GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

1- NORMAL DAY TO DAY DRIVING OR PARKED 2- NO OBJECT IN TIRE WAS TOLD "IT WAS A LEAK". AND NOT DEFECT -- HAPPENED TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO 2 DIFFERENT TRIES ON NEW VEHICLE 3- TIRES WERE PATCHED AND ARE ON VEHICLE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TIRES (GOODYEAR WRANGLER ALL WEATHER M+S 255/55VR19) ON LANDROVER LR3 MODELS ARE WEARING PREMATURELY BY CUPPING AND UNDERLAYMENT SHOWING THROUGH ON INSIDE OF TIRE TREAD WHERE UNEVENLY WORN. MINE DID THIS AT 25K MILES, BUT I WAS LUCKY - AFTER RESEARCHING THROUGH VARIOUS BLOGS I'VE FOUND MANY NEEDED ALL TIRES REPLACED EVEN UNDER 14K MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH MY DEALER TO RESOLVE MY SITUATION, BUT IT SHOULD BE MADE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TO CONSUMERS - ESPECIALLY IF IT CAN PREVENT FUTURE ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAYS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY CLASS ACTION SUITS IN MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIA ON THIS SAME ISSUE. UNSURE IF ISSUE IS JUST WITH LR3 MODELS, OR ALL OF LANDROVER VEHICLES. *JB

I HAVE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES AS OEM ON HONDA 2007 PILOT WITH 14K MILES. I WAS ONLY VEHICLE OF 8 WITH 2 BLOWOUTS WHILE TRAVELING ROCKY ROAD TO CAMPING SITE. TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED, VEHICLE WAS NOT OVERLOADED, AND I WAS TRAVELING AT SAME SPEED (SLOW) AS ALL OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

TREAD AND WALL SEPARATION ON WRANGLER RTS APROX. 1.5 INCHES FROM TREAD TOP WITH 3/4 TREAD STILL LEFT. COULD SEE PERFECT RING AROUND THE WALL WERE IT WAS SEPARATING AND LEAKING AIR. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACE WITH AN ARGUMENT FROM SEARS BUT WAS REPLACED WITH SAME STYLE AND HAD TO PAY DIFFERENCE IN TREAD WEAR. I AM NOW HAVING TROUBLE WITH THESE WITH ONLY 15000 MILE ON THEM. 1 HAS ALREADY SHREDED ON 495 DOING 65 MPH. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 DODGE DURANGO. IN DEC. 2006 THE ORIGINAL TIRES WALLS STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE TREAD TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS A COMPLETE RING AROUND THE TIRE SHOWING THE TREADS. I HAD TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE OF TREAD WEAR TO REPLACE THE TIRES AFTER ARGUING WITH A GOODYEAR DEALER. ON AUG. 3 2007, I WAS RIDING ON 495 DOING THE 65 MILE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE TIRE STARTED TO BUBBLE, SMOKE AND THEN PROCEED TO SHRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER WHO STARTED TO REFUSE TO REPLACE THE TIRE AT THEIR COST BECAUSE HE SAID THE REPLACEMENT TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME RECALLED/DEFECTIVE TIRE. I NOW HAVE 5 TIRES THAT ARE STARTING TO HAVE LITTLE BLISTERS ALL OVER THE WALL OF THE TIRES. I AM IN NO POSITION TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH ANOTHER KIND OR BRAND. I WANT THESE TIRES REPLACED WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOING TO KILL US ONE DAY. OR GIVE ME THE MONEY TO BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND. *JB

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DAKOTA IT HAD 1880 MILES ON IT WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT NEAR MILE MARKER 38.9 ON ROUTE 80 EAST BOUND IN NJ. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE DEVELOPED AN APPROXIMATELY TWO INCH VERTICAL SPLIT. THE TIRE WENT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. AAA SENT A TRUCK OUT AND INSTALLED THE SPARE. THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A P245/70R-16. THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM REFERRED ME TO GOODYEAR. I WENT TO THREE GOODYEAR TIRE STORES AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A SIDEWALL INTRUSION, AND GOODYEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRE. I E-MAILED GOODYEAR A COMPLAINT HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AT THE THIRD GOODYEAR TIRE STORE AT A COST OF $161.11. I KEPT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE. I HAD CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE THAT MORNING BEFORE LEAVING HOME. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AT THAT TIME, AND NON OCCURRED THAT DAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN IT BLEW. THE TIRE HAD LESS THAN 1900 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE BLOW OUT AND THE TIRE WAS NOT DAMAGED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. IT IS BEYOND BELIEF THAT GOODYEAR WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS TIRE, AND IT IS EVEN HARDER TO BELIEVE THAT THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE ANY INTEREST IN LOOKING AT IT. *JB
