I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND THE GAS TANK, CHARCOAL CANISTER AND VALVES. I HAVE HAD TO PAY OVER 1,000.00 TO HAVE THESE FIXED TWICE. I HAVE BEEN GETTING VERY SICK DRIVING MY CAR AND DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FUMES COME INTO MY CAR AND ARE VERY HEAVY, ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH AND MY SAFETY AND HAVE ALMOST GONE TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE HAD TO GO ON STEROIDS AND BREATHING MEDICATIONS FOR THE ISSUES. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL OFTEN GET STUCK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU.[XXX]..UPDATED 05/07/15 *BF UPDATED 05/26/15*JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BOUGHT BF GOODRICH TIRES FROM WALMART. 195/55R 84V TRACT TIRES IN JUNE 2006. ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO I WAS CHECKING MY TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND A LARGE BLISTER/BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE WALL. APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 INCHES LONG OBLONG AND ABOUT 3 INCHES WIDTH. I TOOK MY CAR TO WALMART IN RAVENNA OHIO 44266 WHERE I BOUGHT THE TIRES. THEY MEASURED THE TIRE WIDTH AND CHECKED THE CAR MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW TIRES. I ALSO ONLY GOT 24000 MILES ON THE TIRE AND THEY ARE 60,000 MILE TIRES. AT FIRST THE GIRL TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE ORIGINAL TIRE TO REPLACE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR OR SO WHEN HER MANAGER CAME BACK FROM LUNCH, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO INPUT THE INFORMATION FOR ORDERING, THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. WHEN I CALLED BACK SHE MADE ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES. WE CANT ORDER THEM BECAUSE THE MANAGER DIDN'T SEE THE CAR AND HE HAS TO CHECK THE MILES AND TREAD DEPTH. I SAID I HAVE A PRINT OUT OF THAT AND YOU ALREADY DID IT, THEN

I TOOK MY TIBURON INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ONE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MANIFOLD. ON THE PAPER WORK IT WAS CALLED A "EXHAUST RECALL". A CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE MANIFOLD AND THIS WAS REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD BOUGHT MY CAR FROM HAD NOT SENT ME ANY INFO ON THIS RECALL. I STILL HAVE YET TO FIND ANY INFO ON THIS RECALL. WHY IS THIS? *JB
