GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

IN AUGUST OF 2006, I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC FROM BOB HOWARD AUTOMALL IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS CAR WAS FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING AND HONDA AMERICA KNEW IT AND DID NOTHING TO LET ANY CONSUMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THE FLAW IN THE CAR IS THAT THE REAR AXLE IS FLAWED AND IS CAUSING TIRES TO WEAR ABNORMALLY, THUS CAUSING FLATS AND BLOWOUTS THAT CONSUMERS ARE UNAWARE OFF. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO FIX AND HONDA IS UNWILLING TO WARRANT ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT THEIR MISTAKE HAS CAUSED. THIS CAR THAT WE OWN HAS HAD TWO BLOWOUTS ON THE REAR TIRES AND ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED WHEN WE HAD TO JUMP CURBS TO GET OUT OF THE CITY TRAFFIC FLOW. NOW HONDA AMERICA WANTS TO KEEP THIS FLAW QUIET AND LET CONSUMERS FOOT THE BILL FOR TIRES AND ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURE HAS CAUSED. HONDA STILL HAS NO FIX AND EXPECTS CONSUMERS TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. CHEERS AND CONCERNED CITIZEN*CN

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI XL WHEN BOTH THE PASSENGER TIRES WENT FLAT. WE PUT AIR IN THE TIRES AND DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS FLAT SO I USED MY COMPRESSOR TO AIR THE TIRE UP AND WENT TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. WHEN FIRESTONE REMOVED THE TIRE AND LOOKED AT IT, THEY FOUND MULTIPLE SPLIT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. SO I HAD THEM CHECK ALL THE TIRES AND EACH ONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES NOW BUT SOMEONE HAS SOLD A BAD TIRE AND I WANT THEM RECALLED AND ALSO MY MONEY BACK. *TR
