VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:INTERIOR
I WAS DRIVING FROM SF HOME AND MY REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF, TAKING A PIECE OF MY WINDSHIELD WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE A HOLE IN MY WINDSHIELD, MORE LIKE A CRATER ON THE INSIDE OF IT. MY CAR IS A 1994 HONDA CIVIC DX COUPE WITH ABOUT 116,000 MILES ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS OUT OF THE BASIC WARRANTY, BUT THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY WINDSHIELD IS PERFECTLY FINE OTHERWISE AND NOTHING HIT MY CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED NOR DID I RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT MAY OF JOLTED MY CAR. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM SAYING ONLY SEAT BELTS HAVE UNLIMITED WARRANTY. TS

TIRES
THIS TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO APPARENT REASON AND COMPLETELY SEPARATED, CAUSING THE CAR TO SPIN 360 DEGREES IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IT WAS A CATSTRAUPHIC FAILURE WITH COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE WITH NOTHING REMAINING BUT THE TWO PARTIAL SIDEWALLS ALL THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND THE STEEL BELTS WERE COMPLETELY SEVERED WITH NO SHREADS LEFT JUST A CLEAN SEPARATION. I AM WORRIED THAT THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE OTHER FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!!!!! PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WETHER THESE TIRES ARE SAFE AND WHO THE MANUFASCTURER IS. I KNOW PEP BOYS MARKETS THEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO MANUFACTURES THEM. *AK
