2000 DODGE NEON Tires Problems

BOUGHT 4 GRAND SPIRIT TOURING TIRES SIZE 185/60TR15 ON 6/15/05. BELTS ON TWO OF THESE TIRES SEPARATED. ONE ON 7/21/08 THE SECOND ON 12/19/08. MANUFACTURER OF THESE TIRES IS TBC TIRES. ONE OF THESE TIRES WAS PRORATED AND REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED BY TIRE RETAILER ,TIRE KINGDOM, THAT THE TIRE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. NOW I HAVE A TIRE WITH BELT SEPARATION AND TWO MORE THAT WILL NO DOUBT DO THE SAME. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE PUT $750 INTO REPAIRS AND HAVE ESTIMATES FOR $1000 MORE WORTH OF REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURERS PROBLEMS INCLUDED A REAR MAIN OIL SEAL LEAK, AN OIL PAN GASKET LEAK, AND A DISTRIBUTOR SWITCH LEAK. THERE WAS ALSO A BENT WHEEL, DAMAGED TIRE, AND BAD STARTER. THE DEALER (DICK MORRIS CHEVROLET) WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. *JB

2000 DODGE NEON-I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND USE IT SOLELY FOR COMMUTING TO AND FROM WORK. I AM A CAREFUL DRIVER AND DO NOT ABUSE THIS VEHICLE. *AK DURING THESE 5 YRS I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING WORK ON THIS CAR; REPLACED THE BRAKES TWICE WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YRS REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES OVER 5 YEARS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 70K REPLACED THE RADIATOR AT 70K THE CAR PERFORMS VERY POORLY IN ICE AND SNOW. I HAVE SPUN OUT ON SEVERAL MAJOR HIGHWAYS MERELY DOING LESS THAN 10 MPH IN SNOW/SLUSH. I WAS TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT IT IS THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND POOR DESIGN OF MY VEHICLE THAT THIS HAPPENS. MY TIRES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED/REPLACED WHEN TREAD WAS GETTING LOW. I RECENTLY PAID $400 FOR A SET OF NEW MICHELIN HARMONY TIRES HOPING THAT THE UPCOMING SNOW AND ICE SEASON MAY NOT...

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY MY LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT SPINNING ME OUT OF CONTROL. I HIT A ROAD SIDE SIGN (ONE LEG OF THE SIGN 12" X 24" POST) ON THE LEFT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, CONTINUING DOWN OVER A SMALL INCLINE AND COMING TO REST A FEW YARDS AWAY. MY SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT FAILED TO KEEP ME IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. ALL THIS FAILURES RESULTING IN MY BEING THROWING AROUND INSIDE THE CAR.*AK

MY NEON HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TIRES HAVE SCREECHED SINCE I IBOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS NORMAL IN RAINY WEATHER. WELL THE WEATHER IS NO LONGER RAINY AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME I NEED NEW BRAKES SHOES AND THE ROTORS SHAVED AND THEY EVEN CHARGED ME TO TELL ME THAT. MR

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW TO SEE THAT TIRE WAS GOING FLAT.(GOODYEAR EG EAGLE P185/65R14)*JB

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THERE IS A LOUD HOWLING NOISE, DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS THE FIRESTONE TIRES THAT WERE MAKINF THE NOISE.*AK.*MJ

WHILE DRIVING FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRES LOSE PRESSURE, WHICH CAUSES REAR ABS BRAKES TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. PLEASE ADD ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
