| The goodyear tires had to be replaced at 33000 miles. the engine has been making a clicking noise (sounds like a bad lifter)& using aprox. 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. i have had the vehicle in for these problems on at least six different occasions with no satisfaction.the service department informed me that there was nothing wrong with the engine,that the oil consumption is not considered excesive and the clicking is normal . *ak (tiresize: p205/75r14)( dot number: tire size: p205/75r14 ) | |||

| During flat repair, this tire was removed from rim for first time. it was then seen that the bead was damaged, apparently at the time of assembly by plymouth. a call to goodyear indicated that chrysler had done a recall on these exact tires for the exact same reason for the model year earlier. this is your nhtsa campaign id number 97v200000 (mfg campaign #749). my vehicle was assembled 9/8/97, just a few months after the prior model year recall ended. chrysler allowed the dealer to dismount all four remaining tires to inspect for damage. an additional one of those tires also had bead damage. chrysler then refused to pay for replacement tires (or any portion thereof). dealer agreed to sell three new tires (to be used with the undamaged spare which had not been used) at their cost, with no installation charge. it seems that the assembly problem that caused the 1997 model year recall was not fixed completely, and that the same potential hazard may exist in at least some 1998 model year tires.( dot number: tire size: p215 65r15 ) | |||
