TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ACURA CL. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES/HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR STOP FOR 2 MINUTES. IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSER TO MINE, THE COLLISION WILL BE INEVITABLE. THEN, THE CAR STARTED MOVING AS NORMAL AGAIN. THEREAFTER, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY, I TOOK THE CLOSEST EXIT TO RETURN HOME. I STILL HAVE LOW MILEAGE ON THE CAR AND BELIEVE ALSO ACURA SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. ON JULY 8, I CHECK WITH MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THAT ACURA SHOULD HAVE PLACED MY MODEL ON THEIR RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER? UPDATED 5/8/2015 *JS

BRAND NEW GOODYEAR RS-A, 205-55-16 HAVE NO TRACTION AT ALL IN WET CONDITIONS MY CAR (ACURA CL 1999) IS ALL OVER THE ROAD I ALMOST HIT A GUARDRAIL DUE TO LACK OF TRACTION. THESE TIRES HAVE HORRIBLE REVIEWS NOW THAT I CHECKED ON WWW.TIRERACKCOM AND OTHER TIRE SITES FOR THESE REASONS; NO TRACTION. IF I KNEW THAT I WOULD NEVER HAD LET THEM BE INSTALLED ON MY CAR. THE POINT IS THAT GOODYEAR IS SELLING DANGEROUS AND FAULTY TIRES AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LACK OF QUALITY. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE MAIN CONCERN HERE; IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT RAINS AND THE CAR HAS ZERO TRACTION ITS A MAJOR ISSUE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO RECALL THESE TIRES AND REFUND OUR MONEY AND ALSO TO TAKE THEM OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE EFFECTED PARTS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND WOULDN'T REPLACE THEM AGAIN FOR FREE. *TR
