GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. BOTH REAR TIRES BEGAN TO CRACK ON THE SIDEWALL. A RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM GOODYEAR, WHEN HE WENT TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THERE WAS NOT A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER. THE TIRES WERE GOODYEAR RS-A SIZE P245/45R18. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 61,237.

I PURCHASED A 'CERTIFIED" BMW 330I IN DECEMBER OF 2006 AND HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, INSTRUMENT CARRIER REPLACED, BOTH PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED, SUNROOF REPAIRED, HEADLINER REPAIRED (IT JUST FELL DOWN ONE DAY). THE CAR WON'T START RIGHT UP, AND WHEN IT DOES IT RUNS REAL HARD AND THE RPM GOES UP SUDDENLY, THE CAR TAKES A MINUTE BEFORE IT WILL EVEN MOVE & THEN IT DOES SO FAST! I HAVE HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER ISN'T SHOWING ANYTHING, SO IT WILL HAVE TO GET WORSE BEFORE THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT. WOW! I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MOS. AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW THEY DETERMINE A CAR TO BE CERTIFIED? IT SURE DOESN'T SEEM AS THOUGH IT WAS CHECKED TOO THOROUGHLY TO ME. AND OH DID I MENTION I HAD TO TAKE IT TO GOODYEAR TODAY FOR DEFECTIVE TIRES, THAT BMW WOULDN'T COVER. THANKS GOODYEAR AT LEAST YOU STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCTS! THIS IS MY 2ND BMW AND MY LAST! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA!!! *TR

NISSAN & GOODYEAR MONOPOLY ON 2004 QUEST TIRES. IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN CONTRACTED WITH GOODYEAR TO PRODUCE AN OEM PROPRIETARY 225/65/16 TIRE THAT ONLY GOODYEAR CARRIES AND ONLY IN ONE STYLE. WHEN REPLACING THE TIRES CONSUMERS HAVE LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO GO WITH THAT TIRE OR GO WITH A NON MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED SIZE LIKE 235/60/16 WHICH COULD CAUSE ISSUES SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER READINGS OFF... AS FAR AS I CAN DETERMINE ONLY NISSAN QUESTS USE THIS 225/65/16 TIRE. TREAD WEAR ON THE GOODYEAR OEM TIRE IS VERY POOR CAUSING AN EARLIER THAN EXPECTED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES. I HAVE FOUND NOKIAN A FINISH TIRE THAT IS SOLD IN THE USA ALSO PRODUCES THIS SIZE TIRE. THE PRICE IS THE SAME BUT THE TIRE IS A MUCH BETTER QUALITY. I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN OR GOODYEAR PRODUCT. *JB
