GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 60 MPH LEFT FRONT TIRE DELAMINATED PUNCTURING AIR BAGS, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND SUSPENSION, SENDING VEHICLE INTO CENTER JERSEY BARRIER DIVIDER. DT

SIDEWALLS HAVE SPLIT ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH CAME NEW WITH THE TRUCK, TWO WERE SO BAD YOU COULD SEE THE INNER SIDEWALL. THE GARAGE FAILED THE TRUCK ON INSPECTION, SAID THE TIRES WERE A SAFETY HAZARD. I DID NOT MISUSE THESE TIRES NO 4-WHEELING, NO HEAVY LOADS, NO CONSTANT LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL; WORK WAS 10 MILES ONE WAY. MY MOTHER SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON THE PHONE WITH GOODYEAR AND SULLIVAN TIRE (THE NAME GOODYEAR GAVE US AS THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALER). THERE WAS NO SATISFACTION BECAUSE GOODYEAR AND SULLIVAN INSISTED THEY COULD ONLY PRO-RATE THE TREAD ON A REPLACEMENT. THE TREAD WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!!! ALL FOUR TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THEY WERE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY MOTHER PAID $431.71 FOR FOUR NEW TIRES, WHICH IS LESS THAN $100 UNDER THE PRICE SULLIVAN WOULD HAVE CHARGED FOR FOUR NEW TIRES. THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE OF CHARGE! I SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS ALREADY SUBMITTED THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES. GOODYEAR INSISTED THEY HAD RECEIVED NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS TIRE. THEY OBVIOUSLY LIED. DT

THE TIRES ARE VERY WEAK AND ARE NOT VERY "DURABLE." FROM THE EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THE TIRES AND WHEELS ON MY CAR. EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING SOMEWHERE AND ENCOUNTER EVERYDAY ROAD CONDITIONS, I'M SCARED TO FIND A FLAT, POPPED TIRE; OR BLOWOUT. I'VE HAD THE EXTERIOR BLACK LINING FIXED 2 TIMES AND I'M NOT HAPPY IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN! THE REAR WINDSHIELD WEATHER STRIP IS SEPARATING. THE LOWER BODY MOLD IS COMIING OFF THE BODY AROUND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. A SUSPENSION COVER PART DOESN'T FIT, HAS BEEN TO DAVE CROSS SERVICE DEPT. WHERE CAR SPENT 4 DAYS AND SAID TO BE REPAIRED, I GOT MY CAR BACK AND IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN IT WENT THERE. WHOEVER HAS REPLACED THE FRONT BUMPER IS A COMPLETE MORON! IT ISN'T LINED UP WITH THE PROPER THINGS! THE DRIVER SIDE IS LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART ON A PERFECT ROAD! A LOT OF MONEY HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S VERY UPSETTING WHEN IT IS TAKEN TO GET FIXED, PAY FOR THAT, GET IT BACK, IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT, TAKE IT BACK AGAIN, PAY, RECIEVE RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEN IT'S A HALF-A** JOB! THERE'S SO MANY THINGS TO COMMENT ABOUT, BUT THOSE ARE THE TOP SUBJECTS WITH MY CAR. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY FOR ONCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, IT IS APPRECIATED. DT
