TIRES
ON TWO SEPARTE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TIRE FAILURE (BLOW-OUTS) WITH THE FIRESTONE FR680 (DOT W2RWAKTXXX) TIRES DUE TO TREAD DELAMINATION SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH THE FIRESTONE ATX, ATX II, AND WILDERNESS AT TIRES. THE TREAD SURFACE DELAMINATED AT THE STEEL BELT LAYER, CAUSING CATOSTROPHIC FAILURE. PLEASE CHECK INTO SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRESTONE FR680 TIRES, AND REPORT FINDINGS. IF WARRANTED, I THINK FIRESTONE SHOULD RECALL THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE IS ERIOUSLY INJURED/KILLED.( DOT NUMBER: W2RWAKT039 TIRE SIZE: P195/70R14 )

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
MY SOLARA PULLS LEFT EVEN AFTER ALIGNMENT, ROTATION ETC! NOT A VERY SAFE FEATURE! I PARTICIPATE IN EDMUNDS SOLARA FORUM, AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NEVER RESOLVED BY THE DEALER. THE SOLARA MAY SHARE PARTS WITH TOYOTA SIENNA, THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA RECENTLY CHANGED A PART # FOR SOLARAS STEERING ASSEMBLY.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
HOOD ASSEMBLY IS HELP OPEN BY GAS PISTONS. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1994 THE ENGINE HOOD WOULD STAY UP FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS AND THEN COME CRASHING DOWN SUDDENLY. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET YOUR BODY UNDER IT. I GOT STRUCK ON THE LEFT SHOULDER THE FIRST TIME. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE GAS PISTONS. THIS WAS 6 YEARS AGO. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO THE SAME THING HAPPNED TO ME. I LIFTED THE HOOD. IT STATYED UP. I WENT TO CHECK THE OIL AND THE HOOD CAME CRASHING DOWN ON ME. FORTUNATELY I GOT OUT OF THE WAY. THE HOOD IS VERY HEAVY AND IT FALLS FAST. THE BAD THING IS THAT IT STATS UP AT FIRST AND THEN SUDDENLY CRASHES DOWN ON YOU. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SERIOUS HURT SOMEONE.
