VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 60MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE ROLLED OVER, AND VEHICLE EXPLODED. THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES.*AK

THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ON THE CAR WILL NOT HOLD ON EVEN A SLIGHT GRADE. THEY HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED MULTIPLE TIMES, AND RECENTLY I AUTHORIZED RE-LINING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. I WAS TOLD ONLY ONE SIDE WAS WORN THE OTHER WAS LIKE NEW, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE TECHNICIANS THAT THE DESIGN IF FAULTY. ONLY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARK SETTING KEEPS MY CAR FROM ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSB, BUT I WANTED TO LOG THE COMPLAINT. DT

FIRESTONE WILDERNESS LEFT REAR TIRE'S P265/70R16, DOT 8X72WLI1600 BELT BROKE CAUSING VIBRATION, CONSUMER WAS ALBE TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND EXIT HIGHWAY, FIRESTONE REPLACED TIRE WITH AN UPGRADE AT A PRORATED DISCOUNT. *SLC

(DURING COLD WEATHER WARM UP) LOADING VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING, WITH REAR HATCHBACK OPEN, AND HAVING REAR HEATER FAN ON HIGHER BLOWER SETTINGS: THIS ALLOWS EXHAUST FROM (RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE) TO BE PULLED INTO THE REAR HEAT AIR INTAKE VENT (ALSO ON THE RIGHT SIDE, EXTREME REAR OF VEHICLE) AND IS DISTIBUTED TO OCCUPANTS IN VEHICLE. WE HAD AN 11 MONTH OLD PLACED IN A CAR SEAT WHEN THIS OCCURRED (UPPER HEAT VENTS SELECTED) WHICH ALLOWED CARBON MONOXIDE TO BE BLOWN DIRECTLY INTO HIS FACE.. I IMAGINE THIS COULD OCCUR DURING ANY COLD WEATHER IDLING SITUATION WITH THE REAR HEATER FAN SETTING ON HIGHER POSITIONS (SUCH AS LOADING GROCERIES AFTER SHOPPING, WHILE CHILDREN SIT INSIDE). THANK YOU. *AK

MAJOR TREAD SEPARATION ON THE RIGHT REAR OF OUR NEW SUBURBAN, AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND NEAR BOISE, IDAHO. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM THE FREEWAY WITHOUT LOSS OF CONTROL. THE BOISE, IDAHO FIRESTONE DEALER REFUSED TO WARRANTEE THE TIRE, SAYING THE CAUSE WAS ABUSE. THE TIRE IS 6 MONTHS OLD AND CAN BE PROVED TO BE MONITORED REGULARLY. THE DEALER REQUIRED THAT WE PAY RETAIL FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRE, WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE. THE TREAD FAILURE IS EXACTLY LIKE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE WILDERNESS AT FAILURES. WE WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE OF OUR TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AND THE FACT THAT THE LE 16" TIRE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WE WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE REMAINING THREE TIRES REPLACED, AS WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE IN DRIVING OUR NEW VEHICLE ANY LONGER. WE WILL NEXT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, TO SEE IF THE CAN HELP US.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/70R16 )

AS I WAS DRIVING, I HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM OUTSIDE AND COULD FEEL ROUGHNESS IN THE RIDE AND THE STEERING. I PULLED OVER WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO FIND THAT MY TIRE WAS 80 % FLAT. UPON REPLACING THE TIRE I SAW THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE OR NAILS TO THE TIRE. A FEW MINUTES LATER AFTER I HAD PUT MY SPARE TIRE ON, I STOPPED AND INFLATED THE FLAT TIRE TO SEE WHERE THE DAMAGE MIGHT BE. AFTER INFLATING TO ABOUT 10 PSI I STOPPED BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE OUTSIDE EDGE(NEAR TREAD) HAD A VERY SOFT SPOT THAT I COULD HAVE PROBABLY PUSHED MY FINGER THROUGH. IT WAS ALMOST AS SOFT AND THIN AS A INNER TUBE. THEN I ALSO NOTICED SEVERAL LUMPS ABOUT 1 TO1 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER ALMOST ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE CASING NEAR THE OUTER EDGE. THIS WAS ALL ON THE WHITE LETTER SIDE OF THE TIRE. I BRIEFLY LOOK AT THE BACK SIDE BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING. ALL THE TIME I NEVER HEARD AN AIR LEAK, ALTHOUGH AN HOUR LATER IT WAS FLAT AGAIN. AS I STATED EARLIER I ONLY PUT APPX. 10 PSI. WHEN I SAW THE KNOTS APPEAR I STOPED IN FEAR OF THE CASING RUPTURING. IT DEFINITLEY APPEARS TO BE AN INTERNAL PROBLEM SUCH AS BELT OR PLY SEPARATION. BEFORE I CONTACT CHEVROLET OR FIRESTONE I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION SINCE I THINK THIS MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE CURRENT PROBLEM THE THE OTHER RECALLED TIRES AND DID NOT WANT THE EVIDENCE(MY TIRE) POSSIBLY LOST OR DESTROYED WITH YOU HAVING A CHANCE TO SEE IT IF YOU WISH. NON THE LESS I NOW NEED A SPARE, SO I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SOON. I WILL KEEP THE DEFECT THOUGH. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FIRESTONE ON MY TRUCK. UNTIL TODAY I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY ON THE 235 TIRE. ME AND MY FAMILY NEED YOUR HELP TO ASSURE US THAT MY FIRESTONES ARE SAFE OR SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TIRE. PLEASE ADVISE SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS GEORGE( DOT NUMBER: V672WLI070 TIRE SIZE: 265/70R16 )

