Consumer Description

PICKED UP MY MAZDA FROM HAVING NEW BRAKES INSTALLED TO TAKE BOAT OUT ON MEMORIAL WEEKEND. LUCKILY I WAS TOWING MY BOAT AS THE DRAG SLOWED ME FROM GOING ANY FASTER AS I APPROACHED THE ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE I-69 AND MY ACCELERATION WASN'T UNDER MY CONTROL. I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME FROM FIRESTONE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE POOR DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE. I HAVE LEARNED THIS WEEK THAT THERE IS A PETITION 49 CFR PART 552;557 ON THIS MATTER. I AM BOTHERED THAT STEPS WERE NOT TAKEN TO NOTIFY CURRENT OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDANGERED MY LIFE. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I MENTIONED AND I WASN'T YET ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS OCCURRED!! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITHIN THE RECALL TIME FRAME OF MY AGING, BUT STILL RELIABLE TRIBBY! *TR
