ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET CAMRY. THERE WAS AN ODD NOISE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT WAS LATER NOTIFIED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE NOISE WAS DUE TO THE BALL BEARINGS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS $500 PER WHEEL TO REPLACE THE BALL BEARINGS. THE ELECTRIC DOORS AND THE HEATING ELEMENTS ALSO EXHIBITED FAILURES PERIODICALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE TIE ROD FRACTURED ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 30 TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY FIX, SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,779 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. THE VIN IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

TIRES
MADE A TURN IN RAIN GOING APPROX 10 MPH AND CAR SLID. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, HOWEVER IT IS UTTER NONSENSE TO SELL AN AUTOMOBILE IN THE NORTHEAST WITH SUMMER TIRES ONLY AND THEN OFFER ALL WEATHER TIRES AND RIMS AS A $1000.00 AFTER MARKET OPTION. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE BUT LETHAL TO THE DRIVER AND ALL OCCUPANTS. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD BE SELLING THE CAR WITH ALL WEATHER TIRES (SAFETY FIRST) AND THE SUMMER TIRES AS AN OPTION. I FEEL THAT PAYING $45,000.00 FOR A VEHICLE IT SHOULD BE SAFE. I FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE MANY ACCIDENTS TO COME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW "DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE" TO GET THIS INVESTIGATED. I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD RECALL ALL AUTOS WITH THESE SUMMER TIRES AND REPLACE THEM WITH ALL WEATHER OR AT LEAST HAVE THE OWNER SIGH A WAIVER. *TR
