UPON INSPECTIONS AT THE TIRE STORE, ALL 4 OF 4 PIRELLI P3000 CINTURATO (P185/65R-14) TIRES ON MY PASSENGER CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, PER THE TIRE TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME A CRACK IN THE RUBBER RUNNING THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SIDEWALLS, NOT FAR FROM THE TREAD AREA. EVENTUALLY, HE SAID THE TREAD WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE IF THE TIRE REMAINED IN SERVICE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT AND REPLACEMENT RECEIPTS. I BELIEVE THE TIRES WERE BEING RETURNED TO THE PIRELLI MANUFACTURER. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY ON FRIDAY 7/06/2001 WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TO HEAR A SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CAR. THE SOUND WORSENED AS WE WENT FASTER. WE WERE DRIVING HOME THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY AND DECIDED TO GET THE SOUND CHECKED OUT AS IT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER EACH DAY. WE MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TREAD WAS COMING LOOSE FROM THE TIRE. THE VERY NEXT MORNING THE TIRE WENT FLAT. WHEN IT WAS REMOVED, THE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF. I CONSIDER OURSELVES FORTUNATE IN LIGHT OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST TO THE EXPLORER OWNERS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED REGARDING THIS TYPE OF TIRE AND IF THERE IS AN AVENUE TO GET THE REMAINING TIRES REPLACED AT THE COST OF THE MANUFACTUER. THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W27J TIRESIZE: P815/65R14)

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDING: BRAKE FAILURE, TRANSMISSION FAILURE - CAUSING IT TO STALL AND START ON OCCASIONS, TIRE BLOWOUTS, THE ELECTRONIC DOORS, WINDOWS AND LOCKS MALFUNCTION, AND AN AIR CONDITIONER THAT DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY CAUSING EXCESSIVE MOLD GROWTH.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
A SOAPY LUBRICANT WAS USED TO INSERT THE CHECK VALVE INTO THE VACUUM HOSE WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TO STICK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF THE BRAKE'S POWER ASSIST RESULTING IN A REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE CHECK VALVE BY WASHING THE VACUUM HOSE WITH HOT WATER.
