GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

I WORK IN A TIRE SHOP AND IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE HAD TWO 2013 IMPALA LT'S COME IN WITH PARTIALLY SEPARATED TIRES. BOTH WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2'S, SAME SIZE, AND SAME DOT NUMBER. SEPARATION WAS IDENTICAL ON BOTH VEHICLES.CUSTOMERS REPORTED THAT THEIR TIRE HAD A SLOW LEAK IN BOTH CASES. UPON CHECKING THE TIRE I NOTICED BOTH TIRES HAD UNEVEN WEAR AND WERE SEPARATED ON THE SHOULDER. TIRES WERE BOTH REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE PARTIAL SEPARATION. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2012 IMPALA .2 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT FROM DEALER HAD TIRE GO DOWN FROM BUBBLE ON SIDEWALL. A MONTH LATER SAME THING. HAD BLOW OUT WITH 3 COUPLE DAYS AGO. WENT AND BOUGHT NEW SET AND FOUND OUT 4TH TIRE HAD BUBBLE.NOW I HATE I BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2. HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK K FROM GOODYEAR OR NEW TIRES

MY FRONT LEFT TIRE, WHICH IS A GOODYEAR EAGLE P225/55R17/SL GDY B01 LS-2 95T0, BLEW OUT IN THREE PLACES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE THREAD. THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA LAST OCTOBER. I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED LAST AT JIMMY GRAY CHEVROLET IN SOUTHAVEN, MS 38671. I HAVE ONLY 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I FEEL GOODYEAR OWES ME A NEW TIRE, BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED. IF THEY WOULD PAY ME $140. I WILL BE HAPPY. I WILL SAVE THE TIRE FOR EVIDENCE, IF THEY WISH. *TR

I WAS COMMUTING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY 59 NORTHBOUND JUST SOUTH OF THE GESSNER EXIT AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 FORD FOCUS ZX4 WITH 15 INCH STANDARD ALLOY RIMS. THE LEFT REAR GOODYEAR EAGLE GT TIRE HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. I SAW SMOKE EMERGE FROM THE WHEEL WELL AS I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A STOP ON THE EXIT RAMP AT BISSONNET. I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO CAME OUT TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND UPON REMOVAL WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE TREAD SECTION FROM ONE EDGE OF THE RIM TO THE OTHER HAD COMPLETELY COME OFF AND WAS STUCK IN THE WHEEL WELL, LEAVING THE RIM BARE. THERE WAS LIGHT CRACKING ON THE REST OF THE SET ON THE INNER PART OF THE TIRE NEAR THE RIM. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED ON JUNE 17TH 2011 AT DISCOUNT TIRE AND ONLY HAD 23,000 MILES OF WEAR ON THEM. THEY HAD BEEN REGULARLY ROTATED AND INSPECTED AT DISCOUNT TIRE ON SCHEDULE. THE DOT NUMBER ON THE TIRES IS M7RB K11R 1511. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES ARE NOT UNDER RECALL. MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS INCIDENT. *TR

I BELIEVED THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE FROM A NAIL STUCK IN THE TREAD BUT AFTER OBSERVING IT CLOSER I FOUND THAT THE NAIL DID NOT PENETRATE THE TIRE, THAT MY FLAT WAS CAUSED BY A SPLIT IN THE SIDE WALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 BMW 550X M SPORT ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE IN JULY 2014 WHEN TWO BUBBLES STARTED TO FORM ON THE GOODYEAR LS-2 245/40R19 FRONT LEFT TIRE. GIVEN I ONLY HAD 70 MILES TO MY DESTINATION I CONTINUED AT THE 65 MPH. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, AS I EXITED THE TURNPIKE THE FRONT LEFT TIRE FAILED. LOST ALL PRESSURE. THIS WASN'T EVEN THE TIRE I THOUGHT MIGHT FAIL. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 30 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY ON TWO DANGEROUS TIRES SO I COULD GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO CALL FOR A TOW. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP 70 MILES AWAY. THESE WERE NEWLY REPLACED TIRES WITH ABOUT 5K MILES ON THEM. I'M ATTEMPTING TO GET THE TIRES REPLACED AT NO COST EVEN GIVEN THE UNSAFE TIRE RESULTS BUT IT'S MY ONLY OPTION AT THIS POINT GIVEN MY LOCATION. THE DEALER IS TRYING TO CHARGE FULL PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRES. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
