GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC SIERRA. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT, SIZE LT255/85R16 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BEAD AREA OF ALL THE TIRES WAS EXTREMELY INDENTED. SHE NOTICED A HUGE BULGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THREE OF THE SIX TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE REMAINING THREE TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

RE:: TIRE P185/65R15 ( NOT ON LIST ) ON 5/30/07 I LEASED A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA, IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES P185/65R15 . ON 7/21/07 I WENT TO THE DEALER & TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR RETENTION IN THE TIRES. IT HAD BECOME NECESSARY WITH THIS CAR & THESE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES TO CHECK THE TIRES WEEKLY & ADD AIR AT THAT SAME TIME. I ALSO STRONGLY FELT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE TIRES OR THE VALVE STEMS & ASKED THAT THEY CHECK THEM. THEY CHECKED THE TIRES & INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE, MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 503 MILES. SINCE I CONTINUE TO FEEL UNSAFE WITH THESE TIRES EVERY TIME I GO OUT I CHECK THE TIRES & PUT THE REQUIRED AIR IN. ON 8/17/07 I CONTACTED GOODYEAR & EXPLAINED IN DETAIL THE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES OR THEIR MANUFACTURE GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER 918405 & SENT ME TO THE NEAREST GOODYEAR STORE TO HAVE THE TIRES & VALVE STEMS CHECKED. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE STORE TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TIRES & ASKED WHAT TYPE OF A TIRE GAUGE I WAS USING & SOMETIMES THEY ARE NOT ACCURATE. AT 67 YRS OF AGE I KNOW HOW TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE & I CAN ALSO TELL BY THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES, HANDLES, & STOPS THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT AT THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. I DON'T DO A LOT OF DRIVING (MILEAGE NOW 956) BUT WHEN I GO BACK TO WORK I WANT TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING. I AM TERRIFIED WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE I FEEL IT HAS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES WHERE THESE TIRES ARE CONCERNED & I DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC NOR DO I WANT TO KILL SOMEONE. I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH THE TOYOTA DEALER OR GOODYEAR THE "OLD BOY'S CLUB" STICK TOGETHER. THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES & IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED EITHER BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY, DEALER OR GOODYEAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *JB

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 YUKON. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLERS (P265/70R17). I MUST CONSTANTLY INFLATE MY TIRES ON A DAILY BASIS AFTER BEING PROMPTED BY THE MONITOR SYSTEM. THE TIRE PRESSURE GOES DOWN TO 27 PSI AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT LEAST 37 PSI. I ONLY HAVE 6900 MILES ON MY SUV, BUT NEITHER THE CAR DEALERSHIP NOR THE WARRANTY WANTS TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I HAD A FLAT ON YESTERDAY ON MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WALLS WERE TORN BECAUSE OF DRIVING ON LOW PRESSURED TIRES, BUT WAS TOLD FROM A TIRE KINGDOM REPRESENTATIVE THAT I RECEIVED FALSE INFORMATION FROM MY DEALER. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? *TR

DRIVING AT 65MPH ON I75 THE CAR BEGAN TO VIBRATE. INSPECTION SHOWED APPROXIMATELY 10 CM X 2 CM SEPARATION ON THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE BETWEEN THE STEEL BELTS. (NYLON OVERLAY MAINTAINED THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE). LATER INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SHOWED A BELT EDGE SEPERATION OF 3 CM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR RADIAL, SIZE P225R15R16 TIRES. THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT BLINKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. WHILE DRIVING 69 MPH, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL. THE RIDGES IN THE ROAD EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CONSUMER STATED IT DID BLINK FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE. AAA STATED THAT THE TIRE FAILED DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 28,000. *UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE HP, SIZE 255/35ZR20 TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 4 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AIR LEAKING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. HE THEN NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS FLAT. THE TIRE SHOP FOUND CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRE AND REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE CRACKS ON THE OTHER THREE TIRES AS WELL. AS OF OCTOBER 15, 2007, THE TIRE SHOP HAD NOT REPLACED THE TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,900.

I REC'D A LETTER REGARDING RECALLS ON TIRES ON A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA INFORMING OF DEFECTED TIRE WALLS WHERE THE TIRES CRACK/SPLIT. MY TIRES ARE NOW SHOWING SUCH DAMAGE, BUT, I HAVE MISPLACED MY LETTER INDICATING WHERE TO TAKE THE TIRES FOR REPLACEMENT. PLEASE SEND PERTINENT INFORMATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN HAVE DAMAGED TIRES REPLACED. THANK YOU. D. HAMLET *TR

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THEN A YEAR AGO THE TIRES ALWAYS SLIP IN WET WEATHER. NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU STOP OR HOW SLOW YOU START OUT FROM A STOP THEY SLIP 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME. THERE HAS BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE "GOODYEAR INTEGRITY" TIRES THAT HONDA PUTS ON THE PILOT LX'S. ALL THE COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT IT SLIPPING IN WET WEATHER AND HOW UNSAFE IT IS. THE COMPLAINTS CAN BE FUND AT WWW.HONDAPILOT.ORG. THE TIRES ARE SUPPOSEDLY CAR TIRES AND NOT SUV TIRES AND THE WEIGHT OF THE PILOT IS TOO MUCH FOR THE TRACTION OF THE TIRES IN WET WEATHER WHICH POSSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN STOPPING ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO STOP FAST. *TR
