Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH PASSENGER'S SIDE MICHELIN TIRE BLEW OUT. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND CALLED ROAD SERVICE, WHICH CAME AND CHANGED THE TIRE. ALSO, CONSUMER CALLED MICHELIN, WHO TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT HE WAS RIDING ON A TIRE WITH THE PRESSURE TOO LOW. SERVICE MAN TOLD CONSUMER THAT RUNNING THESE TIRES WITH THE PRESSURE TOO LOW CAUSES THE SIDE WALL TO WEAKEN, AND THE STEEL BELTS TO BREAK. *AK

MOISTURE BETWEEN INSULATED PIECES OF WINDOW GLASS BECAME INCREASINGLY WORSE UNTIL WE CAN NO LONGER SEE OUR MIRRORS. THIS IS ON A 1999 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ADMIRAL MOTOR HOME. WE TRIED TO DRY THE WINDOW WITH A HAIR DRYER WHICH DID NOT WORK.WE HAD TO REMOVE THE INSULATION SEAL BETWEEN THE PANES TO TRY TO REMOVE THE MOISTURE. THAT HAS LEFT A DRY SURFACE BUT WE CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDOW. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN AND THE PASSENGER HAS TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TO SAFELY MAKE LANE CHANGES OR TURNS. WE CONTACTED HOLIDAY RAMBLER TO GET THE WINDOW MFR. AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD GONE BANKRUPT. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE WINDOWS? IT IS THE FRONT SLIDER WINDOWS.
