#729910September 1, 2000
TIRES
THE SCOPE OF THE FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE PROBLEM IS MUCH LARGER THAN THE COMPANY IS ADMITTING. MY 16 YEAR OLD SON HAD A TIRE DISINTEGRATE ON 4/21/00. THE SPARKS RESULTING FROM THIS WERE SO BAD THAT PASSERS-BY CALLED 911. THE OFFICER WHO CAME TO ASSIST MY SON SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE FALL TO PIECES LIKE THAT. IT WAS IN THE SAME SHAPE I'VE BEEN SEEING THE TIRES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL - SEPARATING AND SHREDDING. THE NEXT DAY WE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND DUE TO OUR FEARS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANOTHER TIRE. I RETAINED ONE TIRE TO USE AS A SPARE. THESE TIRES WERE NOT OLD, HAD NOT BEEN MISUSED, HAD PLENTY OF TREAD. WHEN I SAW THE REPORTS ON TELEVISION, I REALIZED THE PROBLEM IS MUCH LARGER THAN THE COMPANY IS ADMITTING TO.( DOT NUMBER: 1CKAP2A096 TIRE SIZE: P195/75R14 )

#546617February 4, 1997
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
OVERDRIVE CONVERTER HAS BEEN REBUILT FOUR TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT TWICE WITHIN 45,000 MILES OF USE. IT APPEARS THAT VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED UNDER SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS. DO THESE BULLETINS EXPIRE AND THE COMPANY IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE?
