DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BATTERY AND BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. UPON INSPECTION THE CONTACT DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT OCCURRED ON SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS UNDER VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE ALTERNATOR PART NUMBER IS 23001-0S300. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALERSHIP.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY THAT CERTAIN P215/70R14 DOUGLAS ETRA-TRAC A/W IT PRODUCED HAVE EXPERIENCED ADVERSE SERVICE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE LED TO TREAD AREA SEPARATION. IN THERE LETTER I WAS DIRECTED TO GO TO THE NEAREST WAL-MART RETAIL OUTLET TO SEE IF I QUALIFIED FOR THE FREE REPLACEMENT. I QUALIFIED. MY VEHICLE WAS PULLED INTO THE BAY, THE TIRES WERE REPLACE, AND I WAS THEN PRESENTED WITH A BILL OF $118.00 FOR THE NEW TIRES. IT WAS THEN THAT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY PRORATE THE OLD TIRES AND GAVE ME A SMALL DISCOUNT FOR TIRE WARE. MY OLD TIRES SHOWED NO DEFECT AT THE TIME AND I BROUGHT THEM IN AS A PRECAUTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RECALL. HAD I KNOW THAT I WAS GOING TO BE THE VICTIM OF A BAIT AND SWITCH SCHEME TO GET ME TO BUY THE NEW TIRES. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD PULLED THE DEFECTIVE TIRES OFF THE SHELF, SO THEY HAD TO SELL ME A MORE EXPENSIVE BRAND AS A REPLACEMENT. THAT TO ME IS BAIT AND SWITCH. I KNOW HAVE TO MORE EXPENSIVE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE THAN I NEED AND MY FINANCES HAVE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A SET OF SEVENTEEN INCH CENTERLINE RIMS, AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS DIDNT IDENTIFY THE CENTERPIECE WHICH PROTRUDES AND APPLIES PRESSURE TO THE VALVE STEM CAUSING IT TO EVENTUALLY SHEAR OFF AND RAPIDLY FLATTEN MY TIRE. SINCE IM RUNNING LOW PROFILE TIRES WITH THE RIMS IT IS HARD TO IDENTIFY FLAT TIRES UNTIL HITTING SOMETHING THAT FEELS SOLID. IVE HAD TWO SHEAR OFF SO FAR AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS IN TIRES AND WHEEL REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT BUT STILL MORE IS NEEDED TO REMOVE NUMEROUS DENTS THAT EVEN WHEN REPAIRED WONT LOOK LIKE THEY DID BEFORE. IVE CONTACTED CENTERLINE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I MUST PAY TO HAVE THEM SHIPPED TO LOS ANGELES WHERE THEY WILL ALTER THE RIMS. I PAID FOR THESE RIMS WITH THIS FLAW AND CENTERLINE EXPECTED ME TO PAY FOR THEM TO BE FIXED. CENTERLINE MANUFACTURED THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE THE ONES PAYING TO SHIP OR REPLACE THE RIMS. BEING A FULL TIME STUDENT CURRENTLY MONEY IS UNDERSTANDABLY TIGHT, AND MY BELIEVE THIS THAT IF THE RIMS CANT BE SAFELY MANUFACTURED THEY SHOULDNT BE MANUFACTURED AT ALL. MY OCCASIONAL TWO YEAR OLD PASSENGERS SAFETY IS OF UP MOST IMPORTANCE, AND HAVING A BLOW OUT CAN OBVIOUSLY HAVE VERY DANGEROUS RESULTS. CENTERLINE APPARENTLY CARES MORE ABOUT THE MONEY THEN THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FOR THAT REASON IM WARNING POSSIBLE CUSTOMERS OF THE DANGERS SOME CENTERLINE RIMS CAN RESULT IN, AND THEIR LACK OF DOING WHAT IS MORALLY AND ETHICALLY RIGHT BECAUSE OF LOSING A BUCK OR TWO.

I HAVE A 1997 NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK THAT HAS A DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM. WHENEVER I DRIVE THE TRUCK UP ANY HILLS OR ENCOUNTER STRONG HEAD WINDS, THE TRUCK'S ENGINE LOOSES POWER AND SPEED. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. IN 2005 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS CHARGED $450.00 TO REPLACE A PART THAT WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE DETECTED. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK OWNERS WHO ARE DRIVING A VEHICLES THAT HAVE A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT IS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION THAT THE DEALER STATES CANNOT BE DETECTED. *JB
