SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
I was driving my car and fault something wrong with the steering and went to make a right turn I heard a noise and my car front passenger side of my car was on the ground and my wheel was under my car. Thank goodness for no one else being involved that day and thank God I wasn't hurt badly... I have never seen or have anything like that to happen to me... I'm glad my children wasn't with me... I'm glad I wasn't traveling down the road when that happened.....

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TOOK MY CAR IN 10/23/15 TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP I NEEDED NEW TIRES THAT THEY WERE ALMOST BALD AND THE THREAD INDICATORS WERE SHOWING ON ALL 4. MY TIRES HAD ONLY 20K MILES ON THEM AND THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 60K MILES. SHOP SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT FALKEN TIRES AND CALL ME BACK. FALKEN JERKED THE SHOP AROUND FOR OVER A WEEK PASSING HIM FROM DEPT. TO DEPT. RED FLAG!!!! IN THE MEANTIME I CHECKED W/ SEVERAL OTHER SHOPS AND IN ONLINE FORUMS AND REVIEWS. ALL SAID THEY HAD THEY'RE TIRES WEAR OUT IN 6-8 MONTHS OR MORE. THE SHOPS SAID BECAUSE OF THE WEAR PROBLEMS THEY WOULDN'T SELL THEM AND FALKEN HAD SHORTENED THE WARRANTY TO 40K AND 5 YEARS. MANY SUBMITTED CLAIMS AND WERE DENIED 2 OR 3 TIMES. THE SHOP WAS TOLD BY FALKEN FOR ME TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THEY'D REIMBURSE ME IF THEY FOUND A PROBLEM W/ THE TIRES. AM DISABLED ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T DO THIS. WHAT GOOD IS A WARRANTY IF THE COMPANY IS GOING TO IGNORE YOU? I DON'T TRUST FALKEN THE COMPANY OR THE BRAND BASED ON THEIR DECEPTION AND NOT RECALLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BASED ON MANY MANY PROBLEMS. THESE ARE FALKEN ZIEX 912'S SIZE 205/65/R15. THINGS REMAIN RIGHT AT A STALEMATE, BUT I HAVE SENT A LETTER TO THE FALKEN CEO.

WHEELS
II TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND I WAS TOLD I NEED NEW TIRES. MY TIRES HAVE ONLY 20K MILES AND A 60K MILE WARRANTY. THE TIRE SHOP CALLED FALKEN WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR OVER A WEEK BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CONSULTED ONLINE FORUMS AND CHECKED W/ SEVERAL TIRE SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FALKEN ZIEX 912'S HAD WEAR PROBLEMS AND THAT FALKEN HAD CUT THE WARRANTY TO 40K MILES AND THEY WOULDN'T SELL THEM. CONSUMER REPORTS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THEM IN 2010 WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THEM. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE ONLY HAD THEM LAST A FEW MONTHS AND ONE LADY I RECALL 6 MONTHS AND ALL GOT NO HELD OR RELIEF FROM FALKEN. WHY WEREN'T THESE RECALLED AND PULLED FROM SALE? FALKEN TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THEN THEY'D CONSIDER MAYBE REIMBURSING ME A SMALL AMOUNT. I AM DISABLED ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT DO THIS AND I DO NOT TRUST FALKEN OR THEIR BRAND. I NEED TIRES FOR MY CAR NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AIR BAGS
THIS MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 A.M. CENTRAL, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AWAKEN TO OUR CAR HORN BLARING. I AM QUITE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS ARE NOW AWAKE AS WELL. WE TRIED TO TURN IT OFF THINKING IT WAS THE PANIC BUTTON, BUT TURN OUT THAT IT WAS THE HORN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PRESS ON IT REPEATEDLY TO MAKE IT STOP. HE GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND AS SOON AS HE SHUTS THE DOOR, IT START BLARING AGAIN!!! HE THEN LEAVES THE CAR DOOR OPEN AND STARTS THE VEHICLE TO HEAT UP THE ENGINE, SINCE WE HAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS WARM THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE DOOR WITHOUT IT GOING OFF AGAIN. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HORN GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING!!!! I ALSO HAVE READ WHERE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM, AS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND COVERED 100%!! IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING, BUT ALSO A DANGER IF IT OCCURS WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING!!!!!! *TR
