GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

TOWING A 2000 SKYLINE LAYTON MODEL 250 LT AT 45 MPH ON AN ASPHALT HIGHWAY, AIR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 65 F, THE RIGHT REAR TRAILER TIRE TREAD SEPARATED AT THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SIDEWALLS AND FELL OFF. THE TIRE WAS PRESUMED NEW WHEN THE TRAILER WAS PURCHASED ON 21FEB00. THE TIRE FAILED AFTER 6897 MILES. IT WAS A GOODYEAR MARATHON RADIAL TRAILER ST205/75R15 AND WAS ALWAYS CHECKED FOR THE PROPER 50 PSI COLD, AND NOT OVERLOADED.

DRIVING 75 MPH AND THE RUBBER OF THE FRONT WHEEL ROLLS OFF....MECHANIC SAID TO GET ALL NEW TIRES

BULGES FOUND ON 2 GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES AND CRACK BETWEEN TREAD ON 3RD TIRE. LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON TIRES. TIRES WITH BULGES REPLACED AND 3RD TIRE USED AS SPARE.

I'VE GOT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. I HAVE APROX 21,000 MILES ON IT. MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRES (OEM) HAVE STARTED TO SPLIT ON THE SIDE WALL. MY TIRES STILL HAVE OVER 60% OF THE TREAD LEFT. GOODYEAR IS PRORATING THE TIRES AT 25% OF TIRE WEAR USED. MY CONCERN IS THAT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY MAXIMA IS NOT THE ONLY CAR THAT HAS HAD TROUBLE WITH THESE TIRES. IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE, IF SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE SIDE OF THEIR TIRE BLEW OUT. FORUMS.MAXIMA.ORG HAS MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AT 48,000 MILES ON HIS 2005 NISSAN TITAN. *JB THERE WAS TIRE TREAD WEAR OF 20-25% ON EACH TIRE. NISSAN SUGGESTED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. *SC *JB

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE APPEARED TO BLOWOUT CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID IN THE CURB. MY HUSBAND CAME AND PUT THE LITTLE SPARE ON AND I WAS TO TAKE IT A DODGE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE TIRE FOR ABNORMALITIES, ETC. ABOUT A HALF BLOCK FROM THE ORIGINAL BLOWOUT THE CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED INTO THE CENTER LANE AND THE FRONT END APPEARED TO DROP AND I GAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND GOT IT TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT ME PUTTING IT IN PARK. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND FOUND THAT THE SPARE TIRE HAD BROKEN OFF THE AXEL AND WAS PUSHED INTO THE WHEEL WELL AND THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY SITTING ON THE GROUND WITH ALL THE FLUIDS DRAINING OUT INTO THE STREET. I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD CRUNCH SOUND THINKING SOMEONE HAD EITHER HIT ME OR I HIT SOMEBODY ELSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND IT WILL ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING FOR THEM TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, FRAME AND AND WHEEL AXELS. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINT WITH MY CAR EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO/CD PLAYER WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW PLAYER.....THE RADIO HOWEVER IS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT. I WAS NOT HURT DURING EITHER INCIDENT, BUT, I DO BELIEVE SEEING THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN ORDER TO CREATE THAT SORT OF DAMAGE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT SOMEONE MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER OR AT LEAST INVESTIGATE THE CAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TIMELY ATTENTION INTO THIS MATTER.

DT: APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A TRAVEL TRAILER CONSUMER SET OUT FOR A TRIP AND THE TIRES BEGAN BLOWING OUT ABOUT 200 MILES AFTER THEY STARTED. THREE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT ON THIS TRIP FROM KENTUCKY TO NEVADA. THE SIDEWALLS BLEW OUT, AND ONLY THE RIMS WERE LEFT. CONSUMER CONTACTED GOODYEAR, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT THERE WAS A BETTER TIRE HE COULD PURCHASE. DEALERSHIP WHERE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TOLD HIM THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIRES. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED CONSUMER MADE SURE THERE WAS ENOUGH AIR IN THE TIRES, AND THE LOAD WASN'T TOO HEAVY. THE FENDER WAS TORN UP DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.*AK
