(1) intense temperature rise of the car motor continuously, the car stopped working frequently, and it spreads a dense gas odor (2) there were two failures as said the car expert literally: "falla jams corregida de ""sistema de navegacin"", aunada a una falla de sistema de inyectores..." the inyectors are referred to which are used for the gas. The consequences of those failures were that the car was totally burnt inside my home`s garage, the car next to was burnt of one side and the motor, and a room of the house was totally burnt (including all the things and furniture were inside). Also, the house was completely smoked and dirt, ruining many objects and decoration stuff (like wallpapers). (3) I reported to manufacturers the failures many many times, but nothing was done by them, they didn't listen to me.

What 1997 Peugeot 405 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was driving down route 60, province of catamarca (northwest of argentina) when suddenly my car lost control. It made a curve to the left, crossed trough the other side of the road and overturned over the shrubs beside the road. I was driving on a straight and in good conditions road. It was a sunny day of an unpeopled area. A bus stopped and carried us to the next hospital two hours far from the accidents place. The car was totaly destroyed. The drivers side rear tire remained inflated but without its entire tread. The tread was found on the road at about 100 meters from the car. I have a police report, a newspaper report of the accident, photographs and an expert inform written by a governmental organism (c.I.t.I.c. Which means +rubber industrys technologycal development and research center; from the I.n.t.I. +national institute of industrial technology;). The informs conclusion says that the tread separated from the rest of the tire because an adhesive manufactured failure. Note: refered to argentinas deficient legal sistem, to goodyears and peugeots dishonesty and knowing, in fact, the danger this means I invite you (the federal safety agency) to investigate offering you every evidence I have. Please contact me by email. (dot number: 12 digits tiresize: 175/65 r14)
