2002 Coachmen Mirada

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 COACHMEN MIRADA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: CRUISE CONTROL IN 2006. HE STATED THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUED RECALL NUMBER 05S28 FOR THE WIRING HARNESS. SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED, THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED VARIOUS DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO INFORM HIM OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE INSIDE REAR DUAL TIRE BLEW OUT. THE ONLY WARNING WAS SEVERE VIBRATION BEFORE THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. THERE WAS A 72 MONTH WARRANTY ON THE TIRES. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE DAMAGED TIRE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO VIBRATE. *AK UPDATED 1/11/2006 - *NM
