RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD A BLOW OUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE TIRE SPLIT FROM WHERE THE TREAD STARTS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDEWALL. THE OTHER INCIDENT IN WHICH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT, I WAS SLOWING DOWN UPON COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION. THE TIRE SPLIT FROM THE TREAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SIDEWALL. I DO NOT HAVE THE FIRST TIRE THAT HAD A BLOW OUT; HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, I DO STILL HAVE THE ENTIRE SET OF TIRES AND SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE ON THE RIM. I HAVE REPLACED THESE TIRES, BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT I MAY BE INTITLED TO, DUE TO THESE INCIDENTS AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF RECALL ON THESE TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75/16 )

1. WHEN GOING OVER MINOR BUMPS CONSUMER CAN HEAR REAR LEAF SPRINGS HIT AGAINST EACH OTHER, METAL TO METAL SOUND; 2. WHEN ACCELERATING, CONSUMER CAN HEAR A VALVE NOISE. *AK *ML

ON JAN. 14, 2000. MY ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. BOTH THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE REPLACED BY DEALER. NOW BRAKES GO TO FLOOR. PULL TO RT, AND ARE MUSHY. I THINK THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY WON'T DO ANYMORE. THESE BRAKES ARE STILL DEFECTIVE AND MAKE THE VEHICLE A HAZARD TO DRIVE. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE COMING TO AN INTERSECTION, IF ONE OF THE REAR TIRES HIT A TAR STRIP, CHUCK HOLE OR BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, THE TRUCK GOES INTO ABS BRAKING, REDUCING STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH COULD CAUSED A CRASH. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER STATED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING NORMALLY. *AK
