I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO. I BELIEVE THE STEERING IS EITHER GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST CAUSE US TO GET A TICKET FROM DRIFTING IN AND OUT OF OUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. I AM 32 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BOUGHT AND DROVE TONS OF VEHICLES SO I AM NOT AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. I OWN A 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP THAT IS EASIER TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE THAN THIS CAR. BEFORE I WAS READY TO PURCHASE THE CAR I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP THEM DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST PEOPLE JUMPING ON THE TOYOTA RECALL BANDWAGON TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. I ALSO FIGURED IT WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO BUY A TOYOTA AND GET A DEAL BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WHILE TEST DRIVING THE CAR HE SAID " I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. IT PROBABLY WILL JUST TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO." IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. IT IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS ALMOST SO SENSITIVE THAT JUST PUTTING YOUR HANDS WHEEL WILL CAUSE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN DIRECTION. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD IS TO TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL. IF IT IS WINDY THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO CORRECT FOR DIRECTIONAL CHANGES THAT ARE NOT HAPPENING. IT DRIFTS HORRIBLY BAD DURING EVEN SMALL WINDS. I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MY DRIVING HABITS. WE JUST MOVED FROM PALMER ALASKA AND ROUTINELY DROVE A 1990 FORD ESCORT, AND THE 1988 TOYOTA PICKUP IN WINDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR WITH EFFECTS LESS THAN THOSE IN THE 2010 COROLLA. *TR

2007 INFINITI M35 (PREOWNED CERTIFIED) AT 30,000 MILES, WITH STOCK TIRES, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED EXPERIENCING RUMBLING IN THE CAR. WHEN I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, IT BECAME OVERWHELMING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND MY TIRE HAD BEEN RIPPED TO SHREDS (REAR - RIGHT). THE TIRE APPEARED AS IF SOMEONE HAD CUT AROUND MY RIM AND LEFT A TUBULAR PIECE OF RUBBER. CURRENTLY I AM SEEKING MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR ADVICE AND REPAIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. THE CONTACT OWNS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A P225/50R17 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED, CAUSING A BLOWOUT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TRAVEL OVER ANYTHING TO INFLUENCE THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRE HAD 42,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE.

GOODYEAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATION ON 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8: BOTH FRONT TIRES (GY EAGLE RS-A 255 45R20- RUN FLATS) HAVE DELAMINATED LEAVING ME TO LIMP HOME WHEN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY WENT TO ZERO AIR PRESSURE AND THAT'S WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS TIRE (SEE FORUM THREAD: HTTP://WWW.CHEROKEESRT8.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=24831&HIGHLIGHT=GOOD+YEAR+TREAD+SEPARATION) I SAVED THE TIRES AND HAVE PICTURES. I ALSO HAVE ALIGNMENT SPECS SHOWING IT WAS WITHIN GUIDELINES. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE TIRES AT MY EXPENSE WITH ANOTHER BRAND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE VEHICLE HAD FOUR GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES WITH A LINE SIZE OF P205/55R/16 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 30 MPH. A LOCAL MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE ALSO DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,756.

I PURCHASED GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES P225/60R16 THEY NOW HAVE 25,000 MILES ON THEM AND ARE COMPLETELY BALD. SAMS CLUB MEASURED THE TREAD AT 0/32. SAMS OFFERED ME A PRORATED WARRANTY OF $35 PER TIRE, I PAID $73. (OUT THE DOOR $184 FOR 2)THEY WERE SOLD TO ME AS A 50000 MILE TIRE, THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY AND WORE OUT AT HALF THE WARRANTY. ISN'T THIS A FAULTY TIRE? I CAN'T AFFORD NEW TIRES AGAIN AND THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN DURING THE RAINY SEASON. I TRIED TO EMAIL GOODYEAR BUT THE LINK DOES NOT WORK. HUMMM, I BET THEY KNOW THAT. OTHER PEOPLE ON LINE SAID THEY GOT NO WHERE WITH THEM. PLEASE HELP. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRE? I SEE THEY HAVE MANY LOOP HOLES. HOW CAN I GET HELP. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ON THIS SAME TIRE WEARING OUT TOO EARLY. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO CHECK THE BOX THAT THERE WERE DEATHS OR INJURIES SEEN BELOW.
