TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
YOUR SELECTION OPTIONS DO NOT HAVE THE YEAR OF THE CAR, MAKE, MODEL, TIRE SIZE OR TIRE MODEL SO I FILLED SOMETHING IN TO ALLOW ME TO GO FURTHER ON YOUR OPTIONS RIGHT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT ON MY 1938 STUDEBAKER STATE COMMANDER. I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. I DID NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR GET A PUNCTURE. THE INSIDE CORD SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE AND SHREDDED THE INNER TUBE. I CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER, MCCREARY TIRE & RUBBER BUT HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. THIS IS A GENERAL TIRE BRAND AND THE JET AIR MODEL. THE TIRE NUMBER IS CYWMC4D82211. THE TIRE SIZE IS 6.00 X 16. I REALIZE THE TIRE IS SIX YEARS OLD BUT IT ONLY HAS 2000 MILES ON IT AND I AM WORRIED THE OTHER TIRES ON THE CAR CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TOO THEM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A DEFECT ON A SINGLE TIRE OR IS THIS A MFG RUN PROBLEM? THREE POLICE OFFICERS PULLED UP BEHIND ME PUT ON THERE SAFETY LIGHTS AND THEN CHANGED THE TIRE FOR ME. I'M A 71 YEAR OLD DISABLED VET.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE MANUFACTURER, FORD MOTORS, ADMITS THAT THE PAINT ON ITS 1991 CROWN VICTORIA IS DEFECTIVE, BUT IT OFFERS NO REPAIR OR COMPENSATION FOR THE PROBLEM. IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR TO HAVE THE CAR PROPERLY REPAINTED AND I WOULD LIKE FORD MOTORS TO BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR IS ON AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THANK GOODNESS THERE IS A TRIP ODOMETER IN THE CAR AS I USE THAT TO ESTIMATE WHEN TO REFUEL. 200 MILES, OR ONCE A WEEK, SEEMS TO BE A REASONABLE LIMIT. THE INDICATOR ALSO COMES ON, AS IT SHOULD, WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE 'ON' POSITION.
