Firestone tire: l t225/75r16 m/s, vdil txa 475. Apparent tread seperation similar to recent recall. Motor home has a forh chasis and tires were factory. (claim# 38-j398-640)
While traveling on the road at various speeds diesel engine would stall or shut down. Would have no warning. Been to the dealer. Mechanic noticed raw diesel fluid blowing out. Was told it's normal. The second diesel engine was not normal (5/19/97).
Received recall notice in the mail (#97v209000/97s92). Had called or taken vehicle to 3 different dealerships. Each one refused to do recall repairs due to each repair shop is too small to handle repairs. While driving motorhome it blew up and burned.
There is a noise in the rear end, took vehicle to dealer and replaced ring and pinion gear; the second time, replaced the rear end and third time replaced little, problem continued and dealer said he can't find problem .
