I bought set of yokohama tires in december 06 from tire kingdom. Soon after installation I had a "flat tire" on trip from florida to new jersey (my home). I found a tire kingdom store in the carolinas, luckily. They replaced the tire valve. In 2 year+ since then I have had at least 4-5-6 flat tires, always the valve, rather than a puncture. I don't know why it took me so long to put 2 and 2 together, but when most recent failure occurred (last week, again valve failure) I did some research and discovered the re-call of dill valves. I called dill to see what kind of compensation I can get. Not much ($ 4.00/per incident !!! ) I don't know what I'm hoping to get. I am upset and disappointed about this, but I guess I'm lucky I didn't have serious accident during these many tire failures. Does the federal safety agency have any comment or recommendations?

I am writing in regards to a 2001 honda accord that I own. I have close to 76,000 miles, and I have always done every recommended service with a local honda dealer here in canandaigua , ny. On june 21, 2007 I took the honda to dealer for a noise in the rear of the car, it turned out to be rear stabilizer joints, both of them were replaced. Not even a week later, I am driving home from a short trip and hear this loud pop like my tire blew up. I had no idea what was happening, the next thing I knew something was scraping the road, and I could see some smoke in the rear view mirror, I somehow stopped the car and my mother and I get out. Fortunately, we weren't killed, a lower ball joint separated and pulled the axle out of the transmission and fluid leaked all over. I never expected this from a honda, especially when I took good care of the car. My next question was the life expectancy of a lower ball joint,was it something that could go or break apart. Also, I would like to know how this could happen with no warning signs. When repairing the car I had the dealer check the other ball joints on the other side, and they noticed some play or movement in them. So they replaced the upper and lower ball joints on the other side. Which was also odd to me that 3 out of 4 ball joints needed replacement at such low mileage. I had the car inspected at the honda dealer in october 2006, and during an inspection I understood that ball joints were to be looked at. If so, how come I was not informed of any rust in the ball joints at that time. How could they possibly have gotten so bad in 8 months time to cause such a catastrophe.

All of the above dates and mileage are approximate. I have the information on paper at home. I have also had the hardest time with honda financial services with them calling me and saying that I never paid my monthly bill (last fall), which I did, and then finally they found the check and said "oh, our mistake, it has been here the whole time." and then now, I have them saying that I was in default of my lease because they never had information for my insurance, which my insurance was supposed to send them that information. I checked back with them a week later (today) and they said that they were going to impound my car because my insurance company never got back with them. Called my insurance company, and it took 5 mins. To have someone fax over proof of insurance. That was all - was it that difficult??? This car had to have the back brakes replaced after 25000 miles (about a month ago - it was making this awful noise, like rattling chains underneath) - that should not have happened. The back window tinting lifted up after 1 year, the tire blew out on the freeway 1 month after getting it (leased the car aug 2001). The service engine light has come on twice, for no apparent reason. And the SRS light was on 2 different times. Had it turned off the 1st time. Then 1 week later it was back on, brought back to my dealership and they said it was something wrong with the computer system, but they could not give me a good enough explanation. When I first was looking for a car at the dealership, this car was not on the lot where all the other cars for sale were, it was in the back, by the service department. Asked the sales rep if the car was in okay condition and he said it was, and there was nothing wrong with it because it only had 10 miles on it - I should have known then. This car is a pain in the behind and it is just a hassle for everything that keeps happening with it.
