Tires
2 reports1 crash
“DISCOUNT TIRES PROVIDED ME TIRES WITH A 195/50-15 SIZE, WHEN MY VEHICLE CALLS FOR A 195/55-15 SIZE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT AND MY TIRES KEPT DEFLATING. I FINALLY WENT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET THEM REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES GIVEN TO ME DID NOT MEET MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS. IF THIS OKAY FOR A COMPANY TO PROVIDE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES? ARE THERE ANY RULES AGAINST THIS? *JB”

“I HAD A COMPUTER PROBLEM IN MY CAR (ACURA INTEGRA 2001) AND I WENT TO THE ACURA OF AVON DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE IDLING VALVE. I HAD THE WORK DONE. THEN, I HAD SEVERAL ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS THAT STARTED OCCURRING WITH THE CAR, INCLUDING A FAILED TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAS 49, 515 MILES ON IT.

“I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE CAR JUST STOP RUNNING. HAD IT TOWED TO ARLINGTON ACURA IN PALATINE. 1275 E DUNDEE RD. , PALATINE, IL. (847) 991 9000 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL MAY 31, 2005. THEY HAVE HAD IT ALL NOW THEY TELL ME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SAID SOMETHING BROKE IN THE ENGINE THAT'S WHY IT STOPPED RUNNING. I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT BUT THEY KEEP SAYING THEY WILL NOT. WHY DO THEY PUT A WARRANTY ON A CAR IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STAND BEHIND IT. I NEED YOU HELP TO GET IT FIXED. THANK YOU. *PH *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768325”

ACURA SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR ALTHOUGH THEY ADMIT THAT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.*AK”
