My son purchased 4 cooper cobra g/t bl 39617 195/50sr15 tires on 10/29/03. 2 out of the four tires on the vehicle have exhibited defects in material/workmanship on two separate occasions. The defect was characterized as "belt separation" by professional tire shops where the tires had to be replaced. The first occassion occurred in november 2005. The tire started coming apart while driving on side streets average 35-40 MPH. The second occasion was july 2006. In both cases the tires had to be replaced immediately and could not be brought back to the selling tire shop which was big brand tire comapny in thousand oaks, ca. In addition to the replacement cost incurred, I consider this to be a significant safety hazard. Out of the 4 tires purchased, 50% exhibited this defect.

(1) I was driving home and my 95' acura integra 4 door gsr died on the highway (2)if I tried to start the car, it would start then die as I let the key go. I found that if I held the key close to iii then the engine would stay on. I got home and took apart the ignition harness and noticed that there was a spot where the contact point was pitted. That's when I figured the ignition harness switching mechanism (by the key ignition cylinder) was not getting good contact. (3) I tried to sand off the pitted part and put a layer of solder over it, but it still dies after a while. Then I would have to do it again. I'm temporary doing this till I can afford a new ignition harness.

The plastic component(s) on the radiator broke allowing coolant to exit the coolant system and splash upon the motor and other engine components. The acura dealer (in omaha nebraska; 84th street) was queried about this problem and the service department employee indicated they had replaced three radiators in the previous few weeks. They stated this appeared to be a higher than normal failure rate. The individual provided me acura's regional number and I called to advise them of this problem. The person from acura regional headquarters advised me this was not a problem otherwise they would have taken action previously.
