GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES Complaints

WE PURCHASED A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND LIVE IN SYRACUSE, NY. WE RECEIVE ABOUT 190" OF SNOW PER YEAR AND THEY PUT GOODYEAR INTEGRITY "ALL SEASON" TIRES ON THIS CAR. WE HAVE SLID THROUGH SEVERAL STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS. THESE TIRES ARE TOUTED AS "ALL-SEASON" BUT WHEN WE CALLED GOODYEAR THEY SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T INTENDED TO BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW. WHEN I ASKED HER IF WINTER WAS A SEASON, SHE SAID YES BUT.....I ASKED HOW MUCH SNOW CAN THESE TIRES DRIVE THROUGH AND STILL PERFORM AND SHE STATED 2-4 INCHES IS THE NORM. BOTTOM LINE...THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AT BEST. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY DON'T EVEN PERFORM WELL IN RAIN. IF YOU HAVE THESE TIRES, CALL AND COMPLAIN TO GOODYEAR IMMEDIATELY. THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUT THESE TIRES ON ANYONE'S CAR. WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH ABS AND AIRBAGS IF THE TIRES CAN'T STOP THE CAR? *NM

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OVER. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAD TWO FLAT TIRES, BOTH HAD PUNCTURES ON THE SIDEWALLS. CONSUMER HAD THIS VEHICLE LESS THEN 2 MONTHS. SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE TIRES RUBBING AGAINST ANYTHING OR RUNNING OVER ANYTHING. CONSUMER READ ON LINE THAT THE TIRES ON VEHICLE WERE NOT MADE FOR A SUV, BUT FOR REGULAR PASSENGER VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. GOODYEAR, INTEGRITY, SIZE P235/70 R16.*AK

TIRE SEPARATION ON GOODYEAR TIRES. DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON FREEWAY DAMAGING THE WHEELWELL AND SCRACHING THE CAR WITH THE FLYING RUBBER. THE OTHER TIRE WAS FLAKING ON NEAR THE TREADS. GOODYEAR IS GOING TO REPLACE TWO REAR TIRES. *AK

GOODYEAR INTEGRITY P215/75R15. SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED (45-55 MPH.) TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON 08/27/2001, AND HAD 36,000 MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE. TIRES WERE WELL MAINTAINED, HAD NO PRIOR DAMAGE, AND TIRE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS PRIOR TO FAILURE. FAILURE WAS SPONTANEOUS AND CATASTROPHIC. T IS IRONIC THAT A TIRE WITH THE BRAND NAME OF "INTEGRITY" SHOULD SPONTANEOUSLY DISINTEGRATE.*AK

THE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES THAT CAME ON MY 2002 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER ARE HORRIBLE. SINCE DAY ONE, I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN WET CONDITIONS LET ALONE ICE AND SNOW. I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAY THE TIRES LOOK FINE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET FROM PEOPLE WHO AGREE.*AK

I PURCHASE A NEW TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AUGUST 2003. HAD A FLAT TIRE 6 SEPTEMBER 2004. WENT TO GET THE TIRE REPAIRED AND THE TIRE DEALER FOUND A PATCH ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. DOT OF THE TIRE IS M65L B3DR 0603. THIS TIRE WAS INSTALLED ON A NEW VEHICLE WITH A PATCH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, MY WIFE'S SAFETY, AND MY GRANDCHILDREN'S SAFETY USING THIS METHODOLOGY. HOW MANY OTHER TIRE THAT I HAVE, HAVE PATCHES. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE ALLOWED. I FEEL IT IS A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN. I AM PURCHASING A TIRE WITHOUT A PATCH BUT DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY OTHER TIRES. *AK

AT AROUND 10.30 AM THE VEHICLE ACURA MDX 04 MODEL WHILE GETTING PAST A RV THE RV STARTED SWAYING AND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL OF THE MDX WAS ON THE LEFT SHOULDER. WHILE GETTING BACK TO THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL AND WNET ACROSS THE ROAD AND HIT A FENCE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED AT MILE MARKER 159 IN SOUTH DAKOTA. AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ONCE WE GOT OFF THE VEHICLE WE OBSERVED THAT THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD SLIPPED OFF THE RIM. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH VSA BUT IT DID NOT SEEM TO HELP AS THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE . THE SPEED AT THE TIME WAS BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH.
