GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES Complaints

CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING SINCE NEW. NOW 1000 MILES. BEEN TO A CHEVY DEALER(TEAM CHEV IN SMYRNA, TN) THEY HAVE TRIED 3 SETS OF TIRES, ALL DEFECTIVE. THEY BELIEVE THE RIMS ALSO TO BE DEFECTIVE. CAR STILL SHAKES, AND FEELS LOOSE OVER BUMPS. DEALER SAYS HANDS ARE TIED DUE TO VERY POOR CHAIN OF COMMAND TO PROPERLY RESOLVE THIS MATTER QUICKLY, SO MY NEW CAR DRIVES NEW. COMPUTER WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO CHOOSE TIRE SIZE WHICH IS ACTUALLY 225/60-16. *JB

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA PILOT IN DEC 2005. FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES WERE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY. THE VEHICLE DAILY LOOSES TRACTION AND SEVERAL TIMES AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. TRACTION IS BAD ON WET AND DRY CONDITIONS. WHEN CONTACTING HONDA CORPORATE, THEY SAY IT IS THE TIRE AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. GOODYEAR SAYS THAT WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH HONDA. CLASSIC RUNAROUND. HOWEVER, WHEN I REVIEW THE GOODYEAR WEB SITE, IT PROVIDES TIRE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VARIOUS VEHICLE TYPES. WHEN I REVIEW THE HONDA PILOT RECOMMENDATION (WITH AN SUV CLASSIFICATION-WHICH IS APPROPRIATE ACCORDING TO THE HONDA WEB SITE, WHICH LABELS THE PILOT A SUV), THE GOODYEAR WEB SITE DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY. HOWEVER, IT YOU LABEL THE SUV A PASSENGER CAR (WHICH IT IS PATENTLY NOT), THEN THE INTEGRITY COMES UP AS THE RECOMMENDED TIRE. I HAVE ALMOST EXHAUSTED ALL MY OPTIONS AND AM LEFT WITH FRUSTRATION AND CONCERN. MY WIFE OR I WILL IMMANENTLY BE IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT HONDA WILL BE CULPABLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY OFFERING TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE (WHICH IS 2X THE PRICE TO THE INTEGGRITY TIRES-WHICH IS WHY I SUSPECT THEY ARE SELLING THE VEHICLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER INTEGRITY TIRES) FOR THE RECOMMENDED TIRES, HONDA AND GOODYEAR ARE NOT LISTENING. *JB

ON JANUARY 28,2006 WAS DRIVING FROM SAN ANTONIO TO HOUSTON TX DURING A MILD RAIN AS THE RAIN BECAME HEAVIER MY VEHICLE STARTED TO HYDROPLANING. I PULLED TO THE OUTSIDE LANE AND DROVE UNDER 50 MPH; AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES THE RAIN QUIT AND AS THE ROAD DRIED OUT I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED ON THE HOUSTON. WHEN I FOUND A TIRE PLACE OPENED I STOPPED TO SEE IF THEY COULD GIVE ME ANY FEED BACK ON WHY MY CAR WOULD HYDROPLANE. I WAS TOLD I HAD GOOD TREAD BUT THE OUTSIDE SHOULDERS OF THE TIRES WERE CLOSED AND WOULD NOT LET THE ACCESS WATER OUT SO THAT I WAS DRIVING ON WATER AND HAD NO TRACTION ON THE ROAD. IT WASN'T EVEN A HEAVY RAIN I WAS DRIVING IN IF IT HAD OF BEEN A SUDDEN HARD RAIN HOW MAY CARS WOULD HAVE WOUND UP IN AN ACCIDENT. MY TIRES ARE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY LISTED ON MY VEHICLE LABEL AS BSW ALL SEASON TIRES. CHECKING WITH ONE CHRYSLER DEALER ABOUT THE TIRES I WAS INFORMED I NEEDED TO GET WITH THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ANCIRA MOTOR CO AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO TAKE MY TIRE WARRANTY WITH ME TO GOODYEAR WHICH I DID AND THEY TESTED THE TIRES AND SAID THERE WAS NO DEFECTS AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO GROVES IN THE SHOULD OF THE TIRES FOR THE WATER TO LEAVE THE CENTER OF THE TIRE THAT IT JUST MEANT THAT THE WATER MOVED FROM THE CENTER MORE SLOWLY THAN OTHER TIRES NOT THAT THEY WERE NOT ALL SEASON TIRES. THE MANAGER GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR GOODYEAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE SO I WILL CALL THEM MONDAY. TIRES THAT ARE NOT SAFE FOR ANY DRIVING WEATHER SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AS IF THEY ARE. AFTER LEAVING GOODYEAR I DROVE OVER TO ANCIRA AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER LARRY SAID THAT HE COULD TELL ME HOW TO GO ON THE INTERNET AND SEE HOW THE TIRES ON MY CAR WAS RATED BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT GIVE THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION WHEN YOU ARE PURCHASING A VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN 9/05 THAT I DRIVE FOR WORK & HAVE PUT APX 21000 MILES ON TO DATE. I HAVE ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GOODYEAR TIRES (INTEGRITY) DUE TO HOLES IN THE SIDEWALLS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. I MAY NOW HAVE TO REPLACE A FIFTH, I HAVE A TIRE WHICH IS NOW LEAKING AIR & WILL RETURN TO GOODYEAR ON 1/5. I DO DRIVE FOR WORK & I AM CAREFUL, BECAUSE IF I AM NOT WORKING, I AM NOT MAKING ANY MONEY, DOWN TIME IS COSTLY. I FEEL THERE MAY BE A WEAKNESS DEFECT IN THE SIDEWALLS THAT NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION. *JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON A DIRT ROAD AT SLOW SPEED. RIGHT WHEELS GOT IN SOFT DIRT, CAR SKIDDED, SHE BRAKED AND TRIED TO STEER OUT OF SKID. THE CAR TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS, SLID TO ALMOST A STOP, SLOWLY ROLLED ON TO LEFT SIDE, THEN ON ROOF. CAR WAS TOTALED, SHE WAS NOT INJURED. WE AT FIRST ASSUMED ROLLOVER OCCURRED BECAUSE BRAKING DURING SKID CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DIE LOCKING THE FRONT WHEELS CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR ROLLED AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED. ROLL OCCURRED ON FAIRLY LEVEL GROUND. WE LATER INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND BOTH LEFT TIRES FLAT WITH BEADS SEPARATED. IT APPEARS THAT SLIDING SIDEWAYS CAUSED THE BEADS TO BREAK, THE TIRES WENT INSTANTLY FLAT AND THE WHEELS DUG INTO THE DIRT CAUSING THE SLOW 1/2 ROLLOVER. NOTE: TIRES WERE 165/65R15 GOODYEAR INTEGRITY. THIS SIZE WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE FORM. *JB

