GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

THE TIRES ARE WEARING OUT VERY QUICKLY AND THE TREAD IS STARTING TO SEPARATE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE TIRES FAILED TO GRIP WHILE DRIVING ON WET SURFACES. *AK *TS THE TIRES FAILED TO GRIP THE ROAD AT NORMAL SPEED AND BRAKING, THE RV SKIDDED WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO BRAKE WHEN HE APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT *JB

THE VEHICLE IS A 2002 DODGE RAM SPORT 4X4 WITH 28,000 MILES WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60/20 TIRES. I HAVE HAD 12 TIRES WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN THEY WERE RUINED AFTER GOING FLAT FROM PUNTURES AS WELL AS NUMEROUS FLAT REPAIRS. COMPLAINTS TO BOTH DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND GOODYEAR YIELDED NOTHING BUT COMMENTS OF SURPRISE ON BOTH THEIR PARTS WITH A REMINDER THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE TIRES. THE DODGE BROCHURE SAYS OFF ROAD RATED TIRES, GOODYEAR SAYS EXCELLENT OFF ROAD TRACTION. THE TIRES HAVE NO PUNCTURE RESISTANCE, THE PRESENT TIRES HAVE HUNDREDS OF CUTS, SOME THROUGH TO THE BELTS. LAST NEW TIRE BLEW WITH JUST 100 MILES ON IT. FIRST FLAT WAS AT 250 MILES ON VEHICLE. WHEN THE TIRES ARE PUNCTURED THE INNER LINER SPLITS MAKING REPAIRS IMPROBABLE. GOODYEAR IS THE ONLY MANUFACTURER OF THAT SIZE TIRE SO THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES. PERHAPS THE LEMON LAW MAY HELP, GOODYEAR AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT. GOOD NEWS IS THAT I CAN PROBABLY GET A JOB ON A NASCAR PIT CREW WITH MY NEW FOUND TIRE CHANGING SPEED WHICH MAY HELP SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME TO BUY MORE TIRES FOR MY TRUCK.*AK

OWNER OF 2001 DODGE DAKOTA P/U, WITH WRANGLER ST TIRES, AT 10000 MILES TIRES CRACKED AROUND RIM, GOODYEAR STORE ONLY ADJUSTED THE FRONT ONES, WHICH HE SAID WERE CRACKED. THE REAR, HE CALLED DRY ROTTING, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE FRONT TIRES 8000 MILES LATER ARE CRACKED. I CALLED WESTCHASE TIRE AND AUTO , IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AND THE STORE MANAGER MENTIONED THAT IT WAS STRANGE THAT THIS HAD OCCURED AGAIN. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE AND FOUND THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURES WERE BEING REPORTED SINCE SEVERAL YEARS BACK. I AM POSITIVE THAT NEITHER GOODYEAR NOR DODGE WILL FESS UP TO ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I JUST HOPE THAT LOSS OF LIVES DO NOT OCCUR BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN. I WILL HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED ONCE MORE AND SEE HOW LONG THEY WILL LAST THIS TIME.*AK
