IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE FOUR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE HAD TREAD SEPARATION. MY CAR IS APPROX 1.5 YEARS OLD AND 17000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OCCUR AS I TAKE A 200 MILE TRIP ON THE TURNPIKE. ON EACH OF THREE TRIPS A TIRE HAS GONE BAD, ON THE LAST TRIP TWO TIRES WENT BAD. THE FIRST TIRE I REPLACED ON MY OWN, THE SECOND TIRE I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL AND THEY SENT ME TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THE TIRE DEFECTIVE (TREAD SEPARATION). I WAS OFFERED A PRO-RATA PRICE FOR THE TIRE. CURRENTLY I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL ONCE AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHECK THE TIRES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURANCE AND HAVING THE FOUR TIRES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THIS SHORT TIME FRAME IS UNUSUAL AND DANGEROUS. THE TRIPS I HAVE TAKEN INCLUDE MY WHOLE FAMILY, THIS IS A SERIOULY SAFETY CONCERN.*JB
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE THE PLASTIC TRIM COVER AROUND THE BASE OF THE FRONT SEAT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE TRAPPED BETWEEN THE SHOULDER OF THE RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE BOLT AND THE SEAT PEDESTAL. THIS COULD EVENTUALLY ALLOW THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE BOLT TO LOOSEN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE OCCUPANT SEATED IN THAT LOCATION MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY ATTACHMENT. SOME BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.
