2001 Chevrolet Pickup

DRIVING AT 60 MPH TRUCK STARTED SWAYING ON ROAD, STOPED AND CHECKED TIRES AND PRESSURE HAD 38 PSI AIRED TIRES TO 42PSI AND PROBLEM CONTUNED. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES RIGHT AFTER THAT. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. IF YOU ARE INTRESTED I STILL HAVE THE TIRES AND YOU CAN HAVE THEM TO TEST . MAYBE THIS WILL SAVE SOMEONES LIFE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VN73 TIRESIZE: 26575/16)

CONSUMER NOTICED A FOUL ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER, CONSUMER ATTRIBUTED THIS TO THE VEHICLE BEING NEW AND THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY, HOWEVER IT HAS NOT, CONSUMER STATES HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF RESPIRATORY AILMENT UNTIL NOW, HE HAS HAD BRONCHITIS, UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION, RHINITIS, SINUSITIS, CHRONIC COUGH, SORE THROAT, AND HEADACHE, CONSUMER BECAME AWARE OF BULLETIN 99-01-39-004 WHICH STATES THAT AN ODOR MAY BE THE RESULT OF MICROBIAL GROWTH ON THE EVAPORATOR CORE, WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR FAN IS TURNED ON, THE MICROBIAL GROWTH MAY RELEASE AN UNPLEASANT, MUSTY ODOR INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THIS BULLETIN DOES NOT COVER HIS VEHICLE YEAR, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REPAIRS BE MADE ON HIS VEHICLE AT NO COST TO HIM. *SLC

I WAS SURPRISED THAT NO WARNING FOR A DOOR AJAR WAS ON OUR NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE THING YET COULD SAVE MANY INJURIES OR LIVES. IT IS VERY HARD TO DETERMINE THAT ALL FOUR DOORS ON A VEHICLE ARE SECURE. I CAN THINK OF MANY INSTANCES THAT A WARNING LIGHT LETTING THE DRIVER KNOW THAT A DOOR IS NOT SHUT TIGHT COULD PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SIMPLE THING TO DO THAT I WAS QUITE SURPRISED WHEN NO WARNING OF A DOOR AJAR WAS NOT ON THIS 4 DOOR VEHICLE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESS AS A REQUIREMENT ON ALL VEHICLES OR AT LEAST 4 DOOR VEHICLES? IS THERE ANY REQUIREMENT FOR WARNING OF SUCH HAZARDS?*AK
