Owner report 10191695 · 2007-05-24 (May 24, 2007)
DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION WHILE WASHING OUR SEDAN, TIRE AND WHEEL DAMAGE WAS NOTED ON PASSENGER-SIDE: FRONT TIRE HAS A BLISTER AND TWO CUTS WHERE TIRE MEETS WHEEL, WHEEL IS NICKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. REAR TIRE HAS ONE SMALL CUT WHERE TIRE MEETS WHEEL AND WHEEL IS NICKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. NO LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE OCCURRED. THESE LOW PROFILE TIRES APPEAR SUSPECTIBLE TO MINOR IMPACT DAMAGE FROM ROAD POTHOLES. WE CANNOT LOCATE AN IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT TIRE FROM AREA DEALERS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED - A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD HAD OTHER REPORTS, AND THAT IT WAS ABLE TO BE FIXED - HOWEVER IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT (BELOW) HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING UPHILL AND HAD EASED OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME WAS SLOWING DOWN. INSTEAD, THE CAR RESPONDED AS THOUGH I HAD PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. *TR
