TIRES
I HAVE A SUBURBAN WITH WILDERNESS LE TIRES - P265 70R 16. HAD A "FLAT TIRE" WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED TO PUT AIR INTO THE TIRE, IT WAS TOTALLY MISHAPED WITH NUMEROUS BUBBLES IN THE RUBBER. COULD FIND NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE FLAT, AND COULD STILL HEAR AIR ESCAPING THROUGH THE TIRE. MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO AT THE PLANT THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALLS. THE RECALL COVERS TIRES FROM CARS ASSEMBLED IN THAT PLANT IN APRIL AND MAY OF 2000. MY CAR WAS ASSEMBLED THERE IN AUGUST OF 2000. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL SHOULD POSSIBLY BE EXTENDED TO A LARGER TIME FRAME. I AM GOING TO HAVE ALL OF MY TIRES INSPECTED.

TOYOTA OF ORANGE DID NOT STAND BY THEIR GUARANTEE OF "LEMON" USED CARS. I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE FROM THEM AND CONTINUOUSLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS, BUT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK. I AM NOW PAST THE ELIGABLE TIME LIMIT FOR 'LEMON LAW' BENEFITS AND AM STUCK WITH A DEFECTIVE CAR THAT I CANNOT EVEN SELL FOR THE 'KELLY BLUE BOOK PRICE', BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY.

TIRES
THE FIRST TIRE STARTED LOSING BIG CHUNKS OF THREAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 75MPH. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE AT THAT TIME, AND THAT'S WHY I DECIDED NOT TO FILE A CLAIM WHEN I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIRE STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT 40 MPH. I WENT BACK TO DISCOUNT TIRE WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE FOUR TIRES TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE THREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THAT MOMENT. THE THIRD TIRE BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAME FREEWAY AT 75 MPH. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, AVOIDING AN MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A $2,600 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS HAVING THAT TIRE REPLACED I ASKED THE DISCOUNT TIRE MANAGER TO INSPECT THE FOURTH AND LAST DESERT DOG TIRE I HAD LEFT ON MY VEHICLE. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TIRE WAS SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT TOO, AND REPLACED IT. DT
