TIRES
I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON THE PAVED PORTION OF NEVADA STATE ROURE 290 AT ABOUT 50 MPH. THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. ABOUT A 10 INCH LONG PORTION OF THE TIRE JUST SHREDED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER HE REFUSED TO MAKE GOOD ON IT. HE CLAIMED I HAD RUN OVER A CURB OR SOME OTHER OBSTACLE. I HAD NEVER RUBBED A CURB, LET ALONE HIT ONE, OR HIT ANY OTHER OBSTACLE. I FIGURED IT WAS NOT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN CARSON CITY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS BEEN RACKED OVER THE COALS. I TINK IT IS TIME TO, AT LEAST, INVESTIGATE GOODYEAR TO SEE HOW SAFE THEIR TIRES ARE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT APPARENTLY DUE TO SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT. TRUCK WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS AS WELL AS EVERYTHING AROUND IT. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD PERMIT THEM TO ASSOCIATE THE FIRE WITH A MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR, AND THAT THEY ARE SURE THAT WE CAN APPRECIATE THAT FIRES OF THIS NATURE DO OCCUR FOR REASONS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS! WELL, PLEASE TELL ME WHY THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY FIRES OF THEIR VEHICLES AND ALOT OF THEM SEEM TO BE WITH THE WIRING, AND YET THEY ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE. MY MOTHER AND MY SON COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED IN THIS FIRE, SO I AM JUST TO ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER IS GOING TO DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY HAVE ALOT OF DEAD BODIES ON THEIR HANDS, AS WITH FORD? I HAVE ALOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS PICTURE! *AK
