TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ON AUGUST 30,2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE TREADING ON MY TIRE CAME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO KEEP CALM AND NOT PANIC AND I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE EMERGENCY PULL OFF WITHOUT SPINNING OUT OR CRASHING OR MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 8/28/2015 AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS DATED FOR 8/28/2015 AS WELL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE WAS A BAD TIRE I CONTACTED THE STATE POLICE AND AFTER AN INVESTIGATION THEY TOLD ME THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR BRAND TIRE AND THEY STATED THAT AN RECALL WOULD NEED TO BE ISSUED. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE IF I HAD NOT REMAINED CLAM OR KEPT CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE AND TIRE TO BE INVESTIGATED/RECALLED BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE WHILE DRIVING I HAVE FLASHBACKS OF THIS INCIDENT AND HAVE PROBLEMS SWITCHING LANES CROSSINGS INTERSECTIONS AND THINGS THAT WAS NORMAL FOR ME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE TREADING FROM THE TIRE WENT UNDER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING SO MY CAR WAS TOTALED OUT DUE TO THIS INCIDENT. AMERICAN GENERAL TIRE SIZE 21570R15 DOT NUMBER A3M344H4399

ENGINE
WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AT 50MPH. AFTER GETTING CAR UP TO A SAFE SPEED, GOT THE CAR HOME WHERE IT THEN STOPPED RUNNING AND WOULD NOT RE-START. MECHANIC CHECKED AND FOUND THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AT 130,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE REAR-ENDED AS I WAS ON A70MPH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY! ALSO, YOUR WEBSITE KEEPS TELLING ME I HAVE AN "INVALID VIN NUMBER!" THIS IS THE ONLY ONE EVER ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHAT'S WITH THIS?

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
BEGINNING ABOUT AUGUST OF 2015 UNTIL NOW, OCT 2015, THE ENGINE OF MY BUICK LE SABRE HAS BEGUN TO STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THAT OCCURS I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. TONIGHT (OCT 7, 2015) IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. I MADE IT HOME SAFELY FORTUNATELY BUT I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL IT IS FIXED. LAST WEEK I HAD BOTH A MOBILE MECHANIC AND AN AUTO SHOP (PURCELL) LOOK AT IT AND THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY CALL IT AN INTERMITTENT DEFECT. WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE AUTOMOBILES THAT GM HAS RECALLED, ALTHOUGH MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL ARE NOT ON THE LIST THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. MY EXPERIENCE IS SO SIMILAR THAT I WANT MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED BY GM BEFORE I WILL DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS.

AIR BAGS
BOTH (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) FRONTAL AIRBAGS ON MY 1995 BUICK LESABRE DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON ON JUNE 27TH AND 28TH 2015. ON THE 27TH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THOUGH IT SPILLED SODA OVER THE BACK SEAT. ON THE 28TH THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I76, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY RIGHT WRIST WAS INJURED AND IS RED AND SWOLLEN BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S BROKEN. THE HORN THEN STAYED ON AND I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR IT. (BTW WHICH DUMB ASS PUT THE HORN ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE POWER LOCKS AND INTERIOR LIGHT?) IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. I NOTICED AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE FIRST AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, COULD HAVE BEEN ON BEFOREHAND BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER.
