| 2005 | TIRES | ON DECEMBER 2, 2007 MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW APART. AFTER GETTING TIRE CHANGED I WENT TO WALMART AND BOUGHT A NEW TIRE. ON JULY 22, 2008 THE SAME KIND OF TIRE AGAIN HAD A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE BELT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR VIVA 2 P195/65R15BW VIVA 2. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY TO A PLACE TO HAVE THE TIRE CHANGED BUT HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE EACH TIME. *TR UPDATED 08/27/08 |
| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY | WIFE, DRIVING INTO REGULAR PARKING SPOT @ WORK. SPEED 10 -15 MPH. APPLIED BRAKE AND THE VECHILE "LUNGED"FORWARD. STRIKING THE CURB. DAMAGE APPEARED MINIMAL. BUT WAS QUITE EXTENSIVE UNDERNEATH. BUT THERE WAS QUITE A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE SUBFRAME AND UNDERSIDE OF FRONT, NOT VISABLE EXTERNALLY. CAUSE....WE THINK. A BABY BOTTLE ROLLED FROM THE BACK SEAT AND LODGED UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN THE PT CRUISER, THERE IS A CLEAR PASSAGE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. WE ARE SURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF OUR INCIDENT. I HAVE INSTALLED A HARDBOARD "STOP" UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT TO PREVENT A REOCCURANCE. PASSENGER SIDE HAS A STORAGE DRAWER AND THUS IS NOT A PROBLEM. HAS THERE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAUSE COULD BE AN OBJECT ROLLING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER AREA AND GETTING JAMED UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL? *NM |
