AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR (IN LATE DECEMBER 2004), I NOTICED THAT THE REAR-END TWITCHED (VERY SLIGHT SWINGS TO THE LEFT & RIGHT THAT QUICKLY RE-GRABBED THE ROAD AFTER LOSING TRACTION). THIS OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE ROADS WERE WET OR SLIPPERY, AND I USED IT AS A SIGNAL TO SLOW DOWN. THIS TWITCHING GOT WORSE AS THE TIRES WORE DOWN, AND I HAD REPLACED THE REAR-TIRES 8 MONTHS AGO, AND GOT AN ALIGNMENT AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON MINNESOTA HIGHWAY 77, APPROACHING THE MINNESOTA RIVER BRIDGE (MILE MARKER 7). A RAINSTORM HAD GONE BY EARLIER, SO THE ROAD WAS WET. I HAD SLOWED DOWN, BECAUSE THE CAR'S REAR-END WAS TWITCHING AGAIN, AND IT STOPPED TWITCHING, AND IT WASN'T TWITCHING AROUND WHEN I GOT TO THE BRIDGE. AS I CROSSED THE BRIDGE, THE REAR-END LET GO, AND THE CAR (AND I) CRASHED INTO THE BRIDGES SAFETY MEDIAN, NOSE FIRST. THE CAR DIDN'T DO ANY TWITCHING FOR THE 3 MINUTES PRIOR TO GETTING ONTO THE BRIDGE. AS A RESULT OF THE REAR-END LETTING, THE CAR IS TOTALED, AND I WAS INJURED. *TR

WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 11,295 MILES ON IT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES AS THEY HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE VISCOUS COUPLING WAS REPLACED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS CHANGED PER MY WORK ORDER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE TS BULLETIN 11225. NOW MY CAR HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TIRES AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF AS TO CAUSE TWO SET OF TIRES TO BE WORN BARE AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP WORKED WITH ME ON FIRST SET, THEY ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHETHER THEY WILL HELP WITH THE SECOND SET, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER ITS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT KEEPING THE VEHICLE IF I WILL HAVE TO GET NEW TIRES EVERY 10-20,000 MILES AND THE CAR MANUFACTURER IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE VEHICLES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THE TIRES ARE WEARING DOWN EXCESSIVELY AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. *NM
