GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES Complaints

I OWN A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE DRIVING THE GEARS SEEM TO SLIP WHICH CAUSES THE SLIPPAGE LIGHT TO TURN ON . I'VE TAKEN TO SEVERAL JEEP GARAGES AND I'M TOLD IT'S NOT THE JEEP IT'S THE WAY I DRIVE THE JEEP THAT IS CAUSING THIS SLIPPAGE OF THE TIRES OR THE TRANSMISSION. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB, WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20 TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW-OUT, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. HE COULD NOT CHANGE THE TIRE BECAUSE THE JACK NOR THE WHEEL NUT THAT'S STANDARD, DID NOT COME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,406. UPDATED 12/01/09 *BF UPDATED 12/29/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRE THAT BLEW OUT HAD DRY ROT. THE CONSUMER REALIZED THE ONLY WAY THE SPARE TIRE CAN BE RELEASED FROM THE CABLE IS FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AFTER JACKING IT UP ON THE FRAME, PUSHING THE SPARE TIRE UP TO THE FRAME AND RELEASING THE CABLE FROM THE RIM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SPARE TIRE CABLE LENGTH. UPDATED 12/31/09.*JB ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM CONSUMER. *NJ UPDATED 01/21/10.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 FORD RANGER SPORTS TRUCK FROM AKINS FORD IN APRIL 2006. THE TRUCK HAD GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES ON THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I ROTATED THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE TRUCK AND HAVE EVEN HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACE, REPAIRED AND THEN PUT BACK ON THE TRUCK. I WAS PREPARING FOR A HIGHWAY TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS, SO I WAS HAVING THE TIRES ROTATED WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT ALL 4 FOUR OF THE TIRES WERE DRYROTTING. EACH TIRE HAD EVIDENCE OF THE DRYROTTING ON THE INSIDE (THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM THE RAISED WHITE LETTERING) OF THE TIRE. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REFERRED TO A LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER. THE EXAMINED THE TIRES AND ESTIMATED THAT I HAD 50% WEAR LEFT ON THE TIRES. MY TRUCK HAS 74,000+ MILES ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES. GOODYEAR WAS ONLY WILLING TO PRORATE THE REMAINING WEAR FOR THE COST OF NEW SET OF GOODYEAR. I DID NOT WANT ANOTHER SET OF GOODYEAR SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NEW TIRES THAT WERE DRYROTTED AND SURELY HAD NOT PLANNED TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES AT THIS TIME. MY GREATEST CONCERN WAS MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT AN APPROXIMATED SPEED OF 15MPH ON A FOREST SERVICE ROAD THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, 70 DEGREES F. *TR

PREMATURE TREAD WEAR, CONSTANT LEAKS DUE TO ROCKS, SIDE WALL WEAR EXCESSIVE. I WAS AVOIDING A DEER AND TURNED SHARPLY. THE TIRE CAME SEPARATED FROM THE BEAD CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ROLL OVER CAUSING 7000.00 DOLLARS DAMAGE. THESE TIRES ARE A JOKE AND SHOULD NOT BE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON A 350 HORSE POWER 4X4 TRUCK! *TR

GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P275/60R20 SIDEWALL SPLITS I'VE HAD TO BUY 3 TIRES AT DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO THIS TIRE FAILURE ALL 3 TIRES HAVE SPLITS IN SIDEWALL. VERY EXSPENSIVE TO REPLACE DUE TO THIS CAUSE. JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE COULD BE A REASON FOR THIS FAILURE AND IF IT COULD BE INVESTIGATED. I'M STUCK WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE DUE TO EXSPENSE..LAST SIDEWALL SPLIT OCCURRED ON JULY 30TH, 2009. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR FORD RANGER WHEN A GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT IN 3 SPOTS. SHE HIT NOTHING OR RAN OVER NOTHING. TIRE SIZE IS AS FOLLOWS ( 235/75R15) 105S M + S . *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY FORD F-250 45 MPH AND OVER AND HITTING ANY KIND OF BUMP THE FRONT END SHAKES SEVERELY. THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THE DAMPER WAS REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT HELP. IF THE BUMP AND THE SPEED WAS GREAT ENOUGH IT WOULD CAUSE YOU TO CRASH. THE TRUCK HAS 38,000 MI. AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT FRONT END SPECIALIST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
