GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT IN ABOUT 7 PLACES ON MY 1996 FORD EXPLORER YESTERDAY ( 11-11-01) ON I-71 ABOUT 30 MILES NORTH OF COLUMBUS OHIO. AT RIGHT AROUND 65 MPH I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I COULD KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GET IT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER CALLING AAA FOR ASSISTANCE THE MECHANIC THAT CAME OUT TO CHANGE THE TIRE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR TIRE FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OR NOW TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS?*AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

ON OCTOBER 16, 2001 THE CAR HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE RIGHT REAR PASSSENGER SIDE. UPON TAKING THE TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRE, THEY STATED THE TIRE WAS FAULTY AND BLEW FROM WITHIN, AND WOULD RETURN THE TIRE TO THE COMPANY. THEN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2001, THE SECOND TIRE BLEW ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE AGAIN, ON AN INTERSTATE AT 60MPH, THIS TIME THE CAR ROCKED BACK AND FORTH THEN SPUN AROUND THREE TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP NEXT TO THE CONCRETE WALL FACING ONCOMING TAFFIC. THE TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND THEY CHANGED THE TIRE, STATING THE TIRE HAD EXCELLENT TREAD AND THERE WERE NO HOLES OR ETC, BUT THE TIRE HAD BLOW FROM WITHIN AROUND ENTIRE BACK OF THE TIRE AND THE RIM WAS DESTROYED. *AK THE CONSUMER IS ASKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TIRES AND THE DAMAGED RIM. *YD (DOT NUMBER: M6PCLNWR-2 TIRESIZE: P215/SOR17)