TIRE FAILURE - TIRE SEPARATING. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

THE TIRE DEVELOPED SEVERE TREAD DISPLACEMENT AND DISFIGUREMENT. LUCKILY, WE NOTICED THE VIBRATION WHEN IT STARTED AND PULLED OFF IMMEDIATELY. WE HAD VERY LITTLE WARNING. IT STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN. WE WERE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AT 70 MPH, WITH 5 PEOPLE AND A LOAD OF LUGGAGE. IT WAS 98 DEGREES OUT AT THE TIME THE TIRE FAILED. THE TIRE WAS KEPT BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN FERNANDINA BEACH. FL. THEIR NAME IS RON ANDERSON CHEVROLET, 904-261-5776. DAVID DUBOSE IN SERVICE HAS THE TIRES. THEY REPLACED ALL 4 OF THE WILDERNESS TIRES ON THE VEHICLE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: N/A TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN THE REAR, UPON INSPECTION THE CONSUMER FOUND A SEVERE BULDGE AND DEFORMITY IN THE TREAD AREA OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE, THE CONSUMER'S TIRE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL(FIRESTONE WILDERNESS LE P265/70R16). NLM

AFTER PURCHASING NEW 2000 VEHICLE, UNABLE TO PROPERLY SECURE CHILD'S SAFTY SEAT INTO MIDDLE POSITION OF THIRD ROW SEATS DUE TO POSITION OF SEAT BELT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NOT MEANS PROVIDED TO SECURE SAFETY STRAP. THERE IS ONLY ONE SECURE POINT PROVIDED, BUT IT IS NEXT TO A WINDOW AND SEAT BELT CAN'NT BE PROPERLY SECURED TO PERMIT NO MOVEMENT WITH CAR SEAT. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT SNAPS ARE NOT POSITIONED IN THE SEAM OF THE SEAT BUT SEVERAL INCHES OUT FROM THE SEAT BACK, THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE ANY SEAT WITHOUT MOVEMENT. MANUFACTURE REPRESENTIVES HAVE ASSURED ME THAT THE SAFEST SEAT IN THE VEHILCE FOR CHILDREN IS THE MIDDLE POSITION. THEN WHY IS A SECURE POINT NEXT TO A WINDOW AND USING A SEAT BELT THAT RELIES ON SUDDEN STOP OF VEHICLE TO STOP THE THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT BELT? 2ND ISSUE - FIRESTONE TIRES PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURE WERE ONLY INFLATED TO 24 PSI (THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 80 PSI),WITH VEHILCE WAS DELIVERED AT SALE. THUS GIVING FALSE SAFETY TO NEW OWNER. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT DEALER MIGHT NOT BE FOLLOWING PRESCRIBED SAFTEY REQUIREMENTS IN PREP OF VEHILCE PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO BUYER. IN LIGHT OF THE NATIONAL CONCERNS REGARDING FIRESTONE TIRES, IT WOULD BE ASSUMED THAT ALL FIRESTONE TIRES NOT TO MENTION ALL BRANDS SHOULD BE UP TO PROPER SAFETY INFLATION STANDARDS PRIOR TO SALE TO PUBLIC. PLEASE PROVIDE INPUT ON HOW THESE ISSUES CAN BE RESOLVED. *AK

PE00-020; CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A THUMPING NOISE, LEFT REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM TIRE. *AK

ELECTRICAL- POWER WINDOWS INOPERABLE FOR THE FIRST 8 MONTHS THAT WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, INVOLVED 5 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BODY DESIGN? PROBLEM - TIRES DID NOT CLEAR VEHICLE BODY WITHOUT RUBBING, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DEALER KEEPS RECOMMENDING US TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES WHEN EVER THEY SERVICE OUR VEHICLE. BRAKES - POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A KINK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE. I NEED TO SUGGEST TO DEALER THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS FOR A PROBLEM THAT WERE HAVING WITH A NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN YOU PRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER RECOMMENDS THAT WE BUY 4 NEW TIRES, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DIAGNOSES IS THAT WE ALSO HEAR THE NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING! I WONDER IF THEY READ THEIR TSB'S*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE WAS COMING LOOSE AND GOUGING INTO THE ROTOR AND ALSO THE BACKER PLATES RUSTED AWAY. *SC *JB
