WHILE DRIVING ON OR ABOUT 60-65MPH MY DUNLOP RADAIL ROVER AT TIRES WITH ONLY 6000 MILES ON THEM ARE SEPARATING. WENT BACK TO TIRE KINGDOM IN SEMINOLE FL AND HAD IT REPLACED.

WANT TO FIND OUT AFTER THE FIRESTONE INCIDENCE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE TIRES GO BAD ON THEM NUMBER ONE REASON BEING TO PROTECT THE SAFTY OF OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL AS MINE, THANK YOU. *AK

TRANSMISSION IS HARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK REAR DOOR LEAKED WATER AT TOP. DEALER FOUND FRONT CLUTCH SEAL IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, DEALER REPLACED ALL CLUTCHES AND SEALS AND REBUILD O/D ASSEMBLY, THE COOLER HOSE WAS REPLACED DUE TO A BUBBLE ON SIDE OF HOSE. *SLC

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK

THE WHOLE COOLING SYSTEM WAS FOUND TO BE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT A FEW MONTHS AGO. WE HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FIXED ONCE & JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT IS RUSTED AGAIN TODAY. IT WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME BY GOODYEAR (WHERE SON WORKS). IT COST ABOUT $1000.00 THE FIRST TIME TO FIX IT. THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING A GOOD WHILE BACK, WAS FIXED & STARTED LEAKING AGAIN. THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM WAS FIXED TWICE, BOTH TIMES UNDER WARRANTY IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. WE HAD IT FIXED AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN HAMILTON. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM EVERY SINCE IT WAS FIXED THE SECOND TIME THAT WHEN YOU PUMP GAS INTO IT IT CONSTANTLY STOPS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING KEEPING THE GAS FROM PUMPING IN PROPERLY. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. THE REASON WE HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FIXED AT GOODYEAR INSTEAD OF THE DEALERSHIP IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LIKE THE JOB THEY DID BEFORE ON THE FUEL LEAK.

I SENT A DEFECT INVESTIGATION IN EARLIER TODAY BUT I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS ONE UNTIL NOW. WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION & HAD TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY OVERHAULED.
