OR COULD IT BE THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE DIFFERENT FLOOR MATS IN THE VEHICLE BUT IT STILL DOES IT. IT HAPPENS ONCE IN AWHILE. I LET A FRIEND DRIVE IT FOR AWHILE AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM. I TELL PEOPLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME IN MY VEHICLE IT WOULD BE BECAUSE OF NO BRAKES. *TR

COMPLAINT AGAINST COSTCO AUTOMOBILE TIRES: PURCHASED 4 COSTCO TIRES IN 2006. THEY WERE FILLED WITH NITROGEN. NOT TOLD THAT ALL AIR MUST BE NITROGEN AIR PUT IN TIRES. FILLED TIRED WITH REGULAR AIR. MAJOR CAR PROBLEMS WITH SHAKING OF STEERING AND FUMES AND SMELL AND TIRES HOT TO TOUCH. TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT WHEN I PUT IN AIR IN NITROGEN FILLED COSTCO TIRES IT CAUSED A CHEMICAL REACTION. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THANKFUL I WAS LUCKY, BUT WHO WILL BE THE NEXT VICTIM AND WILL THEY BE SO LUCKY? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HOLD COSTCO ACCOUNTABLE FOR FILLING TIRES WITH NITROGEN AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SHOULD FILL WITH AIR AS WITH INDUSTRY STANDARD. *TR
