TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION RESULTING IN A LARGE BLISTER ON THE TREAD FACE. I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM ASS REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE ON ANOTHER WHEEL OF MY DAUGHTER'S CAR. THIS FAILURE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE HAD WITH THE FIRESTONE NAMEBRAND. ANOTHER DAUGHTER HAD SIMILAR FAILURES ON BRAND NEW TIRES PURCHASED FROM FIRESTONE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASSIONS OVER A 4 MONTH PERIOD. THESE FAILURES WERE ON 16" WHEELS ON A 1997 DODGE AVENGER. THE INCIDENTS TOOK PLACE BEFORE THE WELL PUBLICIZED CURRENT RECALL INVOLVING THE SIZE THAT FITS THE FORD EXPLORER. SHE HAS SINCE SOLD THAT VEHICLE SO I AM NOT ABLE TO AD SPECIFICS CONCERNING THOSE INCIDENTS. BUT, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FAILURES WE HAD INVOLVING FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES INVOLVING DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES THAT MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE IN THE RECALL, I FEEL IT ESSENTIAL TO CALL THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I DO HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF THIS MOST RECENT FAILURE I COULD PROVIDE IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC ADDRESS I COULD E-MAIL THEM TO. OF COURSE, I HAVE POSSESSION OF THE TIRE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE IT TO YOU FOR ANALYSIS IF IT WOULD AID YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THESE FAILURES. WE DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT FOR THE TIRES WHICH MAY BE 18 MONTHS OLD (ESTIMATED). WE WERE TOLD WHEN WE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER THAT SINCE WE LACKED THAT, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THERE ARE 3 OTHER FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES ON THAT CAR. I'M SURE YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE INSECURITY I HAVE WITH THOSE REMAINING ON HER CAR THOUGH REPLACEMENT IS NOT AN INEXPENSIVE CONSIDERATION. I WILL WRITE FIRESTONE AT THEIR WEBSITE (ASSUMING THEY HAVE ONE) AFTER I HEAR FROM YOU. I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN ISOLATED FOR US. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK SOMETHING CAN BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE LOOSE LIVES USING A PRODUCT THEY HAVE MISPLACED CONFIDENCE IN. AN ALTERNATIVE NUMBER TO REACH ME DURING THE DAY IS MY CELL PHONE (225)907-5911. I AM RETIRED SO THESE NUMBERS SHOULD. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
I BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR ENGINE OFF. THE SMELL WAS VERY STRONG AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO NORTHSIDE AUTO REPAIR. THE OWNER INFORMED ME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS. I DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED WITH NEW ONES. THE OWNER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE INJECTORS LEAKING. HE ALSO STATED THAT VERY RARILY DO THEY REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS. HE SAID THEY SELDOM LEAK OR NEED REPAIR. I ASSUMED IT WAS DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR, BUT HE DID NOT FEEL LIKE THIS WAS TRUE. WITH HIS COMMENTS, I FELT LIKE MAYBE THERE WAS A DEFECT. AFTER HIS COMMENTS ON HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS TO DRIVE THE CAR, THIS CERTAINLY SEEMED LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
