What owners report
NEW TIRES AND VALVE STEMS WERE INSTALLED ON MY CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2007. AFTER ABOUT 8,000 MILES TWO VALVE STEMS HAVE FAILED IN THE COURSE OF TWO WEEKS, ONE ABOUT MAY 7 TH 2009 AND ANOTHER ON MAY 19 2009. FIRST FAILED STEM WAS REPLACED MAY 8TH. AM NO WAITING FOR INFORMATION FROM THE SELLER OF THE STEMS IF THEY WILL COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OTHER THREE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
THE BODY SEAM PUTTY ON AND AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND FIREWALL DRIES OUT, THEN CRACKS, AND ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. AS A RESULT, MY FRONT FLOOR PANS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE ARE RUSTING AS IS MY FIREWALL. MY FRONT CARPET IS MOST ALWAYS WET AND MUSTY SMELLING UNLESS I PULL THE CARPETS BACK AFTER EVERY RAIN TO ALLOW THE INTERIOR MOISTURE TO DRY (THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN OR PARKED IN THE RAIN). *TR
