I WAS GOING TO WORK WITH MY JEEP CHEROKEE 1998 ,I REVERSED FROM MY DRIVE WAY WHEN I CHANGED THE GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED ,CRASHED TO 2 PARKED CARS IN THE NEIGHBOR'S DRIVE WAY MY CAR AND NEIGHBOR'S CAR WAS TOTAL LOSS AND I GOT INJURED DUE TO AIRBAG. *TR
I PURCHASED 4 NEW P225/75R-15 DOMINATOR ALL SEASON COOPER TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE IN JACKSONVILLE FL FOR MY JEEP CHEROKEE. AS I DROVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE TIRE STORE I HEARD A LOUD "ROAR" EACH TIME I REACHED A SPEED ABOVE 40 MPH. BEFORE I COULD RETURN THE CAR TO THE SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE TIRES, I TOTALED IT. I WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER; MY VEHICLE LEFT THE ROADWAY AND IN MY ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL AND BRING IT BACK TO ROAD IT FLIPPED END OVER END. I HAD DRIVEN ON THOSE TIRES LESS THAN 100 MILES. A COMPLETE MECHANICAL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAR AFTER THE COLLISION AND NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS WERE FOUND. *TR
WHEN I HAVE TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEY DON'T WIPE THE GLASS CLEAR. THEY HOP AND SKIP ACCROSS LEAVING BLACK RESIDUE AND SMEAR THE GLASS. THIS OBSTRUCTS MY VISION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AS CONDITION PROGRESSES.THE DEALER HAS OMITTED A ,BUT SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE NEW ASSEMBLY IS MADE BY A NEW COMPANY AND THE SPECS ARE WRONG. THIS IS A GREAT HAZZARD! WHAT CAN I DO?*AK
