I have a 2007 mazda cx-7. It is a very beautiful car but also has tons of problems. At 15000 miles it was leaking oil and they replace the engine gaskets. Then later was also leaking oil. Was told by the dealer that it was not. Took it to someone else who said it was leaking from the timing chain. Mazda resealed it. Since then my car doesn't shift properly going up and down hills. My air conditioner is hot and makes a funny sound. My car has loss of power and sound like a diesel. Overall i think that mazda needs to step up and take care of the problems or they will not get many returning customers! something needs to be done! it was a 35000 dollar car!

My right front bridgestone turanza el42 (p205/65r16) tire came off the rim as a whole while driving northbound on the garden state parkway.

While driving on a freeway at approx 65 mph i had a blowout. The tire tread was shredded and separated from the tire, just as in the suv tires that are being recalled by firestone. I brought the tire to a firestone/bridgestone dealer for replacement and they determined that the tire was not defective. They said i had probably run over a nail or piece of glass. I have never before seen a puncture cause a tire to shred the way this one did. In light of the current firestone recall, i urgeyou to force firestone/bridgestone to expand the investigation and scope of this recall. If possible and warranted, i would like to have my tires replaced. At the very least. I would like to be reimbursed for the one tire that i had to replace myself.( dot number: elf1jce498 tire size: p215/60/r1 )
This model bridgestone tire is not currently included in bridgestone/firestone recall, but clearly should be.this tire separated, luckily, at low speed.however, the previous three days, i had driven at 70 mph for 1 to 2 hours on numerous occassions.this company clearly has a problem with their engineering/manufacturing processes at all plants and with all tires.they are clearly putting my safety, my family's safety and the general public's safety at risk.( dot number: em&kdlf178 tire size: 55hr16 )
My wife hadrightt front tire blowout @ 65 miles an hr. I had these tires repaced yesterday 9-13-2000 .i was afraid for her to drive the car with these tires on it . The tire air pressure was maintained per the manufactures specs. The lt rear tire has a broken belt and its a shame i spent my good money for such poor tires with such a rich price tag,that are suppose to have been the best on the market .( dot number: tire size: 185-70-14 )

Severe vibration from the factory installed bridgestone turanza el-42 tires on my new 2004 acura tl. The vehicle has only 1400 miles on it and has been to the dealer four times for the flat-spotting in the tires. I am concerned that these are not safe. Acura of dayton, ohio, acura corporate and bridgestone say they is nothing they can do. Other 2004 acura owners have filed complaints with acura and there are many who have complained on various internet sites including one called tire rack.

I purchase a 2006 honda civic for my wife in oct. 2005 and from the beginning she has complained of a road noise while driving.the noise started out barely audible and has progressively gotten worse with more miles. We brought the car to two honda dealerships before it had 6000 miles on it and they told us that it was just normal tire noise. After more complaining the local dealership said it was our fault, because we did not rotate the tires frequently enough.when i pointed out to them that they balanced and rotated the tires prior to the required period outlined in the vehicle maintenance records the story changed again.the vehicle now has 19000 miles on it and the noise is horrible and the local honda dealership now says the rear two tires have separated belts due to the fact that we must have hit a pothole or road debris.i don't really understand how i could have hit a pothole or road debris with just two tires, because last time i checked the front tires were followed by the rear tires.i have also brought this car to a bridgestone dealer, which is the make of the tires, and he said the tires were cupped due to the car being out of alignment. I then called the customer support line on the tire warranty pamphlet for bridgestone and was informed that this was a vehicle issue.i am concerned that this is becoming a safety issue even though i have been assured that this will not create a problem other than being noisy.i have received no help from honda or bridgestone in this matter other than a bunch of fingerprinting and the offer to sell me new set of tires at a cost of over $600.everyone agrees that the tires have a problem and are the cause of the noise, but nobody wants to admit responsibility for a defective product.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 45 mph, the steering wheel went to the left and the driver pulled the vehicle over on the right side of the road.the driver exited the vehicle and noticed the front driver side tire had blown out.the tire was changed, and not inspected by a mechanic.the driver sustained minor injuries.this was a bridgestone, tire line: turanza el41, size: p195/65r15.
Tread separation while driving.was able to stop before the tire blew out.sears called bridgestone about the defect and they replaced it free of charge, since they knew about the problem with that tire.however, they would not rplace the remaining three tires, which could incurr the same separation and potential blow out.( dot number: tire size: p22560v16 )
