1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2006

After purchasing a Nissan Sentra gxe 2002 -- about 1 month later the service engine light came on and I had to pay almost 300 dollars to replace the radiator thermostat--of course this repair and the next was not covered by the warranty that I purchased--after 5 months both engine belts had to be replaced--another 175 bucks. Now I hear a suspicious creaking from the rear end--I can't wait to find out what that is. Oh--I almost forgot--one day after taking the car home I had to repair a rear tire and the paint is peeling and fading.

I am writing to your department with respect to the firestone tire recall. From what I gather the recall has been expanded to include other models of firestone tires not originally included in the initial recall. Therefore, I wanted to provide you with the following information on my situation to determine if I would qualify for recall relief. VIN # 3n1ab51d62l701728, 2002 Nissan Sentra ser, firestone firehawk gta02 tires, p195/55r16 86h and labeled made in mexico. There was no plant number listed on the inside wall of the tire. Please let me know if I have any claims under these circumstances, thanks!.
