NEEDLESS TO SAY THE 4 ORIGINAL TIRES MY CAR CAME WITH DID THE SAME THING THOSE TIRES WERE REPLACE AND MY TIRES CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY GOOD YEAR MODEL P185/60R15 NO OTHER TIRE FITS I HAD 4 TIRES REPLACED IN MAYOF 2000 THEN I REPLACED ANOTHER 3 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN FEB2001 ALL AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND IT IS NOW JULY AND A NOTHER TIRE BLEW IM SICK OF IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS VEHICLE HAS EXTREME SURGES IN THE MOTOR, ON START UP IF A/C UNIT IS TURNED ON CAR MAY STALL, ALSO "GRINDING" NOISE FROM ENGINE ON OVER NITE START UPS. SURGE IN ENGINE DURING THE WINTER SEASON IS ALSO A PROBLEM, SNOW OR ICE COVERED ROAD ARE BAD ENOUGH, LET ALONE THE VEHICLE DECIEDS TO SURGE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS I WOULD PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR TO NEUTRAL. DODGE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT, BUT THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR ME BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NOISES THAT DODGE HAS DEEMED ACCEPTIABLE.*AK
