THE DELAY AND MAIN WIPER SYSTEM SOMETIMES WILL STOP, I CAN JIGGLE THE CONTROL KNOW ON THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER, OR USE A DIFFERENT SETTING AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. IF WHILE USING THE WIPERS, I HAVE TO USE THE TURN SIGNALS, THEN IT MAY STOP THE WIPERS AND I HAVE TO RESET THE CONTROL KNOB.*AK

PRIOR TO RECALL, THE FUEL REGULATOR FAILED AND CONSUMER PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED, HOWEVER CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT BUT NO LONGER HAS THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT.*YD

THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT 36K MILES. THEY CAUSED AN EXTREMELY BAD VIBRATION PROBLEM AT ALL SPEEDS. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS THE START OF A TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM. I REPLACED ALL 4 ORIGINAL TIRES IN JUNE OF 2000, WITH NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SAME TYPE AND BRAND. (ONLY ONE OTHER MANUFACTURER MADE A TIRE IN THIS SIZE AND TYPE, AT THAT TIME). THE VEHICLE IS USED VERY SPARINGLY FOR SHORT WEEKEND TRIPS. WITH 2000 MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, THE VIBRATION PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN, NOT YET AS BAD AS BEFORE, BUT WITH FIRESTONE'S PRESENT TRACK RECORD I AM VERY CONCERNED. I WORRY ABOUT THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES THAT OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS SIZE AND TYPE OF TIRE, WE WILL HAVE FALLEN INTO A CRACK IN THE GOVERNMENT'S INVESTIGATION! *AK (TIRESIZE: P27560HR17)
