TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
CONTINUING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH LT235X85R16 RADIAL TIRES OF VARIOUS BRANDS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTINENTAL, GENERAL, ETC. WHERE TREAD PEELS OFF STEEL SOMETIMES BLOWING TIRE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MY `1984 CHEVY K20 SUBURBAN, 1990 DODGE D250 (MULTIPLE TIMES) AND MY 1991 DODGE W350. MY FRIEND HAS EXPEREINCED SIMILAR MULITPLE FAILURESD ON HIS 1990 DODGE D250, ONE OF WHICH I WITNESSED DODGING PIECES OF RUBBER WHEN I WAS FOLLING BEHIND HIM WHEN THE TIRE SELF DESTRUCTED. ALL THESE TIRES APPEARED TO HAVE OVER HALF OF TREAD STILL LEFT AND GAVE NO INDICATION OF ANY DRY ROTTING WHEN FAILED. HAVE EXPERIENCED SIDEWALL DRY ROTTING ON GOODYEAR 235X75R16 TIRES WITH ALMOST NEW TREAD DEPTH. RUMORS FLOATING AROUND THAT ENVIROMENTALIST PUSHED FOR NEW RUBBER COMPOUND TO FORCE TIRES TO DRY ROT TO PREVENT SITTING IN JUNKYARDS WHIHC IF TRUE IS ABSURD AS MORE ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT IN THE LOSS OF OIL AND CREATED BYPRODUCTS TO KEEP REPLACING GOOD TIRES THAT NEVER SEE FULL USE THAT FAIL WITH NEW ONES. WHATEVER THE ISSUE THE CATASTOPHIC FAILURE OF THESE TIRES WITHOUT WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY HAS ALREADY CAUSED ME TO CROSS LANES PRECIPITOUSLY WITHOUT WARNING WHEN THEY FAILED. HAVE SINCE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE WITH 265X75R16 WHEN POSSIBLE. PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST CHILD IN ONE MONTH AND WERE TRYING TO TRADE IN MY 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 FOR AN SUV THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE OUR FAMILY AND BECAUSE OF THIS INCOMPLETE RECALL, NO DEALERSHIP WANTS TO BUY OUR CURRENT VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE OR CAN PROVIDE THE MATERIALS NEEDED TO FIX OUR TRUCK AND CLEAR THE RECALL. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO US AND OUR FUTURE CHILD. WE ARE HAVING TO HOLD ONTO THIS 2005 VEHICLE THAT POSES A DANGER TO OUR FAMILY BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER THAT WILL NOT GET THEIR STUFF TOGETHER AND ACT QUICK ENOUGH ON THE REPAIR. NO ONE CAN FIX THE RECALL RIGHT NOW AND HAVE NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR SO WE COULD BE STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SO THAT DODGE WILL QUIT DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND TAKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUSLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
9-16-16: VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO BE "JUMPED". 9-17-16: NEW BATTERY INSTALLED BUT LATER IN THE DAY, STARTING PROBLEMS WENT ON. 9-19-16: VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER; INITIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING NEW FUEL PUMP AND PLUGS. LATER, THIS WAS THEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A FAULTY "TIPM" AND THAT COST WOULD BE OVER $2000.00 (THAT INCLUDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS APPARENTLY BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT TAKE ACTION TO ISSUE A RECALL. IN REALITY, DID WE BUY A VEHICLE WHICH THE MANUFACTURER KNEW TO CONTAIN DEFECTIVE PARTS? PARTS, WHICH IN REALITY, CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES? SHAME ON THEM! I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A QUALITY VEHICLE. I PAID OVER $45,000 FOR THIS TRUCK AND IT WAS BUILD WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART? HELP ME OUT HERE AND HELP OUT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN.
