TIRES
GOODYEAR TIRE. INTEGRITY P215/65R17. THIS TIRE CAME WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE FROM THE TIRE AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE, HOWEVER THE TIRE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND TO RETURN IT TO THE GOODYEAR DEALER. THE OWNER LATER CONTACTED THE GOODYEAR MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THE TIRE WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. THE OWNER TOOK THE TIRE TO MR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. I NOTICED THAT MY HORN IS INOPERABLE UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED ON. IN TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON TRAIT ON THIS NEW VEHICLE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY CHECKED OTHER NEW VEHICLES IN THEIR INVENTORY IN STATED THAT THEY WERE ALL LIKE THAT. THEY THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLERS HELP LINE AND WERE INFORMED THAT "UNBELEIVABLE AS IT IS, THAT IS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED". IN MY OPINION, THIS COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I AM SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE IGNITION OFF AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE BACKING INTO ME IS IMMINENT, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WARN THEM WITH MY HORN.
