“While driving brakes would make squeaking/squealing noises. The problem gets louder when air conditioner is on. Took vehicle to dealership. Mechanic informed owner the auxilliary shaft needed replacing.”
NHTSA complaint #857997, filed 2000-03“This tire separated wrapping around axle and tearing off rear bumper, rendering the vehicle unstable until the rubber tread tire off. The fact wecould stop the vehicle without colliding with other vehicles on interstate 75 was a miracle. This tire had about 60000 miles on it but was above the tread depth limit. Four tires were purchased in 1996 and another of this set was replaced over a year ago for developing an out of round condition. These tires are deadly. ( DOT number: tire size: 21570r14 )”
