TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TIRE TREAD SEPARATED AT 55MPH. ABLE TO GET TO ROAD SHOULDER WITHOUT INJURY BUT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER. CALLED GOODYEAR, THEY SAID THAT "NO GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. GOODYEAR SHOP GAVE PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT OF TIRE BUT SAID THAT THIS MODEL NO LONGER MANUFACTERED. BUMPER STILL NOT REPAIRED. AS PER NEWS MEDIA, GOODYEAR HAS A "SILENT RECALL " FOR CERTAIN 15INCH TIRES.IF SO,THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUMPER DAMAGE.I AM ALSO CONCERNED IF REMAINING TIRES POSE A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MKURHKUR09 TIRESIZE: P205/65R15)

VISIBILITY
THE SUN VISOR SNAPPED OFF WHILE BEING ADJUSTED. IT BROKE DUE TO METAL FATIGUE AT THE PLACE WHERE THE POWER CORD FOR THE VANITY MIRROR LIGHT EXITED THE SUPPORT SHAFT. THE STRESS CONCENTRATION CAUSED BY THIS EXIT HOLE GUARANTEES THAT THIS PART WILL FAIL. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS IF IT HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED.

#726108July 27, 2000
STRUCTURE:BODY
VISOR CONTAINS SPRING WHICH JAMMED AND CAUSED VISOR TO JAM; WHEN DAUGHTER (ON LEARNER'S PERMIT) TRIED TO MOVE IT THE METAL BROKE AND VISOR CAME DOWN IN HER FACE. LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING FAIRLY SLOW AND IS LEFT-HANDED SO SHE JERKED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT (BECAUSE HER LEFT HAND WAS TRYING TO GET THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY) - THE CAR ROLLED UP ON THE CURB BLOWING BOTH PASSENGER SIDE TIRES, BUT DID NO OTHER DAMAGE. HOWEVER, IF THIS HAD OCCURRED FIVE MINUTES EARLIER WHEN WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE, THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.
