GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES Complaints

CRASH CAUSED BY POOR WET TRACTION OF GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES. ACCIDENT WAS PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF LOST LATERAL GRIP AND SLIPPING UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION IN NORMAL DRIVING.

ON FEB. 25, 2018, WE PURCHASED A 2003 KIA SEDONA VAN FROM CITY START AUTO SALES IN PARADISE, CA. ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE SPARE WERE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY 215/70R15. THE TIRES READ MAX. PSI 44, BUT THE VAN SAID TO RUN AT 35 PSI. SO, ONCE A WEEK ON A COOL MORNING (BETWEEN 68-75 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITHOUT IT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN), MY WIFE OR I WOULD MAKE SURE THE TIRES WERE 34-35 PSI. DURING THIS 3 MONTH PERIOD, WE NOTICED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. ON MAY 31, 2018, I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE IN MAGALIA, CA TO CHICO, CA. JUST AS I STARTED TO MERGE ONTO HWY 99 IN CHICO, I HEARD A THUMPING SOUND, THEN A BANG--TWICE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SAW 2 TIRES HAD COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT AND ONE WAS SERIOUSLY SHOWING THE METAL BELT. I HAD TO PAY TO GET A TOW TRUCK OUT AND IMMEDIATELY PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. WE'VE HAD A LITTLE WORK DONE ON THE REAR-LEFT FENDER CONTINUED TO HAVE WEIRD SOUNDS COMING FROM THE LEFT REAR WHERE THE WORST BLOW OUT HAPPENED. I JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO TAKE IT IN YET. I KNOW IT WAS HOTTER IN CHICO THAN AT MY HOME, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY IN THE UPPER 80'S AT THAT TIME. I HAD NO WARNING AND IF IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD'VE BEEN A DISASTER. THE TIRE COMPANY SHOWED US THE SPARE, SAID WE COULD USE IT AS ONE FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT EVEN IT IS SHOWING SOMETHING WRONG TO THE TIRE GUY.

2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID LIMITED TIRE ISSUE!!!! I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE VERY WELL ROTATE MY TIRES SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2007 NEW! I HAVE APPROX. 81000 MILES CURRENTLY AND HAVE JUST PUT MY (4TH) SET OF TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES DON'T LAST THE MILEAGE WARRANTY THAT THE DEALERS PLACE ON THERE TIRES 60-65 K TIRES! I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I CHECKED MY TIRES AND EVERY TIME FOUND THAT MY TIRES ARE GOING BELOW THE TREAD MAX ALLOWED (BALD) AT 19-21K ON THEM ONLY!!! TOYOTA STATED TO ME ON THE FIRST SET OF REPLACEMENTS THAT THEY DON'T WARRANTY TIRES... OKAY THEN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MISENGINEERING SCREW UP ON THE TIRES TO THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, AND SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS TO BLAME. I HAD A 2004 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB 4X4 FOR MY LAST VEHICLE AND HAD 90 K ON IT AND WAS ONLY ON MY 2ND SET THE FIRST SET FINALLY WORE OUT AT 66K SO IF THAT TRUCK CAN GO SO MANY MILES THEN HOW CAN AN HIGHLANDER GET SO LITTLE MILEAGE OUT OF THE SAME WEIGHT RATIO... IT'S OBVIOUSLY A TIRE SIZE MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THE SPECS BEING ALL WRONG FOR THIS VEHICLE. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT TOYOTA PUTS THE SAME TIRES ON OTHER TOYOTA'S FOR THAT YEAR ( RAV 4, SIENNA, CAMRY,AND THE STANDARD HIGHLANDER). OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN ISSUE FROM THE GET GO BECAUSE THE HIGHLANDER HYBRID LIMITED IS A LOT HEAVIER THEN THE OTHER CARS MENTIONED, SO HOW CAN THEY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF TIRE!!! THIS IS A MISTAKE, OVERLOOK, AND OR CRIME. THE AMERICAN CONSUMER SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS AND COMPENSATED FOR THIS ISSUE, AND IF THIS ISSUE WAS KNOWN BY THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE THEN LEGAL ACTION SHOULD BE STARTED !!!! BUT, AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPEN TO CORRECT AND COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER OF THESE VEHICLES THAT I HAVE AND OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE... IF YOU HAD TO BUY 4 SETS OF TIRES ON A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT YOU WOULD COMPLAIN AS WELL!!! TIRES ARE NOT CHEAP!!! ESPECIALLY THE SIZE FOR THIS VEHICLE A 2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID LIMITED. *TR

LEFT REAR TIRE FAILED AND BLEW OUT AT 70MPH. THE GOOD THING IS THE TIRE DEFLATED RAPIDLY WITH NO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ON INSPECTION OF TIRE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INNER SIDE WALL HAD A RECTANGULAR RIP/PATCH FROM THE RIM TO THE TREAD. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS OR OTHER ROAD HAZARDS WHEN THE TIRE FAILED. ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 25000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

I PURCHASED TWO GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON 6/10/11 FROM DUNCAN'S AUTO REPAIR IN LINCOLNTON, NC. YESTERDAY, 8/7/11, I DROVE LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOME TO PICK UP DINNER AND BACK HOME (ALL ON HARD SURFACE ROADS). THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD, I DID NOT RUN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, I HEARD A HISSING NOISE AND FOUND THAT MY TIRE WAS RAPIDLY GOING FLAT. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS SPLIT IN THREE PLACES. HE PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON SO THAT I COULD GO TO DUNCAN'S AUTO REPAIR IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT MORNING. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH PRIOR TO TAKING THE TIRE TO THE SHOP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR SIDEWALL SPLITS IN GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES. I HAVE THREE OTHER GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON MY CAR, ALL LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT GOING ABOVE 55 MPH AND DID NOT HAVE MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER OR WAS FURTHER FROM HOME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHEN SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. UPDATED 10/03/2011 *LN *TR

GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ,ALL 4 TIRES SPLIT ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL,AT 30,000 MILES,ON A 2007 DODGE NITRO.TIRE SIZE 235/65/17. *TT

TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY AND PREMATURELY WITH POSSIBILITY OF UNEXPECTED BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A TURN THE TIRE WOULD TILT 20-30 DEGREES. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS A GOODYEAR AND THE TIRE LINE WAS INTEGRITY, SIZE P225/60R16 WITH DOT# M60X E6DR. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE TIRE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,600.

I INSTALLED 4 GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. ON 5/17/2011 I DROVE IT ON RAIN GROOVED CONCRETE (US 287) AND WHEN IT HIT THE GROOVED PAVEMENT, IT WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHIMMY. THERE WAS A CROSS WIND BUT THE TIRES PERFORMED NORMALLY ON SMOOTH CONCRETE, ASPHALT, AND IN THE SAME CROSS WIND ON E-W AND N-S HIGHWAYS. WHEN I CAME TO THE RAIN GROOVES I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH AND I HAD TO SLOW TO LESS THAN 45 MPH TO HAVE ANY SECURE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING COLUMN HAD COME LOOSE OR THE WHEELS WERE GOING WILDLY. THE CAR LURCHED 1-2 INCHES LATERALLY WHILE ON THE RAIN GROOVED CONCRETE. I HAD TO CHECK A BOX FOR WHICH TIRE POSITION BUT IT WAS AT ALL TIRE POSITIONS THAT THE CAR WAS SHIMMYING. THIS TIRE IS DEFINITELY NOT A SAFE TIRE ON RAIN-GROOVED CONCRETE HIGHWAYS. *TR
