ORGINAL VALVE STEM SEALS MALFUNCTIONED. EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OIL ENTERED COMBUSTION CHAMBER CAUSING ACCUMULATION OF ABNORMAL AMOUNTS OF CARBON DEPOSITS WHICH RAISED TEMPERATURE IN COMUBUSTION CHAMBER LEADING TO PRE-IGNITION / DETONATION WHICH RUINED THE ENGINE. COST OVER $7,500 TO REPLACE ENGINE THAT WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 75,000 MILES UNDER NORMAL OPERATION. *AK

ON 11/24 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HIT SOMEONE WHO LOST CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT GIVING ME MUCH RESPONSE TIME BEFORE I HIT HER CAR. MY ISUZU RODEO HAD EXTENSIVE ENGINE AND BODY DAMAGE AND MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I WAS GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BEING THAT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING ON THE HOV LANE. THANKFULLY THE INJURIES HAVE ONLY BEEN SORENESS AND NOTHING TOO SERIOUS SINCE WE WERE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS.*AK

THE TRUCK IMPACTED A TREE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND AS A RESULT THE TRUCK'S FRONT BUMPER WRAPPED AROUND THE TREE. NEITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE NOR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES, BUT NO BROKEN BONES. THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE IS YET TO BE DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NLM

THE CONSUMER WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE ABS AND PROBLEM WITH A LOCAL DEALER. *NLM

I HAVE SENT FIRESTONE ALL THAT THEY REQUESTED ME. THE FAILED FIRESTONE TIRE ALONG WITH A CD WITH ALL THE PICTURES OF THE TIRE AS WELL AS TWO ESTIMATES TO GET THE CAR FIXED. THE TOP ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE CAR WAS FOR $1380.00. I SENT IT THROUGH FED-EX WITH THE MAILING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COVER OF THE BOX. YOU COULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE TIRE WITH OUT THE BOX BECAUSE THE MAILING INSTRUCTIONS WERE ON THE ALONG WITH THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES!! THEREFORE, ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES HAD TO HAVE RECEIVED THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES WITH THE BOX, WHICH CONTAIN THE FAILED FIRESTONE TIRE. YOU STATED IN YOUR CORRESPONDENCE THAT YOU DO NOT POSSESS THOSE DOCUMENTS. THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD NOT POSSESS THOSE DOCUMENTS IS IF YOU LOST THEM!!! BECAUSE THEY WERE TAPED WITH THE MAILING/DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!!! IF THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES WERE LOST ENROUTE, THEN THE MAILING/DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS WOULD HAVE LOST TOO BECAUSE THEY TAPED TOGETHER WITH THEM AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE TIRE EITHER. THAT IS NOT THE CASE AS YOU STATE THAT YOU HAVE THE TIRE. BUT THEY WERE INSEPARABLE. YOU HAD TO HAVE DELIBERATELY THROWN AWAY THE CD AND THE ESTIMATES AFTER YOU TOOK DELIVERY OF THE BOX CONTAINING THE FAILED FIRESTONE TIRE!!! I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DENY THE CLAIM BY DENYING THAT YOU RECEIVED THE EVIDENCE WHICH I CLEARLY SENT YOU. HAD TO HAD RECEIVED BOTH IF YOU RECEIVED ONE OR THE OTHER. AGAIN THE TWO OR THREE ITEMS WERE INSEPARABLE. THEREFORE, I AM REQUESTING YOU SEND ME A CHECK FOR $1380. 00 IMMEDIATELY PLUS THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRE, WHICH I WILL LET YOU FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF. SEND IT TO; [XXX]. SHOULD YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME FURTHER, YOU MAY CALL ME AT [XXX]. I WILL SEND A COPY OF THIS LETTER TO THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND TO THE BITTER BUSINESS BUREAU IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH MY REQUEST. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE CONSUMERS DAUGHTER (WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALONE) WAS CHANGING LANES MOVING FROM THE RIGHT TO THE LEFT. SOON AFTER CROSSING THE DIVIDER LINES SHE NOTICED BRAKE LIGHTS AHEAD. THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND HEARD A GRINDING, POPPING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. A FEW MOMENTS PASSED, THEN THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED PROPERLY, BUT NOT IN TIME. THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER COLLIDED WITH THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SLIGHT INJURIES TO THE ARMS AND STOMACH OF THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER. THE DAUGHTER ALSO SLIGHTLY INJURED HER RIGHT LEG IN THE COLLISION. POLICE DID ARRIVE ON THE SCENE, BUT NO ONE WAS CITED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. *NLM
