“20 OCTOBER 2015 TO:NHTSASEND VIA WEBSITE RE: COMPLAINT ? FAULTY FALKEN TIRES JUST OVER FOUR MONTHS AGO ON JUNE 2, 2015, I PURCHASED AND HAD INSTALLED TWO FALKEN TIRES, P195/65R14 SINCERA T, FROM WALMART IN COTTONWOOD, ARIZONA. ON OR NEAR OCTOBER 1, 2015 BOTH TIRES BLEW OUT WITHIN TWO DAYS OF ONE ANOTHER AFTER LESS THAN 1000 MILES. THE OUT-OF-STATE REPLACEMENT DEALER CLAIMED THE TIRES WERE FAULTY. PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THIS COMMUNICATION. THANK YOU! *TR”

Seat belts
1 report
“WHEN MY DAUGHTER WENT TO BUCKLE HER SEATBELT IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR, THE BUCKLE WOULDN'T LATCH. I TRIED IT, TOO--THE METAL PIECE SLID INTO THE OTHER PART WITHOUT LATCHING. THEN IT'D LATCH; NEXT TRY IT WOULDN'T. I COULDN'T TRUST THE SEATBELT, SO WE COULDN'T LET THE CHILDREN RIDE IN THAT CAR ANY LONGER. THANKFULLY THE SEATBELT FAILED WHEN WE WERE BUCKLING THE CHILD IN THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY HEADING OUT--AND NOT DURING AN ACCIDENT, OR ON THE WAY HOME. I'M MAD THAT THE SEATBELT COULD FAIL WITHOUT WARNING LIKE THAT. HOW CAN I TRUST THAT THE SEATBELT WILL WORK PROPERLY WHEN IT'S NEEDED???!! I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY CONFIRMED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELT. 11/26 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT MECHANISM UNDER WARRANTY AND CHECKED THE FUNCTION OF THE OTHER SEATBELTS. I'M SATISFIED THAT THEY'VE FIXED IT... BUT STILL CONCERNED IF THE OTHER SEATBELTS WILL FAIL WITHOUT MY KNOWING, AND CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THE OTHER CARS OF MY MAKE/MODEL OUT THERE, WHOSE SEATBELTS MAY HAVE FAILED AND PARENTS DON'T YET KNOW IT. *TR”
