IN JUNE 2009 I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM POWER DODGE OF VALENCIA, CA. AT THE TIME I NEEDED TIRES AND I WAS TOLD THE TIRES THEY WERE SELLING WERE NEW. ON OCTOBER 18, 2010, I HAD A BLOW OUT OF ONE OF THE TIRES ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO GET IT REPLACED AT A TIRE SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE TIRE WAS OVER 3 YEARS OLD, I QUESTIONED THE FACT I JUST PURCHASED THE TIRE ON 6-09 HOWEVER, I WAS SHOWN THE TIRE WAS MANUFACTURED 6-07. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT FOR SAY THE TIRE WAS NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT TIRES HAVE A SHELF LIFE OF 5 YEARS? NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY DID NOT OFFER A REMEDY OTHER THAN BUY ANOTHER. IS THERE NOT A LAW,...

PEPBOYS/DEFINITY DAKOTA H/TP255/65R16, I PURCHASED 4 OF THESE TIRES THROUGH A MEINEKE CAR CARE CENTERON 7/10/10 LOCATED AT 49TH & SPRUCE STREETS IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS THE TIRES WERE ON MY DODGE DAKOTA, THE TIRES WERE SPIN BALANCED 4 TIMES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS DUE TO EXCESSIVE VEHICLE SHAKING IN THE SEAT AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ON 7/26/10, I NOTICED THAT ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE 3 SIDE BELTS APPEARED BROKEN AS THERE WERE INDENTATIONS ON THE SIDE WALLS THAT I HAD NOT OBSERVED PREVIOUSLY. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT TWO OUT OF THE FOUR NEW TIRES HAD BROKEN BELTS. I CALL PEPBOYS CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A PEPBOYS FOR INSPECTION. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PEPBOYS LOCATED AT 41ST & MARKET IN PHILADELPHIA AND WHEN THE SERVICE ATTENDANT INSPECTED THE TIRES, HE...

INCIDENT-2005 DODGE DAKOTA, SEVERE VIBRATIONS IN REAR OF TRUCK. SO FAR DEALER HAS CHANGED 11 GOODYEAR EAGLE LS & 8 WHEELS AND VIBRATION STILL THERE. DEALER ADVISES THAT CANNOT CHANGE BRAND IF TIRES WITHOUT DODGE PERMISSION. AWAITING PERMISSION. THE VIBRATION IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE REAR END OF TRUCK WILL HOP AROUND ON ROUGH OR POORLY MAINTAINED ROADS. I HAVE DRIVEN 5 SEPARATE 2005 DAKOTA'S AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON ALL 5 TRUCKS. DEALER RESPONSE IS THEY ALL DO IT, SO IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. ALSO, SECOND CONCERN IS THE POSITIONING OF THE 2 HEADRESTS IN REAR SEATING AREA AS THEY REDUCE REARWARD VISION BY 25%. IT WOULD REQUIRE A MAJOR DIS-ASSEMBLY OF THE INSIDE BACK OF TRUCK TO REMOVE. THEY ARE NOT NEEDED WHEN THE REAR SEATS ARE REMOVED. *NM
