GOODYEAR TIRES: I PURCHASED A 2002 DODGE DAKOTA IN JUNE, 2002. FROM DAY 1, I HAD TROUBLE STEERING. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALER, I LEARNED TODAY THAT THE GOODYEAR TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. I WAS TOLD TO IMMEDIATELY GET NEW TIRES. THE GOODYEAR DEALER WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NEED. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES. I WENT IMMEDIATELY TO A MICHELIN (SP) DEALER AND PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES. THE MICHELIN FOLKS COULD INSERT A CAR KEY FULLY INSIDE SPLITS THAT WERE IN MY TIRES. I FOUND NEWS REPORTS OF ABC INVESTIGATING GOODYEAR BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT GETTING TO THE PUBLIC, EITHER THROUGH THE MEDIA OR DEALERS. NO INCIDENT BUT ONLY BECAUSE I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. THIS COMPLAINT IS SENT IN HOPES THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL START. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE FROM A "BAD BATCH". HOW MANY TIRES ARE IN A BATCH AND WHERE ARE THE OTHER TIRES? PLEASE RESPOND AND LET ME KNOW THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO TAKE. I WAS MOST FORTUNATE BECAUSE I DRIVE 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE-10 DAILY. THE OIL CHANGE MAY HAVE PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT AND PERHAPS MY LIFE. RESPECTFULLY, PATRICIA HUNTER

THIS COULD CAUSE A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION, WHICH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE HEARD BY THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE UPPER BALL JOINT MAY ALLOW IT TO SEPARATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINTS. THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON DECEMBER 21, 2004. OWNERS CAN CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

Oct 10, 2003
ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE HEADLAMP AND DASH WIRING HARNESS MAY BE CHAFED BY THE ACTUATION OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN ABNORMAL OPERATION OF THE WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, HORN OR LIGHTING SYSTEMS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD AFFECT DRIVER VISIBILITY, COULD PREVENT A DRIVER FROM SOUNDING A WARNING BY USING THE HORN, AND, WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE INOPERATIVE, THE DRIVER CANNOT USE THEM TO SIGNAL INTENT TO TURN, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE WIRE HARNESS AND REPAIR THE HARNESS IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 3, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-992-1997.
