There were no events that led to this incident. Me and my children were driving and the back window exploded. I nearly went into the ditch not knowing what happened because the sound was so frightening loud. When I looked back, my window was shattered. We now have to replace the back window at our own cost. I have heard of other complaints of this type against chrysler and would like to know if there is any recourse? Has anything been done on the other complaints. Please help. *Tr

wires. Tires have been properly maintained, covered, and appear in great shape except for cracks and splitting in rubber. Note 1: trailer is stored and only used 2-3 times a year. Note 2: a check of several rv sites indicates that others have had low mileage problems with these tires. Note 3: big problem with website and reporting. Manufacturers not in list and erroneously reported as unknown. Cannot search or report issue properly. Tire: titan. Trailer: carrilite
I purchased 4 new kuhmo tires size 215 40r17 from a local dealer on september 11, 2004 and less than 1 year later, my front 2 tires show tread damage to the point where I can pull the rubber off the tires with my hand. I've also been experiencing a lot of the car shaking and jerking when I am trying to stop the car and the brakes on the car are in good condition. I have traveled less than $12,000 miles on these tires.
Failure is mechanical. Transmission "pops out" of 1st gear randomly when driving. This presents a hazard when negotiating left or right turns and crossing traffic lanes. Mw has issued a technical service bulletin # 23 02 99 stating this may have been a result of incorrect machinging on getrag s5d-250g transmissions installed in e36 type vehicles. They recomend replacing the transmission.*Ak
I have a 1994 mazda 626 6 cyl and I was driving down the highway going to visit some relatives in houston and my o/d light came on and all of a sudden my speed started to decrease from 70 mph. I had to pull on the side of the road and I turned my car off, I waited for about 5 min. Then tried to start it again and it would not start. I had to call my parents to come get me and a tow truck to pick my car up from the side of the road I had a mechanic come and look at it ( my transmission went out). My mazda is sitting in houston waiting to be repaired.*Ak
Noticed low air pressure while doing post-trip inspection, tandem trailer left rear, pulled tire for repair and noticed tire deformed and cracking at sides of bottoms of tread grooves (belt separation in tread?- Tread cupped out and deformed). Tested tire and found slow air leak, tire had air 30 miles prior to parking and trailer load was light. Dot code "a07l mkor htov 297". Tires are replacements for 1994 tires that I lost 2 treads off of and damaged the trailer and almost caused accidents from flying debris on interstate highway.*Ak
Winch tower broke allowing boat to move forward on trailer ~3 feet while under tow. *Ak
Load range (e) steel belt & tread came off as one peace. *Ak (dot number: mdonjhv493 tiresize: lt23585r16)
My 3 yr daughter wrapped the tail end of the strap in the front of the futura car seat arround her neck and almost sufficated. On the car seat the strap adjusment is in the front on the strap themselves. There is the slack from the strap hanging down in front of the child. There is a picture that you can look at to see what I mean. If you look at http:store.Yahoo.Com/dmart/fut20carseat.Html you can click on the picture to enlarge it. There on the side of the strap is the adjustment. Well in the picture it shows the...

"tail" only about a few inches but in real life it is much longer. I even put my 6 yr son in the seat and the "tail" was still at least 12 inches long. I think that this is a major design flaw and needs to be fixed before some child dies from it. I did contact fisher-price about this but they weren't very helpful. I am a very safety conscience person and I have had all my car seats checked. Never in my life did I think that I could have lost my child while riding in her "safe" car seat. Thanks,shea green. *Ak

The problem I had was with the windshield wipers. I received a recall letter from a friend of mine that recalled the windshield wiper system. Recall dated december, 1998, c98043-s, states "certain 1994-96 chevrolet ck pickups, exhibit a condition in which the windshield wiper motors may fail after a year or more of vehicle operation. These failures are the result of cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board near the wiring harness connector. Depending on which solder joints crack or the severity of...

the crack, the windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all. ' My vehicle has the exact same problem and when I took it into the cheve dealership, I was told that my vehicle was not under this recall. My repair was, found open in wiper motor circuit board and crack solder joint on the controller circuit board near the wiring harness connector. I requested the dealership to look up if this problem was covered under the recall. I was informed that my vin number was not under this recall. What I can't answer is why there is a recall on the specific cheve truch I have, the recall is exactly the same problem that I have but my truck is not covered. Due to the severety of this condition, I had the dealership fix the problem that invoiced at $91.40. Thank you for your consideration and time.
I gave my 1994 toyota 4runner a tune up because the back drivers side spark plug wasn't firing. I took it out and it looked like green bubbled stuff had corroded the plug. My friend, who is a mechanic, said it can only be a head gasket malfunction that could cause a plug failure like this. He also said a friend of his talked to a dealer, and he said that a recall on 1994 toyota 4runner sr5 v6 3.0L engines with head gasket problems were in fact true. I would like to know if this is true, because if so, I would like toyota to fix my car.
The head of a piston rod broke, this caused the rod to go through the engine block. Oil spewed out causing a fire on the exaust system.

Item in question is a 1994 model year boat trailer, that according to the vin sticker was built in aug.1993,I purchased the unit as new on 7/28/94,so as you can see by the dates the unit sat in storage for approximately 11 months in the weather before it was sold to me as new.The problem with the unit is that just about every structural weld has rusted thru from the inside and most of the welds have also started to split ,and in addition to this the tongue of the trailer has twisted and collapsed while the unit...

was sitting in my drive way.I believe the rust had close to a year to get started before the trailer was sold to me as new.I believe that the trailer was built with out the factory properly applying any type of primer or preservetive to the interior surfaces of the frame ,on a boat trailer you would think this would be a common practice,and I do not believe that the welds were correctly prepared due to the fact that I have found a piece of the welding wire still attached to the weld under the rust and paint ,and the most severe rust is at the end of the trailer that does not go into the water.I believe that the trailer should last longer than 1 year after the payments. I is my concern as a boater and as a retired member of the u.S.Coast guard that there are not other tracker trailers with this hidden condition on the road,i believe that I was just a few bumps in the road away from a highway disaster.
