2001 Tire Pressure Control Redline-Eltek Owner Complaints

WHAT IS "DISTURBING" IS THE FREEWAY CAM PHOTOS OF TIRES FLYING (AT 1:25) WITH STATEMENT ATLANTA'S '11ALIVE' STATION REVIEWED "FEDERAL DATA" TO REPORT TIRES SEPARATING FROM BIG RIGS CAUSE THREE ACCIDENTS A DAY NATIONWIDE. NOW THAT IS SOMETHING FOR THE NTSA... WHAT IS DISAPPOINTING IS THAT GEORGIA STATE PATROL CAPT. JAMES STEEN {REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL TRUCK SCALE OFFICERS?} APPARENTLY HAS NO IDEA WHY LUG NUTS SEPARATE RELEASING TIRES TO FLY AND KILL THREE TIMES A DAY. MY GUESS TRUCK INSPECTIONS DON'T MEASURE AMOUNT OF LUG STUD STRETCH. OBVIOUSLY THE NEED FOR OOIDA'S PAUL ABELSON TO HIT THE ROAD FOR A ROUND OF EDUCATING. TIM HO ...

I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO, THE TIRE PRESSURE LOW SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, IF MY CAR WERE A IMPALA GM WOULD FIX IT BUT SINCE IT IS A DISCONTINUED MODEL THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION ON THE NET ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH REMOTE START/ LOCK PROBLEM FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A PROBLEM THEY DO NOT HONOR. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, DEALER STATED THIS IS A RECOGNIZED AND COMMON PROBLEM, IF FACT THE DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT HAD RUN OUT OF SENSORS. MADE COMPLAINT TO DEALER MANAGEMENT WHO STATED THAT DODGE WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE AS A DEFECT DESPITE NUMEROUS FAILURES AND THAT THE REPAIR COSTS WERE TO BE BORN BY THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 TIRE BLOW OUTS. WHEN I RETURNED THEM TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A VALVE STEM FAILURE. BOTH TIRE WERE RUINED. THE DEALER ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I READ IN CONSUMERS REPORTS THAT TECH INTERNATIONAL OF JOHNSTOWN, OHIO HAS ISSUED TWO RECALLS ON CHINESE MADE VALVE STEMS. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY STEMS WHERE FROM THIS COMPANY- MY TIRE DEALER WOULD ( TIRE FARM- FARMINGDALE, NEW JERSEY) AND I HAD TO BUY TWO MORE TIRES BECAUSE OF THE VALVE STEM FAILURES. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE FAILURES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

ON 5/19/08, ANOTHER EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT IN OUR COMPANY PARKING LOT. I AM A MEMBER OF AARP MOTORING PLAN AND CALLED TO HAVE THE FLAT CHANGED. A COMPANY CALLED ROADRUNNER ROAD SERVICE WAS DISPATCHED. THE EMPLOYEE, RAHEEM, FROM ROADRUNNER ROAD SERVICE TOLD ME THAT FOR AN ADDITION $20, HE COULD PLUG THE TIRE, REINFLATE IT AND PUT IT BACK ON THE CAR. I WENT BACK INTO MY PLANT TO GET THE ADDITION MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND DID NOT SEE HIM PLACE THE TIRE BACK ON THE CAR. EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE WITH THE TIRE WHEN I PAID HIM THE ADDITION MONIES. WHEN I LEFT AT THE END OF THE DAY, APPROX. 3 HOURS LATER, THE TIRE WAS STILL INFLATED AND APPEARED NORMAL. AS I WAS DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE THE TIRE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FLAT AGAIN. I PULLED OVER BUT THE TIRE STILL LOOKED INFLATED AND NORMAL. I THOUGHT THAT THE PLUG JUST NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN ON. IT CONTINUED TO MAKE THE HORRIBLE NOISE AND SHAKING SO I TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE. ONE OF THE MECHANICS TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. HE GOT MY TIRE IRON OUT OF MY TRUCK AND TIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS. HE STATED THAT THE PERSON WHO PUT MY TIRE BACK ONTO THE CAR FORGOT TO TIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS AND THE TIRE WAS READY TO FALL OFF. HE ALSO STATED I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED ROADRUNNER ROAD SERVICE, 918-443-2054 OR 215-949-9727, IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT DAY, 5/20/08, AND SPOKE TO A KIM. SHE TOOK MY COMPLAINT AND TOLD ME HER MANAGER WOULD CALL ME BACK IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE CALLED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 8 DAYS AND GET THE SAME ANSWER, "MY MANAGER HAS YOUR NUMBER AND WILL CALL YOU BACK. SHE EVEN GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR THE REPAIRMAN, RAHEEM, 610-202-6389 AND HE WAS RUDE AND REFUSED TO ADDRESS MY COMPLAINT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OVER SIMPLE NEGLECT. I EXPECT SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $20, I STILL HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER SERVICE FACILITY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

CONSUMER STATES SHE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND NOTICED THAT HER TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD A BULGE IN IT, THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL. SHE ALSO STATES SHE NOW IS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE NOW DRIVING HER CAR BECAUSE SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. SHE HAS CONTINENTAL TIRE ON HER CAR, BUT DOES NOT KNOW THE SIZE. SHE ALSO STATES SHE RARELY DRIVES HER AUTO, SO THERE IS NOT A LOT OF MILES ON THE TIRE, TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF BULGING.
