TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50MPH, AND WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, THE FRONT DRIVER-SIDE GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT TIRE BLEW OUT. IN DOING SO, IT ALSO BLEW OUT THE HOUSING, THE FRONT BUMPER, THE FRONT LIGHTS AND ASSORTED OTHER ITEMS. THE BLOW OUT FORCED US FROM THE SLOW LANE OVER 3 LANES TO THE MEDIAN DIVIDER. THANK GOD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD B/C DEATH AND DISASTER WOULD HAVE ENSUED. WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT LOSING THE TRAILER. THE RADIALS WERE INFLATED PER MANUFACTURER SPECS, HAD BEEN ROTATED PER SPECS, AND HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON THEM. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT 2:30PM ALASKA TIME; THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE - IT WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE BODY SHOP. ESTIMATES TO REPAIR ARE SUBSTANTIAL!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1995 DODGE 3500 WITH WHITE PAINT AND BACK IN 1999 I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT WAS STARTING TO PEEL. I DO USE THE TRUCK FOR WORK SO IT IS HARD TO BRING THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER UNLESS IT IS SOMETHING WORTH TAKING IT OFF THE ROAD FOR A FEW DAYS. IN MARCH OF 2001 THE TRUCK HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR SOME SERVICE AND RECALL WORK SO I POINTED OUT THE PAINT PROBLEM AND THEY COULD DO ANYTING ABOUT IT. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. NOW IT IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED. THEIR SERVICE MANAGER HAS SAID HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING BUT EVER TIME I GET A MINUTE TO CALL HE IS NEVER AROUND AND HE DOES NOT RETURN MY CALLS. SO I AM FILLING OUT THIS REPORT TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PAINT OF THE 1995 DODGE 3500 AND IF THERE IS WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE THE DEALER HONOR THE RECALL...THANK YOU.
