BRIDGESTONE TIRES Complaints

I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED TWICE NOW & UPON HAVING IT IN FOR THE 3RD TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOWER RIGHT BALL JOINT WAS OUT. THIS IS WHY I'VE GONE THROW 2 SETS OF TIRES ALREADY, NEEDING THE 3RD SET. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS TRYING TO FIND THE BALL JOINT. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH MY TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION STILL DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS THAT I AM IN THE COMPUTER SO IF ANYTHING DOES HAPPEN, IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. I RAN ACROSS A WEB SITE THAT DISCUSSES THE PROBLEMS OTHER DAKOTA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING & I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH. THIS IS THE 1ST BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED & I'VE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH IT THAN I EVER HAD ANY OT THE OTHERS I HAVE OWNED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/75R15 )

HAVE HAD TO HAVE CAR IN 7 TIMES FOR WARPED ROTORS AND BRAKES. DEALERSHIP EACH TIME HAS TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I DID HAVE TO BUY NEW BRAKES WHILE CAR UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WARPED ROTOR WEAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL WARPED ROTORS AND BRAKES EVEN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. MY BRAKES FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL AND POSSIBLY CAUSE COLLISION. ALSO, TIRE JUST FELL OFF RIM DRIVING OUT OF PARKING LOT. HAD TO PUT NEW TIRES ON CAR AFTER 6 MONTHS OWNERSHIP. SUNROOF LEAKS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR ONLY ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

HONDA HAS IDENTIFIED THAT THE 1998 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A MANUFACTURER'S DURABILITY DEFECT. THEY HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, COSTING CONSUMERS $2700.00 EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. MORE OVER, THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO KEEP IT QUIET. I HAVE SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION OF THE ISSUE, AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU! *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/50/16 )

TIRES REPEATEDLY LOSE AIR, ESPECIALLY IN REAR. STEEL BELT BEGAN SHOWING AND A LARGE SIDEWALL BULGE APPEARED IN ONE REAR TIRE AT ABOUT 15,500 MILES. REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT APPROXIMATELY 15,580 MILES, WITH MICHELIN TIRES, BECAUSE WE FELT THAT THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES WERE NOT SAFE AND DID NOT WANT REPLACEMENTS OF THE SAME MAKE THAT MIGHT FAIL IN THE SAME MANNER IN THE FUTURE.( DOT NUMBER: OBJ6PJA417 TIRE SIZE: 185/70 R14 )

CONSTANT BLOWOUT ON BRIDGESTONE RADIAL TIRES MODEL # R250 SIZE 10R2215 ON BLUEBIRD BODY SCHOOL BUSES 1998 MODEL.(ADDITIONAL BUSES WOULD BE ADDED TO EVOQ). MFR. WAS NOT NOTIFIED. *AK

DEALER REPORTED VEHICLE WAS NOT ALIGNED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING, CAUSED PREMATURELY WEAR TIRES WHICH SUBARU OF AMERICA IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY A SMALL SHARE OF COST( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20570R15 )

THIS TIRE SEPARATED WRAPPING AROUND AXLE AND TEARING OFF REAR BUMPER, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSTABLE UNTIL THE RUBBER TREAD TIRE OFF. THE FACT WECOULD STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON INTERSTATE 75 WAS A MIRACLE. THIS TIRE HAD ABOUT 60000 MILES ON IT BUT WAS ABOVE THE TREAD DEPTH LIMIT. FOUR TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN 1996 AND ANOTHER OF THIS SET WAS REPLACED OVER A YEAR AGO FOR DEVELOPING AN OUT OF ROUND CONDITION. THESE TIRES ARE DEADLY. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 21570R14 )

AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH LANES WHEN THE CAR LOST COMPLETE CONTROL. THE CAR SWERVED SEVERELY LEFT AND THERE WAS NO FUNCTIONING OF THE BRAKES OR STEERING. I WAS THEN HIT DRIVER SIDE BY A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILOR WHO KNOCKED ME INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE CAR WAS DEMOLISHED. THE MECHANICAL EXPERT REPORT SHOWED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS OPEN AND IT APPEARED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELLERATE ALTHOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT TURNED ON AT THE TIME. MY CONCERNS RELATE TO THE INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR OR INITIATE THE BRAKES IF IT WAS IN FACT A TIRE BLOW-OUT AND ALSO I AM CONCERNED AT TO WHY THE THROTTLE WAS OPEN WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS ACCELLERATING INDEPENDENTLY OF MY UTILIZING THE GAS PEDAL. IN CONCLUSION, I AM NOT CERTAIN AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL, HOWEVER, IF IT WAS A TIRE BLOW-OUT, I THINK THAT IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY UNSAFE TO NOT BE( DOT NUMBER: )

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW BUT HAD TIRED THAT WERE NEW BUT STORED PRIOR TO SALE FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. THEY HAVE LITTLE RUBBER BREAKAGES ALL OVER THE OUTER SIDE. WHAT'S THE WAY TO MAKE MANUFACTURE TO SOLVE THIS UNPROPER THING?( DOT NUMBER: )
