THE TIRE HAS A CRACK ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE EDGE WHERE THE FLAT MEETS THE SIDE. NOW THE TIRE WON'T HOLD AIR. THE GROOVES OF THE TREAD ARE STILL 3/16 OF AN INCH DEEP SO THERE ISN'T THAT MUCH WEAR TO THE TIRE. WE DIDN'T TAKE IT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS PARTICULAR TIRE ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST THAT WE KNOW OF. YOU CAN SEE THE STEEL BELT. WHAT SHOULD WE DO IN THIS SITUATION? THIS DEFINATELY LOOKS LIKE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.*AK

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUBFRAME MOUNTING BOLT. ALLEGEDLY RECALL 98V323000 RELATING TO THE MOUNT WAS PERFORMED. HOWEVER CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT NO PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON THE PASSSENGER SIDE REAR SUBFRAME MOUNTING PLATE. CONSEQUENCES OF THE BOLT MOUNTING PLATE FAILURE IS THAT THE DROP IN THE SUBFRAME FROM THE BODY HAS ALLOWED OTHER DAMAGE TO THE PULLEYS AND SERPENTINE BELT. RECALL NOTICE 92M77 RELATING TO THE ENGINE MOUNT FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TT

CONSUMER STATED HE WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE IGNITION KEY, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A LOCAL GARAGE AFTER LOOKING AT THE EXTERIOR OF THE SWITCH THE MECHANIC INFORMED CONSUMER THE TYPE OF SWITCH WAS A NOTORIOUS HIGH FAILURE ITEM, HE WAS THEN ABLE TO FORCE THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION ,THEN THE KEY WOULD ONLY TURN WITH A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE BUT NOW THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START, THEN AFTER CLEANING THE HOUSING AND REINSERTING THE INGITION KEY THE ENGINE STILL WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY WAS NOT AS FREE AS BEFORE. COMING TO THE POINT OF JUST REPLACING THE SWITCH THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE PLUG HOUSING WAS MELTED AROUND THE PINS A-4/B-4&A-2/B-2 WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOOSE CONNECTION THEREFORE HIGH RESISTANCE COULD CAUSE FUTURE FAILURE OF A NEW SWITCH OR FIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *MJ.>*NLM *CB
