THE CONSUMER NOTICED ALL FOUR GOODYEAR, INVICTA TIRES AT 12000 MILES WERE WORE OUT PREMATURELY. *AK *SCC *JB

THE TREAD SEPARATED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN UNDERINFLATED, OVERLOADED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY.*AK

I PURCHASED NEW 2001 CADILLAC SEVILLE ON DECEMBER 22, 2000. MY CAR RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS. IN FEBRUARY 2001, DEALER CHANGED 13 TIRES TO MATCH 4 TIRES. THEN IN AUGUST ANDF OCTOBER 2001 THEY ORDERED 4 NEW CONTROLLED TIRES, PERFECT TIRES FROM DETROIT FACTORY. VIBRATION CONTINUED. THEN, IN NOV 2001 I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE IN DETROIT, ALSO AREA SERVICE MANAGER. THIS TIME DEALER CHANGED 4 ROTORS, AND INSTALLED 4 NEW HIGH GRADE MICHELIN TIRE. CAR STILL VIBRATES, SOMETIMES YOU FEEL THAT FRONT END WILL COLLAPSE. CADILLAC HAS NO IDEA WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, RIMS, SUSPENSIONS, BRAKES, FRAME. MEANTIME CAR STILL VIBRATES BADLY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225-60)

GOODYEAR, INVICTA, P205/70R15, DOT UNKNOWN, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 1998, OLDSMOBILE, 88 WITH 65000. FROM TIME OF PURCHASE THERE WAS VIBRATION IN VEHICLE. DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO TIRES, AND REPLACED ALL TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2000 WITH SAME BRAND, 20000 MILES ON VEHICLE. VIBRATION PERSISTED, AND IN AUGUST OF 2000, TIRES REPLACED AGAIN WITH SAME BRAND AND MODEL. DURING ROTATION OF TIRES IN AUGUST 2001, MECHANIC SAW ALL 4 TIRES HAD BROKEN BELTS. CONSUMER HAD TIRES REPLACED WITH OTHER BRAND. NO VIBRATION.*AK

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 1998 REGENCY, P205/70R15 SIZE. BELT ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAS SEPARATED, AND THE OTHER THREE TIRES ARE CAPPED. *AK

TWO TIRES BLEW OUT AND THE THIRD WAS CAUGHT JUST BEFORE FAILURE. TREAD SEPARATION WAS EVIDENT ON THE THIRD TIRE. ALL TIRES HAD BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND HAD 67% TREAD REMAINING. TIRE PRESSURE MAINTAINED BETWEEN 30 AND 36 PSI. DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED FAILURE MODE AND REPLACED TIRES IS: ALPINE TIRE CO., 2750 S GLEN AVE, GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO (970)945-6662. THE DEALER WAS GOING TO RETAIN THE TIRES FOR ADJUSTMENT FROM GOODYEAR (TIRESIZE: P215/70R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/70R15 )

I HAVE EXPERIANCED "RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION" OF THE LR TIRE ON MY MINI-VAN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CROSS THE CENTERLINE . I WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER I CAME TO A STOP THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALL 11/2 IN. WIDE BY 3" HIGH. THESE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN ABUSED, ALWAYS PROPERLY INFLATED, NOT OVERLOADED AND PROPERLY ROTATED AND INSPECTED. THE CAUSE (PER GOODYEAR DEALER) WAS PLY SEPERATION WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235-70R15 )

52000 MILES AND I HAVE REPLACED THESE ITEMS: BELT TENSIONER, A/C COMPRESSOR, 3 SETS OF FRONT TIRES (THE TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE-THE TRUCK HAS BEEN ALIGNED EACH TIME THE TIRES WERE REPLACED), 2 SETS OF ROTORS, 2 BRAKE CALIPERS, 4 SETS OF BRAKE PADS, THE STEERING KNUCKLE THAT BROKE INTO THREE (3) PIECES WHILE THE TRUCK WAS GOING 65 MPH, AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE THE TRUCK JUMPS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. ALL OF THESE REPAIR COST HAVE BEEN PAID BY MYSELF. DEALER SAID THERE HAS BEEN NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DODGE DAKOTA I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT21575R15 )
