WHILE HWY DRIVING ONE DAY IN J30, VEHICLE SUDDENLY VIOLENTLY BECAME UNMANAGEABLE, VIBRATING, PULLING, DIFFICULT TO STEER. PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE THAT 2 FRONT TIRES AND ONE BACK HAD TERRIBLY DEFORMED-BELTS DELAMINATED AND BULGING IN VARIOUS PLACES. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO PEP BOYS STORE # 165. 4/6/2001 PEP BOYS REMOVED DEFECTIVE TIRES AND I HAD LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO PUT BACK SAME BRAND & SIZE TIRES & HAD TO PAY FOR TIRES, INSTALLATION, HANDLING & BALANCE, TOTAL $159.84. 3/7/2012 SIMILAR INCIDENT WHILE HWY DRIVING VW JETTA 2 TIRES DEFORMED. THIS TIME I REFUSED PEP SOLUTION AND BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES @ TIRE KINGDOM FOR $342.09 3/17/2015 DRIVING I-95 NORTH FOR MY DAD'S FUNERAL IN J30 REAR TIRE DEFORMED. FOUND PEP STORE #1641 TITUSVILLE FLA.

BAD TIRE STILL ON CAR. ALL TIRE PROBLEMS WERE DEFECTIVE NATURE AND NOT FROM ROAD HAZARD. CAR IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE SO FILED CASE # 375135 W/PEP BOYS STORE #165 WANTS TO AGAIN CHANGE ALL TIRES FOR SIMILAR WITH ADDITIONAL COST TO ME AGAIN. I DECLINED AND ESCALATED ISSUE TO UPPER MGMT.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING , A MONTH LATER THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR STOPPED WORKING, 2 WEEKS LATER THE DRIVERS DOOR STOPPED WORKING ON MY 1997 INFINITI J30 (WHICH I PURCHASED NEW, ONLY 107,000 MILES ON IT).NOW THE ONLY DOOR THAT WORKS IS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THERE ARE NO BLOWN FUSES. IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR THAT ELECTRONICALLY OPENS AND CLOSES THE MECHANISM. IF THE OTHER DOOR FAILS , I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG UNEXPECTEDLY DEPLOYED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL AND SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SUSTAINED SCRAPES AND BRUISES ON MY LEFT FOREARM. OTHER PASSENGERS (1 ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A CHILD IN A CHILD SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT WERE UNINJURED). SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAD PERMANENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AT WHICH TIME THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM AND THAT, IF NOT FIXED, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY EVEN IN AN ACCIDENT. DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR, IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AT THE TIME. *AK
