GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE I WAS TOWING A 3000 LB TRAILER ON A MAJOR FREEWAY. THE REAR OF THE TOYOTA STARTED TO SWAY WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE TRAILER TO START TO SWAY. THE TOYOTA SWUNG BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY AND NEARLY ROLLED OVER. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO BOTH THE TRAILER AND THE TOYOTA AS THE TWO VEHICLES JACK KNIFED AND STRUCK EACH OTHER. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON A ROUGH SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHICH DID ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THE GOODYEAR TIRES WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY HEAVY DUTY FOR 4 WHEELING ON PRIMITIVE ROADS AND TRAILER TOWING. THE 4RUNNER CAME WITH A TOWING PACKAGE WHICH ALSO WAS INADEQUATE. THE SOCK ABSORBERS ARE TOO SOFT FOR STABLE TOWING. ADJUSTABLE STIFFER SHOCKS SHOULD BE PROVIDED ON SUCH A VEHICLE AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF VEHICLE LEVELING SYSTEM TO PROVIDE MORE STABLE TOWING.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR DRIVER SIDE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, GOODYEAR, WRANGLER TIRES WITH THIRTY THOUSAND MILES ARE DETERIORATED. ALSO, SIDEWALLS CRACKED. DEALER HAS YET TO BE CONTACTED. *AK *SLC

THIS IS A "LOAD RANGE E" GOODYEAR TIRE PROBLEM. AT 30081, 30805, 35213, AND 38060 MILES ONE EACH OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES FAILED DUE TO SIDEWALL SEPARATION AND WAS REPLACED AT VARYING CHARGES BY GOODYEAR. NOW, AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRES HAS FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON. GOODYEAR IS GIVING ME A "RUN AROUND" AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN ALL PREVIOUS OCCURANCES, VARIOUSLY CLAIMING THAT THE TIRE IS "NO LONGER AVAAILABLE" "ON BACKORDER" "NO LONGER MANUFACTURED" "NOT ADJUSTABLE" ETC. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE LAST FAILURE WAS SHOWN TO GOODYEAR, AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS, DEALER NAMES AND LOCATIONS, AND AM READY TO ASSIST YOU IN WHATEVER WAY IS APPROPRIATE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)

I PURCHASED NEW 2001 CADILLAC SEVILLE ON DECEMBER 22, 2000. MY CAR RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS. IN FEBRUARY 2001, DEALER CHANGED 13 TIRES TO MATCH 4 TIRES. THEN IN AUGUST ANDF OCTOBER 2001 THEY ORDERED 4 NEW CONTROLLED TIRES, PERFECT TIRES FROM DETROIT FACTORY. VIBRATION CONTINUED. THEN, IN NOV 2001 I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE IN DETROIT, ALSO AREA SERVICE MANAGER. THIS TIME DEALER CHANGED 4 ROTORS, AND INSTALLED 4 NEW HIGH GRADE MICHELIN TIRE. CAR STILL VIBRATES, SOMETIMES YOU FEEL THAT FRONT END WILL COLLAPSE. CADILLAC HAS NO IDEA WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, RIMS, SUSPENSIONS, BRAKES, FRAME. MEANTIME CAR STILL VIBRATES BADLY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225-60)
