CONSUMER HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN WORKING ERATICALLY WHEN AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATER IS ON. IT MAKES DRIVETRAIN SHIFT IN AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE.

FILLING THE GAS TANK TILL THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OCCURS, FUEL LEAKS (APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON) FROM THE FUEL LINE GOING INTO THE GAS TANK. IS THIS THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE LEAKAGE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBERS 00V419001 & 00V419002? I NEED TO GET THIS CORRECTED ASAP TO AVOID AND FUEL IGNITION POSSIBILITIES. DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION CLOSES FOR A RECALL? I HOPE NOT.

I PURCHASED 4 YOKOHAMA AEGIS GS4 P215/70R-15 97S TIRES (SERIAL NO. CC608HN428) AT DISCOUNT TIRE IN MIDLAND, TX ON DECEMBER 18, 1998. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 6,000-8,000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED. MOST OF THE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES HAS BEEN IN TEXAS AND OTHER SOUTHERN STATES. IN AUGUST, 2000 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SEPARATED AFTER 32,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 4, 2001 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE LEFT FRONT DEVELOPED CRACKS FROM THE EDGE OF THE TREAD TO THE SIDEWALL (SEPARATED?) AND WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE AFTER 37,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 10, 2001 THE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FAILED WHILE DRIVING AFTER 37,000 MILES. THE INSIDE SIDEWALL WAS COMPLETELY DETERIORATED (SEPARATED?). ALL THREE TIRES WERE REPLACED BY DISCOUNT TIRE UNDER THEIR WARRANTY WITH A COMPETING BRAND OF TIRE FOR $20-27/EACH. IT SEEMS A 75% FAILURE RATE IS NOT VERY GOOD AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.*AK (DOT NUMBER: CC608HN428 TIRESIZE: P215/70R15)

IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY WHICH RESULTED IN THE KEY BEING ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SWITCH WITHOUT BEING IN PARKED GEAR, THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO AN IRON GATED DOOR CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. *MJS
