GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, A LOW RUMBLING SOUND SUDDENLY HEARD AND IN A BLINK SAW A TIRE ROLLING IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER FLAT TIRE WARNING SIGN CAME UP. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH 10 SECONDS TIME. I TOOK IMMEDIATE EXIT AND PARK ON SIDE AND FOUND A REAR TIRE WAS RIPPED OFF WITH ABOUT 2,3 INCHES LEFT ON WHEEL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 7 MONTHS AGO AND WAS ABOUT 7500 MILES AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, ALL TIRES AND CAR HAVE NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE. AT INCIDENT, TRAFFIC IS LIGHT, CLEAR WEATHER 2 PM, ROAD CONDITION IS GREAT. I TOOK WHEEL WITH RIM OF REMNANT OF TIRE TO NEARBY GOODYEAR DEALER AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT CLAIM WARRANTY WITHOUT THE WHOLE TIRE WITH ME. THE TIRE IS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 235/45/R18. *TR

CORDS IN THERE OF THE FOUR TIRES ON OUR 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA RUPTURED, CAUSING BULGING ON THE INSIDE MARGIN OF THE TIRE FACES. THE BULGING CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE CAR TO SHAKE AT ALL SPEEDS. THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED LONG BEFORE THE END OF THE TREAD LIFE. THE TIRES, WHICH WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THE CAR, WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2, SIZE P225/55R17, DOT# M643 BHDR 2312. CONTINUE USE WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO SUSPENSION AND DRIVE LINE COMPONENTS AND POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE. *TR

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

GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 RUN ON FLAT TIRES (245/40R19) DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLES ON 3 TIRES OVER 9KMILES. NO RIM DAMAGE, NOT EVEN A SCRATCH. I DID NOT HIT ANY MAJOR POTHOLES. THE ONLINE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ALSO CITE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH SIDE WALL BUBBLES.(SEE TIRERACK REVIEWS OF THIS TIRE). THE NHTSA COMPLAINT FORM ONLY ALLOWS FOR 1 COMPLAINT BUT THREE OF MY TIRES FAILED AT SEPARATE TIMES IN THE SAME MANNER. THE 1ST TIRE FAILED AT 6K, SECOND AT 9K AND THE LAST ONE AT 12K. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET IMPALA EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES, SIZE: P225/55R17. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED A BULGE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF HITTING A POTHOLE. THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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 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

I HAD TO REPLACE THREE OF MY TIRES ON MY 2013 KIA FORTE SX. THEY HAD SIDE WALL DAMAGE AND FORMED BUBBLES. THESE TIRES ARE THE WORST. *TR
