Complaint Description: i had two tires blow out on me on the way home from north hollywood on 9/19/01. my car is presently at a repair shop, so i don't know the name of the tires. also my thermostat went out on me and my radiator had to be flushed. my engine through a rod or is about to. i'v had problems startin up my vehicle, because the battery keeps moving and has no battery box or post to keep it stablized. i've only had the car 6 months, we just bought it. we got it checked out by winston tires in barstow before we bought it and only minor problems show up. upon winston tires assessment, we bought the suv. also we we not allowed to get a warranty through the dealer, because his loan company wouldn't allow it. instead of letting us know before we drove off with the vehicles, marine corp west wouldn't give us a warranty for this suv. we were already obligated to go through with buying this vehicle without the warranty after we drove off the lot. but it's their fault for not letting us know ahead of time. thank you .
