GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

2007 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. CONSUMER STATES THAT GOODYEAR DEALER STATED THE BLOWN TIRE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS ON THE SIDEWALL. THEY PAID FULL PRICE FOR A NEW TIRE. *KB THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A SECOND FAILURE JUST LIKE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. *JB

I PURCHASED 4 TIRES FROM GOODYEAR AND WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR IT BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I REACHED A SPEED OF AROUND 60 MPH. SIX TIMES IN THREE MONTHS I TOOK THE CAR TO GOODYEAR ON WATER ST. IN SYRACUSE, NY AND THEY ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES. STILL SHAKING I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DROVE THE CAR AND INSPECTED THE TIRES AND THREE OF THEM WERE DEFECTIVE. HE REPLACED THE TIRES FOR ME AND I TOOK THE OLD ONES BACK TO GOODYEAR. THEY JUST LOOKED AT THEM, CALLED AKRON, OHIO AND I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING I COULD RECEIVED A VOUCHER FOR $139.92 FOR A FUTURE PURCHASE OF TIRES. THEY WERE TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. AGAIN, I FEEL THE CONSUMER IS BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, PARTICULARLY A WOMAN. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND HURT MYSELF OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC LX 4-DOOR SEDAN ON MAY 6, 2007. I DRIVE ABOUT 120 HIGHWAY MILES EACH DAY AND IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THE CAR WAS "IN-SPEC" AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES SOONER. I DOCUMENT EVERY DROP OF FUEL THAT I PUT IN MY CAR. I WRITE DOWN WHEN I CHANGE THE OIL, WHEN I GET IT WASHED AND WHERE. NOTHING DOES UNDOCUMENTED, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN I ROTATED THE TIRES. THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSISTED THAT I GET THE VEHICLE ALIGNED AND BUY NEW TIRES FROM THEM. I REFUSED AND TOOK MY VEHICLE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH TWIN CITY HONDA IN NEDERLAND TEXAS AND WITH HONDA FOR NOT ADDRESSING THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION ON THE 2007 HONDA CIVIC. *TR
