GOODYEAR RSA TIRES Complaints

I OWN A MAZDA 3, PURCHASED 7/08, CAR HAS 20K MILES, THE GOODYEAR TIRES RSA 205-50R-17 NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT IN A PART TO CORRECT A REAR CAMBER ISSUE, THE DEFECT CAUSED THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY AND HAVE VERY LOW TREAD LIFE. THE DEALERSHIP AND ZONE OFFICE WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART BUT I AM HAVING DIFFICULTLY HAVING THEM PAY FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY THE DEFECTIVE PART THEREFORE THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE FULL COST OF REPLACEMENT TIRES. I AM WAITING FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALER, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE REAR CAMBER PART ISSUE SINCE GOOD TIRES LEADS TO SAFETY. *TR

FRONT GOOD YEAR TIRES SEPARATING FROM THE BELT. CAR IS IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT CHECKED BY DEALER. HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL AT AROUND 20K MILES. DEALER FAILING TO WARRANTY THEM CLAIMING THAT ITS NORMAL ON THESE TRUCKS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION??? NOT MY PROBLEM! DO NOT PLAN ON SPENDING $460 DOLLARS PER TIRE EVERY 20K MILES. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF 4 MY VALVE STEMS BECAUSE THE THREADING AROUND WERE YOU PUT THE CAP ON TWISTED OFF WHILE I WAS PUTTING AIR IN MY TIRE. WHILE REMOVING THE CAP THE STEM HAD SNAPPED RIGHT AT THE THREAD. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 180 MILES AWAY FROM MY RESIDENCE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS THREE STATES AWAY. HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHILE NOT NEAR YOU HOME IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND WAS VERY FRUSTRATING. ON THE SECOND TIME I WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO HAVE A TIRE PERSON TALK ME OUT OF NOT GETTING IT REPLACED, THREE DAYS LATER OUT OF STATE IT SNAPPED ON ME. WHAT A FREAKING HEADACHE. I STILL THE BROKEN PIECE IN MY CAR AFTER THE GUY FIXED IT FOR ME. WHAT A MESS. *TR

MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRE FLEW APART WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED. THE SIDEWALL CAVED IN. THE TIRE DIDN'T HAVE ANY VISUAL DEFECTS PRIOR TO THE BLOWOUT. TRULY CONCERNED WITH THE OTHER TIRES, SIMPLY VANISHING FROM BENEATH THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE WAS CONGESTED. *TR

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IT FOLLOWS THE GROVES IN THE ROAD, ALSO IN RAIN IT IS HORRIBLE AND UNSAFE. TIRE PRESSER IS AT 33 LBS ON ALL TIRES AND ALL TIRES ARE EVENLY WORN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR RSA, SIZE 245/45/R18 TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT.

I OWN A 2005 AUDI A4 WITH GOODYEAR RS-A 235/45/17 TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN USED FOR UNDER 23,000 MILES AND WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR. AT UNDER 23,000 MILES, THE FRONT TIRES ARE COMPLETELY WORN AND THE REAR TIRES ARE A FEW HUNDRED MILES FROM REACHING THE TREAD LINE. BROUGHT THEM TO GOODYEAR DEALER WHO SAYS THIS IS COMMON AND WOULD NOT OFFER WARRANTY. COMMON FOR TIRES TO WEAR OUT AT 23,000 MILES? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE THAT I BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO WITH 14000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY HAVE 24000 MILES SO I DON'T DRIVE A LOT. IN THOSE 2 YEARS, I'VE HAD STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS,A/C PROBLEMS, TONS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ISSUES(WAS IN SHOP 4 TIMES) AND AT 19000 MILES, A TIRE BLOWOUT AND AGAIN ANOTHER ONE AT 24000 MILES. I SUBMITTED MY PAPERWORK FOR CRACKED SIDEWALLS ON MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ON JULY 1,2007 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE CAR FROM YOU KNOW WHERE. IT JUST HAS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM--I GET ONE THING FIXED AND SOMETHING ELSE SEEMS TO COME UP. *JB
