I HAVE HAD THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED IN 2001, 2002 AND 2003 WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND AROUND A YEAR OF WEAR. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE REPLACED, THE DEALER DID THEM AND PUT IN DEFECTIVE PARTS. AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM EVEN AFTER ADMITTING THEIR DEFECTIVENESS-- OF COURSE THE SERVICE REP DENIES HAVING ADMITTED THIS.

TIRES
1 YEAR AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSTEADY. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, ABOUT 20 FEET, I LET THE CAR ROLL DOWN HILL TO MY HOME. I CHECKED THE TIRES & TO MY HORROR SAW THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD FORMED A LARGE BLEB, LIKE A LARGE BALLOON ON THE OUTER SIDE. I RAN TO CALL MY HUSBAND & THE TIRE BLEW UP. I HAD THE TIRE CHANGED AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. NOW, I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE IS FORMING A SIMILAR BLEB, ON THE OUTER SIDE. THESE TIRES WERE BOUGHT FROM PRICE CLUB. I TOOK THE CAR TO PRICE CLUB. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD PAY FOR THE TIRE, BUT REQUESTED THEM TO INFORM MICHELIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED. I CALLED MICHELIN ON 9/18/00 & SPOKE TO MS. MILLIE/CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM & WANTED THE TIRE INSPECTED FOR ANY DEFECTS. SHE SAID THAT MICHELIN NEVER PRODUCED ANY DEFECTIVE TIRES & THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ALL THE TIME, DUE TO IMPACT. SHE REFUSED TO LOOK IN TO THIS MATTER. I AM WRITING TO YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS FOR OTHERS. ONE YEAR AGO, IF THE TIRE HAD BLOWN UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED & IN ADDITION, OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT THAT SAMETIME WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IT IS WORRISOME TO ME THAT MICHELIN DOES NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE THIS. MORE WORRISOME IS MICHELIN'S STATEMENT THAT " THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME". I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE, THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME TWICE. PLEASE HELP ME & PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. (DOT NUMBER: B9P2B7KX TIRESIZE: 205/60R15)

THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IN THIS CAR BEGAN OCCURRING WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION STATING THAT. NOW, THE ABS SYSTEM IS FAILING AND MAKES A CONSTANT NOISE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD IT FLUSHED AND LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER.
