GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH FOUR GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA TIRES. TWO OF WHICH HAD SIDEWALL CRACKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PUT IN A REQUEST TO GOODYEAR REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND WAS DENIED REIMBURSEMENT/REPLACEMENT. I NOW HAVE A THIRD TIRE THAT HAS GONE FLAT DUE TO SIDEWALL CRACKING. GOODYEAR IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT OR ITS DANGER. I SIMPLY AM ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT AS THESE TIRES ARE FAR FROM WORN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1989 CHEVROLET CAPRICE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED FOUR TIRES FROM A GOODYEAR TIRE COMPANY. THE TIRES HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. THE TIRE BRAND IS GOODYEAR INTEGRITY, SIZE P215/75R15, AND THE DOT# IS MDHF1MHR. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE TIRES FOR A NEW SET; HOWEVER, THE NEW TIRES HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AS MUCH AS THE FIRST SET OF TIRES. A GOODYEAR TIRE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT HIM; HOWEVER, HE HAS NOT RECEIVED A CALL. A TECHNICIAN DROVE THE VEHICLE, OBSERVED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ASKED THE TIRE DEALER TO ACCEPT THE TIRES IN EXCHANGE FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND AND WAS DENIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I WAS TRAVELING FROM FLAGSTAFF HEADING TO SUN LAKES AZ WHEN MY TRAILER HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT. I HAVE A 2010 KEYSTONE MONTANA 5TH WHEEL PURCHASED MAY 2009. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE IN ALL 4 OF THE TRAILER TIRES THE DAY BEFORE. THEY WERE ALL ABOVE 75 PSI AND LESS THAN 80 PSI (CHECKED THEM COLD). THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROX 1000FT FROM EXIT 293 CORNVILLE RD. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH OR LESS DUE TO "ROAD WORK AHEAD" SIGNS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. *TR

ON 12-22-07 I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR 45,000 MILE TIRES. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AFTER PUTTING APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. ON 6-27-09, MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-20-09, MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-31-09, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS I RARELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE, ALL 3 OF THESE BLOWOUTS WERE NOT ONLY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME, BUT HAPPENED WITHIN 1000 MILES. I DID NOT KEEP THE FIRST 2 DAMAGED TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A RUN OF BAD LUCK. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT, I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO I SAVED NOT ONLY THE THIRD BLOWN TIRE, BUT ALSO THE ONE "GOOD" TIRE THAT HADN'T EXPLODED YET. **ON YOUR FORMS I CANNOT FIND MY EXACT TIRES. THEY ARE GOODYEAR GPS3 SPORT, 1857014. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE R-SA TIRES, SIZE 255/45/R20. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION WHEN THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES EXHIBITED SEVERE TREAD SEPARATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE FACILITY FOR INSPECTION. THE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AT THIS TIME. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,536.

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

THE TIRES ON MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA WEAR ON THE INSIDE AND NOT ON THE CENTER OR OUTSIDE. *TR

TIRE MALFORMATION AND TREAD DE LAMINATION ON BOTH FRONT GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA TIRES. THIS TIRE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR FULL REPLACEMENT IN 2006. THIS IS URGENT SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTO'S AND COMPLAINT E MAIL THREAD IS AVAILABLE. I HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO DOCUMENT AND TRY TO CALL THIS TO GOODYEAR'S CORP. OFFICE. VEHICLE IS IN NON DRIVABLE CONDITION I NEED TO SEND PHOTOS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ASAP AS THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND BOTH JEEP AND GOODYEAR ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS CONDITION. THIS IS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ISSUED TIRES FROM FACTORY. *TR

MY CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING AROUND 36000 MILES. I HADN'T THOUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT FIRST, THINKING IT WAS MY IMAGINATION AS I HAD THE CAR ONLY 3 YEARS. (2006 KIA SPECTRA5. I PURCHASED IT AT THE END OF NOVEMBER 2006 WITH 7 MILES ON IT.). WELL, 4000 MILES LATER I AM TOLD IT NEEDS THE ENTIRE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL REPLACED. I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL CARS FOR YEARS. THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT ($1300) EVEN THOUGH IT IS 10 YR/100000 MILES AS THEY CONSIDER THE CLUTCH "A WEAR ITEM". I TRIED TO ARGUE WITH THE DEALER THAT IT WASN'T WEAR AFTER JUST 3 YEARS. I TRIED TO COMPLAIN TO CORPORATE BUT THE NUMBER IS BOGUS (800-333-4541). I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES TWICE IN 3 YEARS. GOOD YEAR EAGLES AND THE BRAKES TWICE. IT IS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. *TR
