GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

I AM ON MY 2ND REPAIR OF BALL JOINTS WITH MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY, I HAVE ALSO HAD A REPAIR WHEN WATER GATHERED AND CAUSED MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CARPET TO GET SOAKED WITH WATER. MY ISSUE IS RELATED TO MY TIRES, I HAVE HAD RUBBING AND VEERING TO THE RIGHT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR A FEW YEARS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN QUESTIONING ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO ROTATE EVERY OIL CHANGE WHICH I DUE BUT THE PREMATURE WEAR ON MY TIRES IS BAD. I BELIEVE IT IS CAUSED FROM THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT PROBLEMS AND FEEL MY TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, 4.7 ENGINE, VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 75 MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED BOTH DRIVESHAFTS WHICH HELPED SOME. GOODYEAR REPLACED ON GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRE WHICH WAS OUT OF ROUND. THIS HELPED SOME AS WELL. STILL THERE IS A VIBRATION (SHUDDER) THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AT THE SPEEDS MENTIONED PRIOR. *TR

ALL 4 EAGLE RS A P205 GOODYEAR TIRES ON MY 2004 MAZDA 3 4 DOOR SEDAN ARE DEFECTIVE. ONE TIRE THE SIDEWALL TOTALLY CRACKED AND SEPARTED AND THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE BEGINNING TO CRACK AND SEPARTE. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE A SAFETY HAZZARD. THE GOODYEAR DEALER HAS REFUSED TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. I KNOW THE TIRES ON THE NISSAN CARS ARE BEING REPLACED FOR THE SAME DEFECT. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE ONE TIRE AND THE DEALER DID NOT CHECK THE OTHER 3 TIRES WHICH WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SHOWED ME THE SEPARATING SIDEWALLS AND TOLD ME THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE LISTED AS THE ONLY OPTION FOR EAGLE RSA ON YOUR FORM IS P245. THESE TIRES IN QUESTION ARE P205 SO I AM NOT SURE HOW TO REPORT THIS DEFECT.

FOR THE THIRD TIME, AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THE TIRE AND THE SIDEWALL SEPARATION WITH A LARGE DEEP CRACK WAS 3/4 AROUND THE TIRE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A GOODYEAR DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY THE EAGLE RSA WERE BEING REPLACED ON THE NISSAN'S AND NOT THE MAZDA 3. NO FURTHER EXPLANATION WAS AVAILABLE.

SIDEWALL CRACKS ON ALL 4 TIRES (GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA 245-45-18) ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WERE APPARENT AT ABOUT 20-25,000 MILES. I WAS VERBALLY NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY THE NISSAN DEALER, WHO RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE NEW SET OF TIRES. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION ABOUT THE CRACKS, AS THERE WAS STILL GOOD TREAD LEFT ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE CO. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE TIRES WERE CRACKED AND THEREFORE UNSAFE. I HAD ALL 4 OF THEM REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY DIDN'T WRITE THE REASON FOR REPLACEMENT ON MY RECEIPT (CRACKED SIDEWALLS), AND BECAUSE OF THAT OMISSION, GOODYEAR HAS DENIED ME ANY REDRESS AT ALL. TO DATE, THEY STILL HAVEN'T EVEN SENT THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT BACK TO ME.
