The gear shifting doesn’t seem to grab properly all the time. It will lurch into gear sometimes and sometime won’t engage in the gear indicated. The indicator lights dimmed and now don’t illuminate so you don’t know what gear you are in. It seems like this is a specific recall to my vehicle but when I enter my vin it says my car is not affected. I hope this can be looked into and repaired under the recall.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF GLASS CAME OFF THE ROOF AND SHATTERED. I HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE AND I AM NOW ASSUMING IT IS RELATED TO THIS SUN ROOF PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. WHAT DO I DO? *TR

WE'VE PUT 21,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES IN 3 YEARS AND HAVE TIRE RUMBLES, VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AND SIDE WALL IS CRACKING AND FLAKING AWAY. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE GOT THE TIRES FROM AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S CAUSING IT. SEEMS TO ME THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING, MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL SUDDENLY BEGAN MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER A SPAN OF ABOUT 1 WEEK BEFORE I SOUGHT A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. THE DAY BEFORE MY VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. AS I DROVE TO WORK ONE MORNING ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK TO THE LEFT. I SLOWLY DROVE, WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, TO THE CLOSEST EXIT AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE JERKED TO THE LEFT CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE GRASSY AREA OF THE EXIT.

THIS MATCHES A PREVIOUS RECALL ID OF 05V055000. *TR
