MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THIS FACILITY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 1 YEAR. THE ORIG. OWNER PURCHASES ALL VEHICLES FROM THEM FOR HIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND MAINTAINS THEM REGULARLY, AS I HAVE. I HAD THE PART AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT THEE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAD A 60,000 MILE SERVICE BRAKES AND NEW TIRES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THEY CHARGED ME $1400 AND 11 HRS. LABOR FOR THESE REPAIRS THAT SHOULD TAKE NO LONGER THAN 3. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO WAS ASSURED THEY WOULD ONLY FIX THE THINGS REQUIRED BY GM DEALER AND I COULD GET MINOR THINGS DONE AT MY REGULAR MECHANIC. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME BACK AND SPEND ANOTHER $800.00 DOLLARS ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. I WILL ASK FOR A FULL REFUND OR AT LEAST HALF MY MONEY BACK FOR BAD FAITH AND FRAUDULOUS ACTIVITY ON THE PART OF A SERVICING BUSINESS. I'M A SINGLE MOM LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND THEY TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF ME. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT I AND OTHER INNOCENT TRUSTING PEOPLE DON'T GET TAKEN BY THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK CENTER EVER AGAIN. I F YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COPY OF MY RECEIPT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. I HAVE PAID THE $1400 AND DO NOT HAVE THE ADDITIONAL $1000 THEY WANT TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR THEY SAY I NEED. I REALIZE THIS VEHICLE IS SUPERIOR BUT THAT'S WHY I SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY AND SERVICED IT REGULARLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS PAYING FOR A QUALITY CAR. THE WARRANTY THEY SAY IS NO LONGER VALID. HELP!! I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTINF MY LOCAL CONSUMER ADVOCAT AS ELL AS THE MEDIA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! SINCERELY, [XXX] (STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY C A. LIC.#[XXX] ) NO REFERRALS FROM ME OR MY CO-WORKERS THAT'S FOR SURE.*AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

#759035March 7, 2002
TIRES:TREAD/BELT
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT POSTED SPEED, WHEN TIRE BELT SEPARATED. BELT CAUGHT UP IN FENDER WELL AND LOCKED BOTH REAR WHEELS, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SWERVE LEFT AND ROLL SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE AND I ARE FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE. BF GOODRICH CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY, DUE TO THEIR INSPECTION OF THE TIRE THEY NOTED A PUNCTURE. I WONDER HOW MANY THOUSAND OF TIRES OUT THERE HAVE A NAIL OR FORIEGN OBJECT IN THEM RIGHT NOW, THAT WILL CAUSE THE B.F.GOODRICH TIRE TO FAIL AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO TRY AND RECOVER DAMAGES, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY, AND OF COURSE BF GOODRICH TAKES NO RESPONSIBLITY. *AK (DOT NUMBER: AP70HK1145 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)
