GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

TIRE SIZE P2256/60R16;ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT; WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WILL BOUNCE. THE BOUNCE WORSEN WHEN VEHICLE ACCELERATES TO SPEEDS OF 40/65 MPH. CONSUMER HAD TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCE 3 TIMES, PROBLEM STILL OCCURED. WHEN THE CONSUMER HAD THE TIRES SERVICED A FOURTH TIME, THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRE HAD FEATHERING. THE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AT THE SHOULDERS,THE TREAD DEPTH WAS 33%. PLEASE INCLUDE THE DOT NUMBER. TS

THE FRONT TIRES ON THE OUTER EDGE ARE WHAT I CALL CUPPING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I DO HAVE A FRONT END PROBLEM. THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S THE ALIGNMENT CAUSING THE ABNORMAL WEAR BUT AFTER 5 OR 6 ALIGNMENTS YOU WOULD THINK SOMETHING WOULD EITHER CORRECT OR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP IN SMYRNA APPX 9 MILES FROM BILL HEARD ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THEY ALIGNED MY TRUCK AND THEY SAID THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS AND THIS WAS A REP. FROM THE GM FACTORY TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. AS OF 12/2/02 ED BOGGS THE REP SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT CHEVROLET OR GM COULD DO. I SUGGESTED HIM GIVE ME A TRUCK THAT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE OR I FELT I WAS SAFE. BILL HEARD DID ADMIT THAT THE WEAR ON 5 TIRE ROTATIONS ON THE FRONT END WAS ABNORMAL BUT WAS WITHIN SPECS. I GAVE THEM A CHANCE AND SAID IF YOU WOULD WRITE ME A LETTER OR STATEMENT SAYING THAT THIS WEAR IS NORMAL AND IS NOT GOING TO AFFECT THE NORMAL WEAR ON THIS TRUCK I WILL SHUT UP AND LET IT REST. WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN! THE PULLED A PRINT OUT STATING THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. I IN THE MEANTIME HAVE CHECKED A FEW OF THE NEWER TRUCKS I'VE SEEN IN PARKING LOTS AND NOTICED ABOUT HALF THE TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO I GUESS IM THE ONLY ONE PURSUING THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP SINKING INTO THIS TRUCK. ON THE OLDER TRUCKS I'VE OWNED THE WEAR IM GETTING ON THESE TIRES LOOK LIKE SHOCK OR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY SAY NO WAY. SO I'M BACK AT SQUARE ONE WITH ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND NO ANSWERS AND REALLY MAD. HOPEFULLY YOU PEOPLE CAN HELP ME.
