What owners report
IN 1997 I PURCHASED TWO KELLY SPRINGFIELD TIRES. ON JUNE 14, 2002 THE TREAD ON ONE OF THEM PEELED OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED IT (WITH SOME ADDITIONAL COST). ON JUNE 23, 2003 THE TREAD ON THE OTHER TIRE PEELED OFF. I REPLACED IT AT A LOCATION SOME 300 MILES FROM HOME BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP THE BAD TIRE. I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A NOTICE OF RECALL ON THESE TIRES, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. GOODYEAR NO LONGER SELLS THIS TIRE. ALSO THE MANUFACTURER, GOODYEAR, WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY REFUND BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE BAD TIRE TO SHOW THEM. I DID HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRE.*AK
TIRE CARRIER RUSTED, CAUSING SPARE TIRE TO FALL OFF UNDER THE VAN, AND BOUNCE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT WERE UNWILLING TO REPAIR PROBLEM. *AK *ML
I HAVE REPLACED THIS ENGINE TWICE AND NOW I AM ON THE THIRD TIME .I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP REPLACE ENGINE IN CARS OR VANS. IT IS MY IMPRESSION THAT THE DODGE COMPANY STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCTS OF EXCELLENT . BUT GUESS I WAS WRONG , I WILL TELL ALL MY FRIEND NOT TO BUY DODGE CARS AND VANS. IF YOU CAN HELP ME PLEASE LET ME KNOW . THANK YOU
DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE WIHTOUT ANY WARNING, CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO FALL BACKWARDS AND LOSE CONTROL WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.
IN EXTREME COLD CONDITION VEHICLE SLOWED TO 25 MPH AND WOULD GO NO FASTER. MANUFACTURER SAID THE GAS LINE WAS FREEZING NEAR THE CARBORATOR DUE TO CONDENSATION AND FREEZING, KNOWN PROBLEM AND A FIX IS AVAILABLE. DEALER WOULD NOT PAY FOR FIX, SAYING IT WAS NOT A SAFTEY ISSUE THEREFORE NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. IF THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS IN EXTREME COLD WHERE A BREAKDOWN OR COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE ENGINE WOULD OCCUR, PEOPLE COULD FREEZE TO DEATH DUE TO WALKING FOR HELP OR STAYING IN CAR WITH NO SOURCE OF HEAT. ALSO, TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS OR INTERSTATE AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 25 MPH TO GET TO A PLACE FOR HELP (ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST) IS VERY DANGEROUS. PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM
