2014 ACURA ILX Complaints

I PURCHASED GOODYEAR WEATHERHANDLER TIRES 215 45R17 IN DECEMBER OF 2015. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION UNDER THE GOODYEAR LOGO, THERE WAS A SPLIT. THE OTHER FRONT ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD THE SAME SPIT UNDER THE GOODYEAR LOGO. I HAD TO BUY 2 NEW TIRES TO PLACE ON THE FRONT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN MARCH AND SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BOTH SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER. ON 10/21/16 I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE STATUS BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE. I WAS TOLD OH WE HAVE THE PARTS COME IN WHENEVER YOU WANT. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND WONDERING ABOUT THE AIRBAG FOR 7 MONTHS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
