Intermittently, when trying to use the turn signal to indicate making a left turn, the turn signal will buzz and the turn signal will not blink for about 5 seconds. The dealer had replaced various components and the same problem occurred. Dealer stated that this was normal operation.

I will need to check further to determine the actual date of the accident. The tire in question suffered tread separation while I was stationed in switzerland with the u.s. Foreign service and driving on the autobahn in germany. The tires were original equipment on the car, which was purchased in the u.s. I drove the car from 1993-1994 in guyana, a tropical country in south america. When I heard about the firestone tire recall due to tread separation, especially after being driven in hot climates, I decided to report my 1995 accident. The blowout caused me to lose control of the car, which veered off the highway and slid into a milepost on the driver's side. The car nearly flipped -- when it struck the milepost it leaned over on two wheels before settling back on four. I have always felt that the tire was defective -- there was no proximate cause for the tread separation -- and I would like to know whether there is any possible connection to the firestone tire problems. I would also appreciate your advising me whether I should contact the manufacturer and demand compensation of any kind. Thank you. (tiresize: p205/75r15)( dot number: tire size: p205/75r15 )
