ON 01/24/2001, I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, ABOUT 3 - 4 FEET IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE OF MY HOUSE. I WENT INTO MY HOUSE AND AFTER AT LEAST 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE OR MORE (AFTER I HAD GOTTEN WELL WITHIN MY HOUSE), I HEARD A VERY LOUD BOOM SOUND---LIKE A

ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AFTER I OWNED MY VEHICLE, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS SHOWING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE CAR ALIGNED. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND THE CAR ALIGNED. THESE TIRES HAVE A LOT OF TREAD EVEN THO THEY KEEPING WEARING ON THE EDGES. I HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. IN DECEMBER 2000 I WENT TO THE GOODYEAR PEOPLE AND THEY SAID ONE TIRE HAD THREE BUBBLES ON IT SO I PUT THE SPARE ON. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT ALL TIRES HAD BUBBLES AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY WANT ME TO BUY THE SAME TIRE FOR $113. EACH AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A 25% DISCOUNT, WELL I WOULDN'T BUY THAT TIRE AT ANY PRICE. THE MASSEY DEALER SAYS IT IS UP TO GOODYEAR. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THESE TIRES ON IT. I FEEL THAT IF A TIRE ONLY LASTS 28000 MILES IT SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON A NEW VEHICLE AND CERTAINLY NOT SOLD AT $113. A TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6VF HKDR TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED FROM DRIVE INTO LOWER GEAR. WAS UNABLE TO GET BACK INTO DRIVE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY RELPLACED THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE TRASMISSION WHAT GEAR TO BE IN. ON 9/27/2000, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE.

THE EXACT PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY THE $315 THEY ARE CHARGING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.*AK
I WAS DRIVING TO THE TRAIN STATION ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 29TH WHEN SUDDENLY ALL OF THE VAN'S INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE LIGHTS STAYED ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WENT OFF BY THEMSELVES, JUST AS THEY HAD CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, ALL OF THE POWER DOOR LOCKS, INCLUDING THE REAR GATE, SPONTANEOUSLY UNLOCKED. I RE-LOCKED THE DOORS BY USING THE LOCKING SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. HOWEVER, THE SEQUENCE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON, GOING OFF, AND THEN ALL DOORS AND THE REAR GATE UNLOCKING HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES, FOR A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE THIRD TIME. I CALLED SMITH HAVEN CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH AS SOON AS I GOT TO WORK AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST. THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY EXAMINED THE CAR. BUT SINCE THE DOORS UNLOCKED BY THEMSELVES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS REPORTED. I OFTEN HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VAN AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ALWAYS BUCKLED IN, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WONDER WHETHER OR NOT THE DOORS ARE GOING TO SOMEDAY UNLOCK THEMSELVES. SO FAR IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
IF YOUR NOT THE CORRECT ORGANIZATION TO REPORT THIS TOO, AND YOU KNOW THE CORRECT ORGANIZATION COULD YOU PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THEM? THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK MY 1999 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUT OFF AND CUT RIGHT BACK ON AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CD PLAYER CUT OFF, THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARDS. I WAS NOT GOING EXTREMELY FAST ABOUT 45MILES PER HOUR, ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH NO BUMPS OR VIBRATIONS TO SHAKE SOMETHING LOOSE. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PASSING SOMEONE IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD NO ONE ELSE HAD COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT I SHOULD LET SOMEONE KNOW IN CASE IT WAS A SERIOUS, RE-CALL TYPE OF, PROBLEM

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
