GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

2002 MERCURY VILLAGER HAS VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS ABOVE 10MPH. DEALER HAS TRIED 3 TIMES TO FIX AND EVEN REPLACED 2 OF THE 4 TIRES. STILL THE VIBRATION. REPAIR SHOP OTHER THAN THE DEALER SUGGESTED SWITCHING BRANDS OF TIRES BECAUSE AFTER THEY ALIGNED THE FRONT END THEY ROTATED THE TIRES TO TRY TO ISOLATE THE VIBRATION PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND THAT THE ROTATION NULLIFIED THE ALIGNMENT. HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL THE VILLAGERS MANUFACTURED I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 1998 FORD F150 4.2L ENGINE THAT HAS 65000 MILES AND AM EXPERIENCING HEAD GASKET FAILURE. FORD MOCO STATS THERE IS NO TSP'S OR RECALLS REGUARDING THIS. I PULLED THE OWNERS NOTIFICATION 98B33 OFF YOUR WEB SITE. MY ENGINE BUILD DATE IS NOV 1997 AT THE ESSEX PLANT. I AM IN THE ARMY AND AM STATIONED IN GERMANY. THE DEALERSHIP HERE QUOTED ME 2500.00 FOR THE ESTIMATE. AT THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE U.S. ESP PURCHASED FROM THE ORIGINAL DEALER. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. FORD WILL NOT GIVE PART TO ME AT NO COST TO FIX THERE DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKETS AND LOWER INTAKE MANIDOLS GASKETS AND ENGINE FRONT COVER GASKETS. THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND CAN'T GET ME STRAIGHT ANSWERS. I AM CONTINUING WORKING WITH MY DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THEY WILL SIT ON THIS UNTIL MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT ON THE 22 JANUARY 2003.

ALL FOUR GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES THAT CAME INSTALLED ON MY BUICK PARK AVE HAVE TREAD SEPARATIONS. THREE OF THE FOUR TIRES HAVE OPEN SEPARATIONS. EXPECT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. TREAD SEPARATIONS DEVELOPED OVER SOME TIME.

TIRE PRESSURE IN 2002 EXPLORER STILL SET TOO LOW. THE DOOR PANEL ON MY 2002 EXPLORER SAYS TO INFLATE FRONT TIRES TO 30 PSI, REAR 35 PSI. WHILE SPIN BALANCING I WAS ABLE TO WITNESS THE "CUPPING" OF THE TIRE WHILE IT WAS SPINNING ON THE MACHINE. THIS SHOWED UNEVEN WEAR. THIS WAS ONLY ON THE FRONT TIRES, WHICH, ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THE DOOR PANEL, NEEDED ONLY 30 PSI OF AIR. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER (GOODYEAR) AND THEY SAID NEVER GO BELOW 35 PSI ON ALL FOUR TIRES. I HAVE 16 INCH AP TIRES. HOW FAR IS FORD WILLING TO GO? SMOOTHNESS OF RIDE OVER SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS?

REAR END FISH TALES AND WANDERS THROUGH TURNS AND ON STRAIGHTS. IS SCALLOPING REAR END TIRES. CAR IS DRIVEN ON ASPHALT ROADS AND HIGHWAYS ONLY. DELONG FORD IN WINNEMUCCA TELLS US NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. PURCHASING DEALER, JONES-WEST TOLD US WE COULD TAKE IT TO ANY FORD DEALER TO BE SERVICED.

EAGLE GA-P20566R16; USED ON PONTIAC GRAND AM SPORT 1993; THE OWNER HAD HAD THREE SETS OF TIRES THAT SEPERATED ON THE SIDEWALLS. THE OWNER IS STATING THAT HE WAS INFORMED BY THE DISTRIBUTOR AND GOODYEAR "THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE". PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. TS

WHEN DRIVING ALONG AT 48 TO 55 MPH, I CAN HEAR AND FEEL A BEARING TYPE VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OR FRONT DRIVE TRAIN. THE NOISE IS A LOW PITCH AND CAN BE HEARD BEST WHEN GOING UP HILLY ROADS. MY BEST GUESS, THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE GEARS OVER MESHING IN THE FRONT AXLE. WAITNG FOR D.C. TO COME UP WITH A FIX. DT

I WENT TO HAVE BRAKES SERVICED AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE VISABLE TREAD SEPARATIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN IMMEDIATE BLOWOUT ON ANY ONE OR ALL TIRES. I BELIEVE THIS MUST BE THE RESULT OF MANUFACTURERING DEFECT(S) FOR ALL TIRES TO HAVE SAME TREAD SEPARATIONS. HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER INSTANCES? DT
