TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE HAD SINCE RECURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 9/7/09. I WAS INJURED, AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO SHOCK TRAUMA. MY SEAT BELT WAS ON BUT DID NOT WORK, AND BECAUSE IT DIDN'T WORK I RECEIVED A SEVERE HEAD INJURY AS WELL AS NECK AND BACK PROBLEMS, AND CONSTANT HEADACHES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA CIVIC. THREE MONTHS AFTER NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES WOULD SPORADICALLY LOSE TIRE PRESSURE. THE RISK OF A CRASH WAS INCREASED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED WITH THE SAME BRAND. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE TIRE REPLACEMENT, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE VIN, TIRE INFORMATION, AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

PLEASE DESCRIBE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, AND WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; I.E, PARTS REPAIRED OR REPLACED (AND IF OLD PART IS AVAILABLE) DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN YOUR DESCRIPTION SUCH AS NAMES, EMAIL ADDRESS, OR PHONE NUMBER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE VEHICLE HAS COOPER TRENDSETTER SE TIRES, SIZE P175/70R13. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FLAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. HE TOOK THE TIRE IN FOR INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT LOCATE ANY PUNCTURES OR DENTS. NEVERTHELESS, THE TIRE WAS REPAIRED. LAST WEEK, THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRES TO GET INSPECTED AND ROTATED AND WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE TIRE BECAME FLAT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEARS AUTO CENTER WHO ALSO COULD FIND NO FAILURES WITH THE TIRE. SEARS FILLED THE TIRE WITH AIR. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND PLANS ON HAVING THEM REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 153,657 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,057.
