GOODYEAR RSA TIRES Complaints

ON JULY 8, 2014 (10 DAYS AFTER THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND ONLY THE 4TH TIME I HAD DRIVEN ON THE NEW TIRES) I WAS DRIVING MY SON TO PHYSICAL THERAPY (ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY) ON THE INTERSTATE IN BATON ROUGE, THE CAR WAS FEELING A LIL SHAKY BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD CONDITIONS KNOWING I HAD JUST PURCHASED NEW TIRES. WHEN WE WERE RETURNING HOME MY TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STOPPED TO LOOK AT THE TIRES. I GOT OUT LOOKED FOR A FLAT DID NOT SEE ANY LOW TIRES AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVING HOME. WHEN I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AGAIN AND I STAYED AT A 50 MPH SPEED JUST HOPING TO MAKE IT HOME, AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES THE TIRE BLEW OUT AND STARTED SLAPPING THE SIDE OF MY CAR, I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD AS A PASSENGER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY BUT VERY SCARED AND CONFUSED. AS I EXAMINED THE DAMAGE I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TIRE, IT WAS UNROLLED FROM THE RIM, IT WAS PEELED IN A STRIP. I WAS NOW STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILD IN OVER 100 DEGREE TEMPERATURE. WE RETURNED THE TIRE TO SAMS CLUB WHERE WE PURCHASED IT, THEY ORDERED ME A NEW TIRE AND TOLD US TO CALL GOODYEAR ABOUT THE DAMAGED TIRE, THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE PEEL OFF THE RIM LIKE THAT ONE. WE FILED A CLAIM JUST AS GOOD YEAR ADVISED US TO DO AND SHIPPED THE DAMAGED TIRE. AT THIS POINT I AM DRIVING ON A SPARE TIRE AND HAVE DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I HAD TO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK TO GET 2 QUOTES FOR THE DAMAGE AND I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. THE GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT WAS RUDE AND THE MOST UNHELPFUL PERSON I HAVE EVER SPOKEN WITH! I AM A HARD WORKING MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN WOMAN AND THIS IS THE MOST UNJUST THING I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. I AM MENTALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR A LONG DISTANCE AND NOW I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A DAMAGED CAR. GOODYEAR IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER HAD DEALINGS WITH. PLEASE HELP! *TR

2008 M35 BASE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROADS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR JUMPS, RATTLES AND SLIPS. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY ON UNEVEN OR FREEWAYS WITH THE GROOVES (CALIFORNIA) AT 55 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING IS SO HARSH THAT THE CAR HAS TO SLOW DOWN OR MOVE TO MORE EVEN ROAD. THE ROAD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT UNEVEN FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR. NEW TIRES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT ONLY PARTIALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL EVIDENT. ON RAINY DAYS THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. *TR

2009 TOYOTA COROLLA S. SPECIAL ORDERED AND PURCHASED IN 2008. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP QUICKLY AFTER PURCHASE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STRAIGHT-LINE DRIVEABLITY OF THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WAS MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY CORRECTED LEFT AND RIGHT JUST TO BE KEPT STRAIGHT ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD. MY WIFE AND I BOTH ARE SCARED OF THIS CAR. I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THIS CAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT'S WORSE WHEN THERE'S A CROSS WIND ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THIS CAR. WE WORK ON OPPOSITE SHIFTS AT THE SAME PLACE, IN THE NEXT COUNTY. SO SHE DRIVES IT BACK AND FORTH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND I DO THE SAME THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. IT'S ALMOST ALL ON THE INTERSTATE. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL GETTING THIS CAR DOWN THE ROAD. SO, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COMPARED IT TO ANOTHER COROLLA ON THEIR LOT AND THEY DROVE THE SAME. THEY FIXED NOTHING. GAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT WOULD DRIVE LIKE IT DID. SO WE FEEL HELPLESS AND WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND PAYING FOR IT. MY WIFE DRIVES OUR KIDS IN THIS COROLLA AND IT WORRIES ME EVERYTIME THAT SHE'S GOING TO CRASH IT. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS SINCE THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT'S CURRENTLY GOT A LITTLE OVER 21K MILES ON IT AND IT STILL DRIVES LIKE IT DID WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. *TR

SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH INFINITI M35X (JUST ALL WHEEL DRIVES) WITH TRAMLINING. CAR DANGEROUSLY JERKS AS TIRES TRACK INTO HWY GROOVES AND PAVEMENT GROOVES. THE PROBLEM GENERALLY GOES AWAY IF THE GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ARE REPLACED WITH CERTAIN OTHER BRAND TIRES. INFINITI IGNORES ALL REQUESTS TO REPAIR OR ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. IN SOME CASES, LIKE MINE, THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED BUT THAT ONLY SOLVED PART OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS OCCURS EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR
