1 Tire problem of the 2002 Mazda Protege 5

Failure Date: 04/10/2012

Tire: firehawk gt bl 205/50r16 87v 50k mile tire. Tread separation with only 13,582 miles on the tire. The vehicle was parked when the tire was observed to be flat. Attempts to inflate failed. Removed tire and noticed two places on the inward side where tread was separating - one spot was just over an inch and the other was just under an inch. Full set (4) originally purchased at firestone complete auto care store, which is where the failed tire was taken the following morning. Tire has since been discontinued and was replaced by a falken ziex 912 bl 205/50r16 87v 40k mile tire. Had other tires inspected for same issues the next day - service representative states the other three tires do not show any signs of the problem. Based on tread depth, warranty covered close to 90% of replacement tire. In the two weeks since, the replacement tire appears to be fine - no observable mis-match issues.

2 Tire problem of the 2002 Mazda Protege 5

Failure Date: 02/05/2008

On January 22, 2008 I brought a Mazda pretege5 year 2002 58,000 miles $ 12,000. 00 from city world 3305 boston road bronx, new york 10469 (718) 655-7000. The sale managers told me this car is excellent for me. ?nice, good and everything so I settle for the Mazda pretege5. ? however, since I brought the car I find myself going to the used automobile dealer every other day because there a problem with the car. During the week I got to sexually harassed, by sales individual, they were touching me. First, sun roof all of a sudden stops working. Brought it to Toyota service in the bronx. They told me two days later they don't have the budgetary parts. I miss my class that weekend because I didn't have a car to get to class. Secondly, the car was getting over heating all of a sudden. I don't know why, I don't even drive much school and work is 10 minutes away from each other. I brought the car because I have a class at dobbs ferry. Thirdly, today February 05, 2008 the car couldn't start next to my job in nereid avenue, so I called them, they told me to call the towing guy I call them. The towing guy told me my tire is flat. My point is I only brought the car for two weeks now. I only drive for two days only in general. Most of the time they have the car in their possession. I am paying insurance for the car, when I don't even drive it. Why that have to happen to me. I m a student trying to get by in school. I am a single woman all alone trying to survive. I don't have anyone to call to generously help me. Can someone please help me? now the car dealer place refuses to do anything. I told them. I cannot drive the car anymore. They refuse to talk to me. They give me a run around. Please, I can't take this anymore I work at night trying to make a decent living. I presently work with the mentally retarded children, and I do not have to come to the car dealer place every other day, because their something wrong with the car, it just not fair.
