Did you call their hotline and file a report? Did you visit a regional office? http://www.nospam/hotline/ Did you search for the tire -- by tire make and model -- on NHTSA's website to see if other problems are being reported? Did you fill out a complaint form at NHTSA? Ford didn't just decide on their own to recall the Firestones. They were told to do it by NHTSA. NHTSA found out about it from complaints filed by consumers. NHTSA tells auto and tires makers to do a recall. Have you been to Tire Rack and checked out tires and read reviews to see if others are having problems with the same tire? http://www.tirerack.com How much research on the car and potential problems did you do before you bought the Saab? Acting like a twit in a newsgroup accomplishes nothing. If you're so concerned about this "major design flaw" why haven't you taken real action? lauraknopsamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
