GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRE EQUIPMENT ON THE 2002 FORD RANGER WERE CUPPING. *MR THE TIRES WERE CUPPING ON BOTH EDGES OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAD GIVEN THE VEHICLE AN ALIGNMENT AND SUGGESTED THAT THE TOE:D WAS TOO STRONG. ALL OF THE TIRES CONTINUED TO CUP EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER MAINTAINED IT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A BROADCAST MESSAGE WHICH REFERENCED TO A PROBLEM WITH RST P245 75R16 TIRES ON 2001-2004 RANGERS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH P255 70R16. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *SC *JB

I STARTED TO GET A VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHECKED AND DETERMINED THAT THE STEEL BELTS INSIDE THE TIRES HAVE SHIFTED. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I PURCHASE NEW TIRES

I CURRENTY OWN A 2003 DODGE DURANGO, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN NOV 2003. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TROUBLE FROM DAY 1. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACE 3 TIMES, DUE TO PULSATING AND PULLING FROM THE FRONT END. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR CLICKING & POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHICH DEALER CLAIMED ON BOTH OCCASSIONS THEY COULD NOT FIND. DEALER KEEPS STATING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHEN IT COMES TO BRAKES WHICH I DON'T COMPREHEND SINCE I'VE OWNED NEW VEH BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES 3 TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. I'VE PAID FOR 2 HIGH SPEED WHEEL BALANCES, AND THE DEALER HAD THE NERVE TO THREATEN ME WITH THE FACT THAT IF VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AGAIN FOR BRAKES I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. ALSO RECENTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOUD NOT COME ON OR SHUT OFF ON COMMAND. OFCOURSE AT THE TIME I NEEDED THEM TO VISUALLY SEE THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS RAINING. I CLICKED ON MY RIGHT SIGNAL IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE ROAD ONCE I SAW THE MALFUNCTION OCCURING ONLY TO HAVE THE WINDHSHIELD WIPERS MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO START WORKING. I'VE KEPT A LOG OF EVERY REPAIR SHOP VISIT AND LACK OF REPAIR FINDING BASED ON DEALER ENDS. CHRSYLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE I'VE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS.

DT: CONTACT STATES THE TIRES ON HIS VEHICLE HAVE LARGE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE WALL. THE TIRES ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES, THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THEY WERE 75,000 MILE TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY A LOCAL SERVICE DEALER.

DT: GOOD YEAR TIRES, FAILUR ON RIGHT REAR OUTSIDE DEUL, TREAD SEPERATION HAPPENED, DAMAGAE TO THE MOTOR HOME. LOOKING AT THE RIGHT FRONT TRIES, I FOUND BULDGES ON THE TREAD, SPARE TIRE ALSO HAD A BULDGE TYPE SPOT ON IT. I HAVE CALLED GOODYEAR, AND SAID THEY COULD PRO RATE FOR NEW ONES. DID TAKE TO THE PRODUCT DAMAGE DEPARTMENT. WAS NOT SATIFICED WITH THE RESPONCE AND THEY SAID NO SAFETY RECALL.

MY COMPLAINT IS ON GOODYEAR TIRES, WRANGLER HT 225/75R16 LOAD RANGE E. ON APRIL 3, 2005 I LEFT A RV PARK IN TYLER. TX AND WAS TRAVELING EAST ON I-20 NEAR THE MARSHAL. TX EXIT WHEN ONE OF THE ABOVE TIRES BLEW OUT. I PROCEEDED UP THE 614 EXIT IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE FOR MY SAFETY ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED ON TO BOSSIER CITY, LA TO FIND ANOTHER TIRE. THE DEALER HAD THE SIZE TIRE NEEDED AND REPLACED THE BLOWN OUT TIRE. I INFORMED THE SALES PERSON THAT THE TIRE HAD DAMAGED MY TRAILER. HE GOT A CLAIM NUMBER (000427752} FOR ME AND TOLD ME THAT GOODYEAR WOULD SEND ME FORMS TO FILL OUT TO GET REEMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE NEW TIRE ($214.65) AND THE DAMAGE TO MY TRAILER, LATER DETERMINED TO BE $547.96. I TRAVELED TO TALLULAH, LA AND STOPED FOR FUEL AND CHECKED TIRES AND FOUND ANOTHER TIRE ABOUT HALF INFLATED AND COULD HEAR AIR COMING FROM IT, CHANGE TIRE. I MADE IT ON TO JACKSON, MS WHERE I FOUND A GOODYEAR DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE TIRE AND CHARGED ME $32.50. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TREAD HAD SEPERATED. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND PICKED UP MY MAIL AT THE POST OFFICE I DID HAVE THE PACKET TO FILE A CLAIM BUT I ALSO HAD A REGISTERED LETTER FROM GOODYEAR TELLING ME THAT MY CLAIM HAD BEEN DENIED EVEN BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO FILE IT. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANY DEFECT IN THE TIRE, THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN RUN FLAT. I SENT GOODYEAR THE CLAIM FORMS AND A LETTER ASKING THEM TO RECONSIDER MY CLAIM. I DID IN FACT RUN THE TIRE FLAT AFTER IT BLEW OUT IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHICH ONLY HAD CORDS AROUND THE TIRE AND THE BEADS AROUND THE WHEEL. GOODYEAR SAID THEY WOULD DESTROY THE IN 30 DAYS IF I DID NOT REQUEST THEM TO RETURN IT TO ME. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR TRAVEL CLUB HAVE HAD BLOW OUTS AND TREAD SEPERATIONS ON THIS SAME MAKE AND SIZE GOODYEAR TIRE. SINCE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC I WOULD ASK THAT THIS TIRE BE INVESTIGATED.
