DRIVING THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH, FLAT AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS. CHUNKS OF RUBBER FLEW IN THE AIR BEHIND ME HITTING UNFORTUNATE MOTOR CYCLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE PULL OVER FROM THE PASSING LANE TO THE SHOULDER. THE OUTER SIDE WALL WAS COMPLETELY GONE WITH THE TREAD AND INNER SIDE WALL IN TACT. I PUT MY SPARE ON AND CONTINUED MY TRIP. THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED 18 MOS AGO. I WILL NOT PUT MY TRUST IN COOPER TIRES AGAIN. *TR

Seat Belts

WE HAVE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEATBELTS ON OUR 1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. AFTER CLOSING THE SEATBELTS, THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO POP OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. (THE FORCE WILL CAUSE THEM TO OPEN.) WHILE NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED, THIS IS ALARMING TO ME BECAUSE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THE PEOPLE IN OUR VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE PROTECTED BY SEATBELTS. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOWER SPEEDS THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE 1994 K2500 4X4 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS ACTIVATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. TO THIS DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT QUITE A FEW CLOSE CALLS. *AK
