STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED TO ME WITH A NOTICEABLE PULL TO THE RIGHT. REPEATED TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND REPEATED TALKS WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IN FACT, THE SERVICE PERSONNEL REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AT ALL. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP HAS ALSO BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE GIVEN UP ON TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT STILL CONSIDER IT TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS TRAVELING ON I-5 IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE & THE LEFT REAR TIRE DISINTEGRATED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, 1 OF THE REMAINING 3 TIRES WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE. BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE SETTLED MY CLAIM FOR THE COST OF BODYWORK AND REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH ATX & ATX II TIRES ARE NOT ISOLATED TO THOSE MODELS. MY EXPERIENCE WAS IDENTICAL TO THOSE RELATED TO ATX & ATXII FAILURES. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATION INTO BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRES BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE DEULER HT LT265/75R16 MODEL FOR SAFETY ASSURANCE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )
