MICHELIN MX4 ALL SEASON AV 1018 06-55667-0 215/65R16 TIRE TREAD SEPARATION ON HIGHWAY IN FL. *TR

MY LEASED CAR FROM VARSITY LINCOLN MERCURY IS SIX WEEKS OLD, MKZ 2011. PART OF THE PRICE NEGOTIATION WAS THAT THE TIRES WOULD BE INCLUDED IF THEY FAILED. TIRES ARE NOT USUALLY INCLUDED BUT MY SALESPERSON KEPT STRONG-ARMING ME TO "INSURE THE TIRES" AND THIS WAS A RED FLAG SO I KEPT REFUSING AND SUGGESTED I WOULD GO ELSEWHERE. ON FRIDAY, DEC. 10,2011, I CAME OUT FROM THE GROCERY AND MY TIRE WAS FLAT. I CALLED MY SALESPERSON WHO LAUGHED AND SAID I WAS UNLUCKY. SHE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL FOR ROAD REPAIR. WITHIN 40 MINUTES HE ARRIVED AND HAD MY SPARE ON. HE SAID NO NAIL, AND IT COULD BE REPAIRED..FOR SURE. BUT, THE NEXT MORNING AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TIRE AND IF IT WAS HIM, HE WOULD INSURE THE TIRES. $338.45 LATER I LEFT!! WAS IT BECAUSE I AM AN ELDERLY WOMAN? WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR PROMISES?? I CALLED MY SALESPERSON WHO SAID REMINDED ME THAT I WAS PAYING 200 DOLLARS LESS ON MY LEASE MONTHLY WITH THEM THAN WITH MY ACURA.? SHE ALSO SAID THAT THE SHE CHECKED AND THE TIRE WAS SLASHED!!!!!! NO WAY!!!! MY SALESPERSON SAID THE 338.45 INCLUDED NINETY DOLLARS FOR INSURANCE ON THE TIRES . THE SALESPERSON ALSO REMINDED ME THAT FROM CONSTRUCTION THERE WAS DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. HER TIRE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THE WEEK BEFORE. I THOUGHT TIRES WWW MADE FOR REASONABLE WEAR ON ROADS. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY 2004 STOPS ALL OF SUDDEN ON THE RED LIGHT. THE CAR STARTS BUT WHEN SHIFT TO D IT STOPS. THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR IS 72000.00. I HAVE MAINTAIN THE CAR PROPERLY AND NEVER MISS ANY APPOINTMENT. I CALL HONDA BECAUSE ON THE INTERNET IT WAS SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OF 2004 BUT WHEN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS ASKED MY CAR VIN NUMBER THEY HAVE TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS ALMOST 3500. PLEASE HELP.....! *TR

ON 11-12-08 I PARKED MY 20007 FORD FUSION IN THE GARAGE AT 7:00 PM . ON THE MORNING OF 11-13 08 AT 6;00 AM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS FLAT. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY FOUND THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED SAME. I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED. WHEN I INQUIRED IF THIS WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

WE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF TIRE BLOW OUTS IN 4 MONTHS THE LAST ONE OCCURRING ON OCT 12, 2008. THE CAUSE OF BOTH BLOW OUTS WAS THE TIRE STEM BUT WE DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL I HEARD IT ON THE NEWS TODAY. WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT NEW TIRES AFRAID THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BUT WHAT CAN WE DO NOW? I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BUT HOW? THE FORD DEALER WE BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM IS OUT OF BUSINESS SO WE COULD NOT GO THERE WHEN WE REALIZED THAT IT WAS A TIRE STEM PROBLEM AND WITHOUT KNOWING THERE WAS A RECALL WE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHICH WAS AMERICAN TIRE. WE WENT TO AMERICAN TIRE BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED FOR THEM TO FIX THE TIRES AND THEY DID NOT MENTION A RECALL EITHER. THE TIRES WERE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE REPLACED BUT FOR OUR OWN SAFETY WE DID THAT. I GUESS I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO BUT JUST WANTED TO GET SOME ADVISE OF WHAT TO DO, IF ANYTHING. THANKS, PATTY P.S. NO CRASH, NO DEATHS, THANK GOODNESS *TR

DROVE TO WORK, ABOUT 30 MILES, AND BY THE TIME I GOT HERE THE TWO RIGHT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE WERE FLAT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO SHOP, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A REPORT OF DEFECTIVE VALVES. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD THE DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS. HAD THEM REPLACED. HAD TO PAY A PRO-RATED COST BOTH TIMES ON A TIRE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DURING A FOUR MONTH PERIOD, I EXPERIENCED 3 FLAT TIRES, INCLUDING 2 BLOWOUTS, USING DILL TR-413 VALVE STEMS. TIRE FAILURE RESULTED FROM VALVE STEM FAILURE ACCORDING TO TIRE DEALER. ALL THREE FAILURES OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RESULTING IN BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.*TR

PURCHASED 4 TIRES FROM COSTCO, GREENSBORO,NC ON 7/18/07. ALL 4 VALVE STEMS HAVE FAILED. ONE ON 5/18/08 AND THREE ON 8/02/08. *TR
