TIRES

MY SON PURCHASED 4 COOPER COBRA G/T BL 39617 195/50SR15 TIRES ON 10/29/03. 2 OUT OF THE FOUR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE EXHIBITED DEFECTS IN MATERIAL/WORKMANSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEFECT WAS CHARACTERIZED AS "BELT SEPARATION" BY PROFESSIONAL TIRE SHOPS WHERE THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST OCCASSION OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TIRE STARTED COMING APART WHILE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AVERAGE 35-40 MPH. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS JULY 2006. IN BOTH CASES THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND COULD NOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE SELLING TIRE SHOP WHICH WAS BIG BRAND TIRE COMAPNY IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA. IN ADDITION TO THE REPLACEMENT COST INCURRED, I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. OUT OF THE 4 TIRES PURCHASED, 50% EXHIBITED THIS DEFECT.

AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

WHILE WAITING IN LINE FOR CAR INSPECTION, HAD THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WITH THE HAND BRAKE ON, I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND SUDDENLY IT LUNGED FORWARD. TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS, BUT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. FINALLY I HIT A GUARD RAIL, BOUNCED OFF A CURB AND HIT A TRUCK AND FINALLY SMASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

(1) I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY 95' ACURA INTEGRA 4 DOOR GSR DIED ON THE HIGHWAY (2)IF I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD START THEN DIE AS I LET THE KEY GO. I FOUND THAT IF I HELD THE KEY CLOSE TO III THEN THE ENGINE WOULD STAY ON. I GOT HOME AND TOOK APART THE IGNITION HARNESS AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SPOT WHERE THE CONTACT POINT WAS PITTED. THAT'S WHEN I FIGURED THE IGNITION HARNESS SWITCHING MECHANISM (BY THE KEY IGNITION CYLINDER) WAS NOT GETTING GOOD CONTACT. (3) I TRIED TO SAND OFF THE PITTED PART AND PUT A LAYER OF SOLDER OVER IT, BUT IT STILL DIES AFTER A WHILE. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. I'M TEMPORARY DOING THIS TILL I CAN AFFORD A NEW IGNITION HARNESS. *JB
