I have experienced clanking and front end jumping when making turns in the front end of my 1999 dodge dakota. This was presented, which was adressed by rotating and balancing the front and back tires come to find out it was my upper ball joints in my suspension !!!!!!!! Due to the milage put on my front tires, abnormal wear has occured due to the suspension. I must also replace the damaged tires caused by a dodge defect!!!!!!! I am also suspecting excessive brake wear in the front end due to this.

Unsafe "goodyear wrangler st" tires. This morning in a light drizzle with the road getting wet but not puddled, my son and I while driving with in the speed limit and making a 90 degree turn slid into the opposite lane, luckily no one was coming in that lane. This was the twelfth time that I have slid on a slightly wet road. The first time I was stopping for a red light and I began to fish tail, we went two more blocks to the next red light , put on my brakes and we began to fish tail again. These tires do not have any traction on a wet road, even at a slow speed. I now have 11,000 miles on these tires and from day one they have been unsafe on wet roads, I have had twelve close calls with these tires and I believe it is time for me to file a complaint. Would you please check the history record on these "goodyear wrangler st" tires and see if there are any more complaints. I am 69 years old , driving since I was 16 and never had an accident, and I don't want one now over these tires that have no traction. I think that goodyear should take these five tires back and give me safe tires that have traction on wet roads. These tires were on the brand new dodge dakota pick up truck that I purchased. Thank you, [xxx]. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
