CLUNKING POPPING IN FRONTEND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN STEERING WHEEL. CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THIS STARTED DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IT CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER AND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION GOES IN TO LIMP MODE,DOES NOT GO OVER 30 MILES JERKING SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN, WON'T START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON GOES OFF. *TR

THIS IS FRUSTRATING. I'VE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RATTLING STEERING COLUMN. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATE THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WENT TO BRAKEMASTERS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE RATTLING IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. BOTH TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIPS THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M OVER THE 3 YEAR MARK NOW AND NO WARRANTY. WHAT CAN BE DONE? *TR

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, UP UNTIL THEN CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE 200 LOSS POWER AND STALLED OUT. THE ETC LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON OUT THE CORNER OF MY EYE, NEXT THING I KNOW I WAS PLOWED INTO BY ANOTHER CAR. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM COME UP TIME AFTER TIME. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUALLY HAS PLASTIC GEARS, PLASTIC GEARS THAT CONTROL THE OPENING OF THE THROTTLE VALVE IM SURE THOSE TEETH WILL WEAR OUT ON NEARLY EVERY CAR AND CAUSE PROBLEMS. *TR

MY COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 P225/50R18 94T S2 B01RPTL M63HBHDR2711 TIRE. I'VE HAD THIS TIRES AROUND 34,000 MILES AND ON THREE OF THE TIRES THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING CAUSING UNUSUAL TREAD WEAR IN SPOTS AND BUBBLING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. THE BUBBLING WAS BAD ENOUGH FOR ME TO NOTICE A WOBBLE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I FIND SUCH WEAR IRREGULAR AND TO HAPPEN ON THREE TIRES ALL DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME UNUSUAL. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND MY SERVICE PROVIDER NEVER FOUND ANYTHING IRREGULAR ABOUT THE WEAR ON MY TIRES UNTIL RECENTLY. SUCH SWIFT AND IRREGULAR WEAR SHOULD BE RECORDED AND ACTED UPON BECAUSE IT DOES POSE A RISK HAZARD TO DRIVERS WHO MAY EXPERIENCE A BLOWOUT ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE SEPARATION AND BUBBLING. *TR
