CONSUMER STATES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND AFTER INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT DEBRIS WAS LEFT IN THE FUEL TANK, THAT AT CERTAIN FUEL LEVELS CLOG THE FUEL LINE THAT CAUSES ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN, THE DEALER HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY USING A FUEL FILTER, HOWEVER DEALER STILL HAS THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE TANK RUNS DRY WHILE STILL INDICATING 75 MILES OF GAS ON THE INSTRUMENTATION. *JB

THE SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE FAILED, THE CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT (MICHELIN XSE 205/55/R16). NLM

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS POOR. STEERING IN HIGHER SPEEDS 60 + MPH EXTREMELY SENSITIVE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP VEHICLE IN ONE LANE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL VERY EASILY.*AK

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE PEDAL FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY OF FUEL GETTING INTO ENGINE. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC HAS NO CORRECTIVE SOLUTION FOR REPAIR. HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP WITH PROBLEM 3 TIMES SO FAR. VOLVO V70T5.*AK ENGINE IDLE WAS TOO LOW CAUSING DELAY IN THROTTLE. *YH

MANUFACTURER CLAIMS ROAD HAZARD NOT TIRE DEFECT. HOWEVER, THE TIRE DEALER SAYS THAT THESE WHEELS AND TIRES WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR NJ ROADS. WE HAVE A MERCURY SABLE WHICH WE HAVE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS FOR THE EQUIVALENT AVERAGE MIOLEAGE WITHOUT TIRE FAILURE. AT THESE MILEAGES THREE TIRE FAILURES IN A MONTH IS MORE THAN WE THINK IS NORMAL FOR A CAR BEING DRIVEN ON NORMAL CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER AT THIS POINT THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY.*AK (DOT NUMBER: XTCUCO41 2)
