GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE TODAY DUE TO A TIRE VALVE STEM CRACKING AT THE BASE OF MY 2005 SCION XB. *TR

I HAVE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES ON MY 2002 FORD MUSTANG THAT KEEP BLOWING OUT ON THE INSIDE AND SHREDDING THE TIRE. IN 3 YEARS I HAVE PURCHASED 4 TIRES AND HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT LAST NIGHT THAT SHREDS THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. I HAD JUST HAD THIS TIRE CHECKED ON THE 8TH OF APRIL AND THE TIRE WAS FINE. *TR

DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE COMPLETE BLOWOUT 2X IN ONE WEEK... SIDEWALLS LOOK LIKE THE RUBBER WAS WEATHERED AND EXTREMELY CRACKED... *TR

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE INNER TREAD OF THE TIRE SEPARATED AND LOST ALL PRESSURE WITHIN SECONDS. THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 21,000. *TR

BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA ON 12/26/09 WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES. UPON DRIVING HOME MY STEERING WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND/OR HYDROPLANING. TOYOTA REGIONAL REP CAME FROM CORPORATE, LOOKED AT THE STEERING 2 WKS AGO. STEERING IMPROVED UNTIL DRIVING IN RAIN ON 4/4/10 THE STEERING BECAME LOOSE AND THE CAR WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT AND I WAS ONCE AGAIN HYDROPLANING AT 65 MPH GOODYEAR MAN SAID WHEN TRACTION IS LOST TO THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL HYDROPLANE. (THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS) *TR THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ALWAYS STOP IN TIME WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH ABS AND THEY WERE MUCH BETTER AND SAFER. UPDATED IVOQ 03/10/11

LESS THAN A YEAR AGO WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 CADILLAC CTS FROM CADILLAC OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ. I JUST RECENTLY NOTICED A SHIMMY WHILE DRIVING AND DECIDED TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES HAVE A LARGE BUBBLE IN THE OUTER SIDEWALL. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR / EAGLE RS-A P225/55R16 94H. I LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED A LARGE RECALL ON GOODYEAR / EAGLE RS-A TIRES WITH SIDEWALL FAILURE NOTED AND WOULD LIKE TO NOW REPORT THE ISSUE WITH OURS AND SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO HAVE THE TIRES RECALLED AND REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS I AM NOT ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL WE REPLACE THEM. WE HAVE A NEWBORN SON AND GET VERY NERVOUS AT THE THOUGHT OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HADN'T PAID THE CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE MILD SHIMMY AS SOON AS I DID. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU, YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER IS MUCH APPRECIATED. *TR

THE TIRES ON MY MAZDA 3 5 DOOR, WERE WORN OUT BY 17,000 MILES. I BELLEVE THAT TO BE EXCESSIVE! IF THIS KIND OF TIRE WARE, WAS DISCLOSED WHEN I LEASED THE CAR, I WOULD NOT HAVE! *TR

GOODYEAR EAGLE GT TIRE SIDEWALL SPLITTING/TEARING. I PURCHASED FOUR NEW GOODYEAR GT TIRES, SIZE 215/50R-17 FROM RETAILER DISCOUNT TIRE IN CHARLOTTE, NC. ON MARCH 13, 2010 I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONT-TIRE WAS SPLITTING ON THE SIDEWALL. THESE "SPLITS" APPEARED ALONG THE "GOODYEAR" BRAND AREA, AROUND APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE TIRES SIDEWALL AREA. *TR

SINCE DELIVERY ON 11/30/09 THE CAR OVERSTEERS, MOST NOTICEABLE ON HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ON EXIT TURNS. VERY TIRING TO CONTINUOUSLY MICRO-ADJUST SENSITIVE STEERING TO KEEP CAR STRAIGHT. REQUIRES ONLY 1/8 TO 1/4-INCH STEERING WHEEL TURN TO 'WANDER' INTO ADJACENT LANE! ON TURNS, RESULTS IN 'ANGULAR' PATTERN INSTEAD OF SMOOTH CURVE. PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS USED. DANGEROUS. A GLANCE AT THE RADIO AND YOU'RE IN ANOTHER LANE. ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAY STRETCH, PROBLEM RESULTS IN A "SNAKING" DRIVING PATTERN INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT LINE. DEALER DISMISSED ISSUE AS "NORMAL, SPORT-STYLE STEERING, TAKES GETTING USED TO". CAR NOW HAS 3,600 MILES ON IT. SEEMS LIKE TEMPERATURE MAY PLAY A ROLE: ON VERY COLD DAYS, MAY TAKE 15 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING TO BECOME VERY APPARENT. ONLY 1 TIME AT DEALER SO FAR AND REPORTED TO HONDA AMERICA (NATIONAL) WITH THEIR RESPONSE: "WE RELY ON DEALERS AS OUR EYES AND EARS, TAKE BACK TO DEALER". DECIDED TO AVOID THAT FOR NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED. ADDITIONAL DETAIL: THE AUTOMOBILE DOESN'T 'TRACK' THE ROAD WELL, MOST NOTICEABLY ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE IT IS UNUSUALLY DIFFICULT TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND TO DRIVE ALONG CURVES IN A UNIFORM MANNER. THE STEERING REQUIRES ALMOST CONTINUOUS 'MICRO-CORRECTION.' ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 50 TO 60 MPH, THE CAR BEGINS TO DRIFT TO EITHER SIDE. TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL A TINY AMOUNT - SAY, 1/8 TO OF AN INCH - CAUSES THE CAR TO DRIFT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN MORE THAN EXPECTED AND TO THE EXTENT THAT A RAPID 'RE-CORRECTION' (TINY TURN OF THE WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION) IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT IT FROM ENTERING THE ADJACENT LANE. AND THIS, OF COURSE, LEADS TO A 'RE-RE RECORRECTION', AND A 'RE-RE-RE-CORRECTION', ETC. ON THE OFF-RAMP, AT REDUCED SPEED, TRYING TO DRIVE ALONG THE SMOOTH CURVE REQUIRES MICRO-CORRECTION, HOWEVER THE RESULTING DRIVING PATTERN IS A SERIES OF NEAR-STRAIGHT LINES AND SHARP ANGLES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TW

LEXUS RX400H HAS A BRAKE ISSUE. INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT SOMETIME ACCELERATES AND CONTINUOUS BRAKING LEADS IT TO STOP. THE HYBRID TECHNOLOGY FORCES MANY OF US TO CHANGE ALL FOUR COMPANY FITTED ALL FOUR TIRES JUST IN 2 YEARS. VERY DISAPPOINTED BY PAYING PREMIUM FOR PREMIUM BRAND BUT NOT GETTING PREMIUM QUALITY! *TR
