“Tire had split from the tread to the firewall on the outside, and had started to separate. We had replaced the tire on 6/17/2000 with a michelin brand because of the fact that firestone had discontinued this tire, the remaining three tires show signs of separation. The tires in question had a three year ,75,000 mile warranty which was not honored. As to the issue of the engine stalling out and clutch not engaging and kicking out of gear. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership on numurous occasions, with the dealership claiming nothing was wrong with the vehicle. …”
