TIRES
I WAS DOING A LOT OF INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE FIRST ONE SHREDDED IN CENTRAL IDAHO AND THE SECOND IN SALT LAKE. I WAS LIVING IN DENVER AT THE TIME AND GOT NOWHERE WITH THE DEALER. SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN MY FAULT OR ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC. YA RIGHT, SOUND FAMILIAR. PASSED ME ON TO AN 800 NUMBER. I MOVED TO SEATTLE TRIED TO FOLLOW UP AGAIN BUT KEP GETTING PASSED OFF BETWEEN DEALER AND 800 NUMBER AND FINALLY GAVE UP. I STILL HAVE TWO OF THOSE ORIGINAL FOUR TIRES. ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THEY BLOW ALSO. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P195/60R15 )

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED, IT GOES LOWER THAN THE GAS PEDAL. IF THE RIGHT FOOT/SHOE IS NOT FULLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FOOT/SHOE WILL ALSO PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO BRAKE. SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. I'VE CHECKED OUT 1 OTHER 200SX AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. ALTHOUGH MY WIFE IS NOW AWARE OF IT, IT HAPPENED TO HER TWICE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, BUT THOSE DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, UNLIKE THE 10/10/98 INCIDENT INVOLVING MY DAUGHTER..*AK
