SEAT BELTS, CHILD SEAT:HARNESS BUCKLE:CONVERTIBLE
2 OF THE SEAT BELTS ON MY 1992 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER CAME COMPLETELY OUT IN A PASSENGER'S HAND. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STRICTLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S STANDARDS AND BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME - BUT THIS COULD HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. I THINK ALL LANDCRUISERS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE THEIR SEAT BELTS CHECKED AND THAT THIS CHECK SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHO WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE SEATBELT CONSTRUCTION WAS SO FAULTY THAT IT ERODES OVER TIME?

TIRES
TIRE BLEW OUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. TREAD SEPARATED FROM SIDEWALL. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION SINCE I CANNOT DETERMINE IF THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO TIRE FAILURE.

TIRES
I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 OF THESE TIRES ON 7/20/99 WHEN MY TRUCK HAD 159,588 MILES. THE BELTS/TREAD ARE SEPARATING WHICH I FIRST NOTICE AS A BUMPY RIDE. THE FIRST TIRE FAILED AT 167,514 MILES ON 07/13/00. THE SECOND TIRE FAILED AT 173373 MILES ON 05/16/01. THE THIRD TIRE FAILED AT 174,337 MILES ON 07/25/01. THAT'S 3 OUT OF 4 SO FAR AND I'M KEEPING MY EYE ON THE LAST ONE BECAUSE CHANCES ARE IT WILL FAIL TOO. THE FOLKS AT THE FIRESTONE DEALER INSIST THIS IS AN ISOLATED CASE AND THEY KNOW OF ON OTHER FAILURES OF THIS MODEL AND SIZE TIRE, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE RIDING ON THEM. THE DEFECTIVE TIRES ARE BEING REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME, BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY MONEY BACK AND GO BUY SOMETHING OTHER THAN FIRESTONE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF FAILURE ANALYSIS, IF ANY, FIRESTONE IS DOING ON MY DEFECTIVE TIRES AND IF THEY REPORTED ANYTHING TO YOU. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDYK4RA218 TIRESIZE: 32X11.5R15)
