GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

GOODYEAR FORTERA HL B07, P275/70R16 TIRES RECOMMENDED AND INSTALLED AT BOY-RAD GOODYEAR FOR A LEXUS LX470 CAUSED AN UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE RIDE. THESE NEW TIRES WERE INDEPENDENTLY BALANCED AND ROTATED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT RESOLVING STABILITY ISSUES. SEEKING REFUND FROM GOODYEAR, EXPECT TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER BRAND.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY SURFACE, MY 4WD MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2003 JEEP LIBERTY PULLS STRONGLY TO THE RIGHT. IT EASILY GOES OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD, CREATING THE NEED FOR AN OFF ROAD RECOVERY. DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT SAID THAT THE WHEELS WERE ALIGNED PROPERLY AFTER AN ACCIDENT, AN ALL WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED BUT IT STILL PULLS SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE IN THE RAIN OR ON A WET SURFACE, THE TIRES SKID AND DO NOT PROPERLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, SO TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE VEHICLE TO NOT SKID OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH IS DIFFICULT WITHOUT BEING IN AT LEAST PARTIAL 4WD--AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN HELP OCCASIONALLY. *AK

I PURCHASED FOUR GOODYEAR WRANGLER ATD 255/70R16 TIRES FROM SAM'S WHOLESALE CLUB. I HAVE EXPERIENCED IRREGULAR AND EXCESSIVE WEAR ON OUTER EDGES OF ALL FOUR TIRES, CAUSING VIBRATION AND HANDLING PROBLEMS. I HAVE TRIED ROTATING, BALANCEING, AND REALIGNMENT OF MY TRUCK. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY THE LEFT REAR GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT/S LT315/70R16 TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE LAUNCHING MY 2002 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY TRUCK ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AND CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BED WAS TOTALLY DESTOYED AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR WAS DAMAGED ALONG WITH THE TAILGATE AND FENDER. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND BALANCED NOT FIVE WEEKS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. *AK

I BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN QUEST IN JANUARY OF 2004. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. THE VAN HAD GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES. WE HAVE HAD THE VAN A LITTLE OVER SIX MONTHS AND HAVE HAD THREE BLOWOUTS, ALL OCCURING ON THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. THE FIRST BLOWOUT OCCURRED THE FIRST MONTH WE HAD THE VAN. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND BLOWOUT OCCURRED AS MY WIFE WAS PULLING UP ON THE CURB TO PARK. THE THIRD BLOWOUT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT AS SHE WAS TURNING A CORNER. THERE WERE FOUR RAILS ON THE GROUND AND THE TIRE GRAZED ONE AND TOTALLY BLEW. THIS WAS IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THE FOURTH TIRE WAS REPLACED WHEN WE NOTICED A GOUGE IN THE RUBBER OF THE TIRE.WE HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE AND GOODYEAR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE IMPECCABLE DRIVING RECORDS - NO ACCIDENTS, SPEEDING TICKETS, RECKLESS DRIVING ETC.. SO THIS IS NOT A CASE OF NEGLIGENT DRIVING ON OUR PART.*AK

AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINTS FOR RECALL 03V460000 THE VEHICLE'S ALIGNMENT WAS OFF, AND THE FRONT END SHOOK AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT WHEN SPEED REACHED AND EXCEEDED 50 MPH. ALSO, FRONT TIRES NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE CROPPING. *AK PRIOR TO REPAIR, VEHICLE WAS OPERATING FINE. DEALER REFUSED REALIGNMENT OF THE VEHICLE, PER REQUEST OF THE CONSUMER, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL. ALSO, ALL FOUR TRIES WERE REPLACED AT 8,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. *LA
