TIRES, THOUGH WE HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT OR TREADS PEELING OFF, THE TIRES ARE WEARING MUCH QUICKER THAN THEY SHOULD. WITH ONLY 12,000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE, THE TIRES LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN DRIVEN 50,000 MILES. MID OCTOBER WE CALLED CHRSYLER IN AUBURN HILLS, TO LET THEM KNOW HOW UNSAFE WE FEEL DRIVING THIS TRUCK. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER ELEVEN TIMES FOR WARRANTY WORK, EIGHT OF WHICH WERE FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M32KERHX TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

TIRES
WE HAD 2 SETS OF GOODYEAR TIRES ON THIS TRUCK. THE 1ST SET (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) SEPARATED ON A TRIP TO CALIF. FROM NEVADA. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO FEEL SOMETHING WRONG & STOP. THE 2ND SET IS THE SET THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THE INFO ON. IT ALSO SEPERATED ON THE DRIVE TO CALIF. FROM NEVADA. IT SEPERATED WITHOUT WARNING & DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRK. THE WHEEL WELL WAS GONE, THE BODY WAS DAMAGED & THE BUMPER RUBBER WAS TORN OFF, IN ADDITION TO BENDING THE BUMPER. BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED DURING FAMILY TRIPS. WE SAVED THE TIRE & HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE. THIS TRUCK WAS NOT USED COMMERCIALLY. WE CONTACTED GOODYEAR & THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE TIRE WAS UNDERINFLATED. THIS TRK WAS ALWAYS EXPERTLY MAINTAINED. WE WERE VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAFETY AND THE LAST TIRE SEPERATION WAS THE LAST STRAW, SO WE SOLD THIS TRUCK. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MD11AMHV42 TIRESIZE: LT245175R1)

WHEELS
TRUCK CAME WITH OE WHEELS-16X7 STEEL/BRIGHT TRIM RING QUANTITY OF 4 PLUS SPARE. 3 OF THE 4 WHEELS HAVE CRACKS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED ADVERSELY NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN USED IN ANY OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS. MILEAGE IS DAILY DRIVING ONLY. MY QUESTION IS: HAS THERE BEEN ANY RELATED REPORTING OF THIS DEFECT OF THESE WHEELS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL OR DIFFERENT MAKE, MODEL, ETC.? SHOULD I CONTACT THE DEALER DIRECT OR USE MY INSURANCE CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT? IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME DIRECTLY, PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL. *AK

TIRES
OUR FIRST BLOW OUT CAME ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE OF OUR NEW DODGE RAM VAN. AFTER RETURNING TO A GOODYEAR DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE ONE TIRE. SINCE THAT DATE UP UNTIL JULY 1999, I HAD 11 FAILED TIRES. EITHER BLOW OUTS OR FLATS. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS TO THE DEALER MARK THOMAS MOTORS, CHRYSLER, MARK III CONVERSION, GOODYEAR (THIS PROCESS TOOK ABOUT 4 MONTHS), THEY AGREED MAYBE MY TIRES HAD A PROBLEM. THEY AGREED TO PAY 200.00 TOWARDS A 500.00 BILL TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I HAD NO CHOICE SINCE I REALLY WANTED TO DRIVE MY NEW VAN. THEY SAID THE TIRES MAY HAVE BEEN TO LIGHT TO BE PUT ON THE HEAVY DUTY VAN. I HAVE SINCE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REPLACEMENTS, ALSO GOODYEAR WRANGLERS. THESE WERE TO BE FOR HEAVY DUTY WEAR. THEY ARE FAR FROM WEARING WELL. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT NONE AS SERIOUS AS THE TIRE PROBLEM. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS I WAS TOLD BY ALL AGENCIES THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST REPORTED THIS ORIGINAL TIRE PROBLEM. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD ALONG WITH A FINAL THREAT TO CALL MY ATTORNEY BEFORE I GOT ANY ASSISTANCE. AFTER THE FIRESTONE PROBLEM..I AM VERY CONCERNED AND WANT TO BRING THIS PROBLEM OUT TO THE PUBLIC..MY CHILDREN, THEIR FRIENDS, MY HUSBAND AND MY LIFE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. TO BAD GOODYEAR DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY DEALER AGAIN AS OF TODAY 112100. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND OBVIOUS CONCERNS IN THIS MATTER. KAREN BACA. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
