1991 MAZDA NAVAJO

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE SUNROOF OF THE VEHICLE WAS BLOWN OFF BY THE WIND. THE SUNROOF TILTS UP AT THE REAR AND THE DEALER CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW THE ROOF COULD BE LOST. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART, BUT THE CONSUMER'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. *PH

Mileage: 66,000

THE REAR BUMPER SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. *NLM

SHORT IN CONNECTION AT THE FUEL TANK. PLASTIC IS MELTED THROUGH, THERE APPEARS TO BE SCORING ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT THAT WOULD BE INDICATIVE OF SPARK AND OR HIGH HEAT. CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE AND OR EXPLOSION. ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAD OCCOURED DURING A TIME FRAME WHEN WARM TEMPERATURES WOULD HAVE MADE FOR HIGH FUEL VAPOR CONTENT (I.E. IT OCCOURED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER AS OPPOSED TO STRANDING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM AS IT DID)

A SHORT OCCURRED AT THE JUNCTION OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE FUEL TANK. THE SHORT MELTED THE PLASTIC CONNECTION AND BURNED THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY TO THE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF IGNITION INSIDE THE GAS TANK. THIS CLEARLY COULD HAVE LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION OF THE GAS TANK.

THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTH OF OCALA, FL. I WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND MAKING LOUD THUMPING NOISES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TIRES. THE TREAD HAD COME OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE. THE TIRE WAS STILL INFALTED. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION, TALLAHASSEE, FL. THE NEXT DAY, I PURCHASED A NEW FIRESTONE TIRE BUT KEPT THE BLOWN TIRE. I SHOWED IT TO ANOTHER FIRESTONE RETAIL CENTER IN ORLANDO AND THE SALESPERSON SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A CURING DEFECT. WE SUED FIRESTONE AND THEY SETTLED FOR $1200.00. THE CAR IS MY FATHER'S BUT I WAS DRIVING IT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT (850) 838-3508. ASK FOR CRAIG AUBREY.
