TIRES
I HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE TIRES UNTIL LATE MAY, 2000. DURING THE LAST WEEK OF MAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2000, I HAD FIVE FLATS ON THESE TIRES. APPARENTLY, THE TEMPERATURE IN TEXAS WAS A FACTOR. THERE WAS NEVER ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IN THE HOLE IN THE TIRE. THE HOLES WERE ALWAYS OF A RUPTURE TYPE, NEVER A CLEAN PUNCTURE. THE FLATS ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS. THE LAST FLAT WAS ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I WAS AGAIN ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND WAS FORCED TO BRAKE SUDDENLY. IMMEDIATELY UPON BRAKING, I EXPERIENCED A RAPID, ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS, DEFLATION OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE, AS THE STAR SHAPED HOLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 INCHES IN DIAMETER. AFTER THIS FAILURE, WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES WEAR ON THEM, I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES ON MY TRUCK. AT THAT TIME, NOTHING HAD BEEN MADE PUBLIC ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W273WMA279 TIRESIZE: P26575R16)

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
PROBLEM ONLY OCCURES WHEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE COMPLETLY WARMED AND TRANSMISSION IS IN OVERDRIVE MODE. IF TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE "3" NO PROBLEMS OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE SPEED. DEALER STATES ON REPAIR ORDER, "NORMAL CONDITION AT THIS TIME UNTIL AN UPDATE COMES OUT". SUGGESTION WAS MADE BY DEALER THAT THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY TOURQUE CONVERTER.
