THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT ADMINISTRATOR ROSEKIND INDICATED IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS BROKEN. CONSUMER WANTS THE SYSTEM FIXED FOR ALL AMERICANS. NHTSA HAS A DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO INVESTIGATE THE DEATHS DUE TO TIRE MALFUNCTIONS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE REASSURED THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM IS CORRECTED AND AT THIS TIME IT IS NOT.

FAILURE OF TIRES ON 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 TO STOP VEHICLE IN STATED DISTANCE WHEN ROADWAY IS WET. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP TWICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THESE ARE GOODYEAR TIRES.

5 TIRE FAILURES IN 24 MONTHS AND 26833 MILES. 2 WERE "BROKEN TREAD" FAILURES AND 3 WERE FLATS. OF THE FLATS 2 WERE IN THE SAME TIRE WITHIN 1 WEEK WITH NO OBVIOUS NAIL OR OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE TIRE. AS A RESULT I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE FIRST "BROKEN TIRE OCCURRED AT AROUND 7700 MILES, THE SECOND BROKEN TIRE AT 10700 MILES. FLATS OCCURRED AT AROUND 7800 MILES AND 26800 MILES. *TR

TRAVELING FL TURNPIKE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. TYPICAL WEEK-LONG HEAVY RAIN IN MAY WITH STANDING WATER. DODGE RAM 1500 WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20" TIRES. I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH DUE TO RAIN AND STANDING WATER IN A 65 MPH ZONE OF THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE TIRES LOST TRACTION AND I HYDROPLANED. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. BEING A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER OF A FIRE TRUCK I USED PROPER CORRECTIVE TECHNIQUES TO COMPENSATE AND AVOID ROLLOVER AND AVOIDED OTHER VEHICLES. I CRASHED INTO THE RIGHT SAFETY GUARD RAIL. CRASH CAUSED DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER AND BOTH FRONT/REAR 1/4 PANELS. AFTERWARDS I LOOKED UP THE REVIEWS OF THIS TIRE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF INADEQUATE TRACTION DURING WET CONDITIONS AND SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.

TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY, ALL FOUR OF THEM. WE NOTICED THIS AT 20000 MILES!! WE NOTICED NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK AND WHEN THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE TRUCK FOR ROAD INSPECTION THEY SAID IS THE TIRES. AND OF COURSE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE, THAT I HAVE TO GO WITH GOODYEAR CO. AND MAKE A CLAIM. WE USED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK ONLY! WE DO NOT TAKE THE TRUCK OFF ROAD OR EVEN TO OUR NEIGHBOR COUNTRY (MEXICO) BECAUSE OF ROAD CONDITIONS THERE.THE TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AND MAKE THIS TERRIBLE NOISE WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ? WE TAKE THE TRUCK EVERY 3000 MILES FOR OIL CHANGE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WILL RECOMMEND TIRE ROTATION AT 6000 MILES OR SO, WE DO AS THEY RECOMMEND, BUT NOW, NO ONE IS HELPING OUT! HOW COME THEY DID NOT NOTICE THIS EARLY WEAR IN OUR TIRES?. *TR

MY TIRES ON MY TRUCK ARE WEARING EXTREMELY UNEVENLY EVEN WITH CONSTANT TIRE ROTATIONS. GOOD YEAR TELLS ME IT IS AN ISSUE WITH DODGE, DODGE TELLS ME IT IS WITHIN GOODYEAR. THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 31,258 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE BEEN SHOWING EXCESSIVE WEAR. I ONLY DRIVE THE TRUCK TO & FROM WORK, DO NOT TAKE IT OFF ROADING WHICH WOULD WEAR THE TIRES EVEN MORE. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY GOODYEAR NOT TO TAKE THE TRUCK FOR LONG DRIVES IN THE RAIN OR UP TO THE SNOW WHEN IT STARTS TO SNOW HERE. AFTER DODGE LOOKED AT THEM THEY REFERRED ME TO GOODYEAR SAYING THE ONLY THING THEY CAN THINK OF IS THE TRUCK HAS ALOT OF ITS POWER ON THE RIGHT SIDE, ANOTHER EXCUSE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT RIGHT AROUND THE 30,000 MILE MARK IS WHEN ALOT OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHER FAMILIES ON THE ROAD. IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN WHO WOULD BE AT FAULT ? OH YES THE DRIVER, NOT GOODYEAR OR DODGE EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THEM. SO THE ENJOYMENT OF TAKING MY FAMILY TO PLAY IN THE SNOW IS COMPROMISED BECAUSE WHEN THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED BY GOODYEAR THEY FEEL IT IS AN ISSUE. I ASKED HOW MANY MORE MILES MIGHT I HAVE LEFT ON THE TIRES AND WAS INFORMED MAYBE 3,000. NOW I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE ON GOODYEARS WEBSITE AND THE LOWEST MILEAGE FOR THE TIRES THAT I HAVE IS 50,000 MILES FOR A WARRANTY. SO I AM LOSING OUT ON ABOUT 20,000 MILES WORTH OF TIRE TREAD. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO ALL 4 OF THE TIRES WEARING UNEVENLY "CUPPING." *TR

SLID RIGHT BY THE DEALER ON THE SNOW, TIRES LOST ANY AND ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL VEHICLE. SPOKE TO SERVICE WRITE UP GIRL ABOUT IT, AND TALKED TO MY SALESMAN ALSO VOICING MY CONCERNS. TOLD THEM THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY THE WORST TIRES I HAVE EVER DRIVIN ON THE SNOW WITH BAR NONE. SLID INTO MY SONS CAR WHEN I RETURNED HOME.....NOT HAPPY WITH THESE TIRES AT ALL. WHY WOULD THEY MARKET THESE FOR A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE? *TR
