VERY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW AND WET ROADS. FIRST I TOOK STS TIRES (YOKOHAMA AUTH.) DEALER TO COURT FOR LYING ABOUT TIRES BEING STILL GOOD. THEN TOOK YOKOHAMA TO COURT....... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME DOING THIS..... YOKOHAMA IS PAYING SOMEONE OFF AND GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER. LITERALLY THE JUDGE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE. GOT SCREWED BIG TIME. SOMEONE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOKONUMBNUTS FINALLY GETS NAILED FOR SELLING CRAP AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT?

IN RESEARCHING THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE HAS 91,000 MILES.

NUMEROUS SOURCES HAVE STATED THAT THE DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE IS IRREPARABLE, AND THAT FURTHER USE OF THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS DEFECT INDICATE THAT IT IS TIME FOR THIS MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN DEFECT TO BE INVESTIGATED. #10669545