DODGE MAGNUM SXT 2005. I PURCHASED JUNE 30, 2005. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A VIBRATION COULD BE FELT WHICH SEEMED TO COME FROM THE TIRES. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE ABLE TO REPLACE 1 TIRE THAT SEEMED TO BE THE PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER FOR A ROTATION AND BALANCE AND THEY WERE OUT OF BALANCE ABOUT A 1/4. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO FOUND THE BELT PROTRUDING OUT OF THE INSIDE OF THE REAR LEFT TIRE. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THAT TIRE. WE THEN WERE DIRECTED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER FACILITY TO CHECK OUT THE TIRES FURTHER. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND ONE OF THE TIRES TO HAVE AN "EGG SHAPED" CONDITION WHICH MEANT IT WAS OUT OF SPECIFICATION. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE OTHER TWO TIRES. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 4 NEW TIRES, I STILL FEEL THIS SAME CONDITION. THE MAIN CONCERN ARE THE TIRES. THE FACT THAT I ONLY HAD ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND A BELT BROKE THROUGH THE TIRE CONCERNS ME. GOOD YEAR HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL REGARDING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. NOTES: THE TIRE SIZE SELECTED FROM YOUR DROP DOWN MENU WAS THE ONLY OPTION (175/70R13). THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT TIRE ON MY VEHICLE. THE CORRECT SIZE IS P215/65R17. *NM

2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN...14500 MILES ON VEHICLE ALL TIRES ROTATED ACCORDINGLY. THE SIDEWALL ON ALL FOUR GOOD YEAR TIRES HAVE GIVEN WAY. THE MECHANIC SAID ALL THE TIRES MUST BE REPLACED, AS IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO DIVE THIS VEHICLE. *NM

GOODYEAR-INTEGRITY (P235/60R16) (99S) (025941) TIRES ON 2004 FORD FREESTAR. NOTICED THUMPING NOISE AT 10,000 MILES. SOUNDING LIKE YOU HAVE A FLAT. AT 19,000 TIRES ARE SHOWING OVERLAP OF TREAD. FORD DEALER TOLD US TO ROTATE TIRES. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED PROBLEM. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE TIRES ARE GOING TO SEPARATE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *NM

I HAVE TOYOTA COROLLA 2003. FLETCHER JONES TOYOTA REPLACED ALL TIRES ON DECEMBER 11, 2004 AND INSTALLED NEW GOODYEAR TIRES ON THIS CAR. ON MAY 17, 2005 I DROVE THIS CAR ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES/HOURS AND SUDDENLY LOSTED CONTROL. I REDUCED SPEED, BUT COULD NOT CONTROL CAR AND IT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. THE LEFT REAR TIRE BECAME FLAT. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR (CLAIM #766745). IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOODYEAR, NOTHING WRONG WITH TIRE. IT JUST LOSTED SEAL. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE TIRE. GOODYEAR AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY DIXIELAND (776 SOUTH BLAFF STREET, ST. GEORGE, UT 84770) RESEALED TIRE. TIRE SIZE IS 185-65-R15 AND IT IS NOT IN YOUR LIST.

TIRES SLID DANGEROUSLY AT 35 MPH WHILE BRAKING, WITH 9000 MILES ON TREAD. 2 TIRE VALVES HAVE FAILED & HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH NORMAL PAVED ROAD DRIVING BY 62 YR OLD LADY. *JB
