GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SHEARD OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE SIDEWALL, THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL TIRES REPLACED(GOODYEAR EAGLE GA TIRES, SIZE 185 65R14, THE TIRES HAVE 40270K MILES ON THEM)*NLM

ROLLOVER ALMOST OCCURRED FROM BLOWN TIRE/EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING-BAD SERVICE-NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. VEHICLE FRAME IS BENT AND A LOT OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE-I FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. INSURANCE DOES NOT WANT TO COVER COSTS ON TIRES BECAUSE TIRE WAS BRAND NEW WAS REPLACED BY DREW FORD ON 7-2-01 AND BLEW OUT ON 7-6-01. THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING CAUSED BY LOW INFLATION AND THE TIRE WAS JUST REPLACED ON 7-2-01. THE SERVICE MEN SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THE PRESSURE AT THAT TIME OF REPLACING THE TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6HLTB2R21 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK (TIRESIZE: 195/65R15) (TIRESIZE: 195/65R15)

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END PULLING TO THE RIGHT, EVEN WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD AND HIT UTILITIES AND AN EMBANKMENT, CONSUMER INJURED NECK/ BACK, AND CHEST . ALSO 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING 40 (IN A 55 ZONE) WHILE RAINING, CONSUMER WENT INTO A SKID AND RAN OFF THE ROAD BUT THERE WAS NO PROPERTY DAMAGE. HEADLIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY DIMMED/FLICKERED WHEN APPLYING BRAKES OR COMING UP STEEP HILLS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE INTO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP TO CHECK OUT A VIBRATION THAT WAS OCCURING AT SPEEDS OVER 70 MPH, CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE SEPARATING, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD SEPARATED AS MUCH AS A QUARTER OF AN INCH IN SOME PLACES.*YH

WHILE DRIVING THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT, THE TIRE HAD ONLY 39K MILE ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE BLOWOUT(GOODYEAR EAGLE GA P235/55R16). NLM

MY MOTHER TOOK HER 1998'JETTA TO THE DOVER VW DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST WARRANTY SERVICE AT 24,000 MILES. AS SHE WAS LEAVING (GETTING INTO HER CAR) THEY SAID THEY WERE ORDERING 4-NEW TIRES FOR HER (I GUESS THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE FULL SIZE SPARE IN THE TRUNK) THEY TOLD HER THAT GOOD YEAR (NOT VW WAS DOING A RECALL ON THESE TIRES) AND TO ALLOW 3 MONTHS, YES 3 MONTHS FOR THE NEW ONES. THEY TOLD HER THEY WERE NOT WEARING CORRECTLY, BUT HTERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE DANGER - THEY WERE OK TO DRIVE, AND THEY WOULD BE COVERED AT 100 %. NOW WE ARE BOTH VW OWNERS, WE BOTH RECEIVED SEPERATE LETTERS FROM VW, REMINDING OWNERS TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE IN THERI TIRES, AND MAINTAIN THEM CORRECTLY - BUT NO MENTION, THAT IF YOU HAD GOOD YEAR TIRES ON YOUR VW, FOR MODEL YEARS, X,Y,Z, THAT YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR DEALERSHIP. I THINK IT HORRIBLE THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS (HIT OR MISS) IF A CUSTOMER HAPPENS IN, AND THEY HAVE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES, THAT AT THAT POINT, THEY SAY, WELL VW ISN;T DOING THE RECALL, GOOD YEAR IS, AND VW DOES'NT KNOW WHAT CARS HAVE GOOD YEARS, OR CONTINENTAL, OR WHAT EVER. SEEMS THAT IF VW (AND I DON'T MEAN THE MAINTENANCE REMINDER LETTERS THE LOCAL DEALER SEND OUT TO SERVICE YOUR CAR) THAT IF THEY WERE GOING TO REMIND FOLKS THAT THEY SHOULD MAINTAIN THEIR TIRES, THAT CERTAINLY THEY WOULD BE AWARE OF GOOD YEARS TIRE PROBLEMS (RECALL) AND COULD'VE ADDED VERBIAGE TO SAY, IF YOU HAVE THESE TIRES, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALERSHIP, OF GOOD YEAR. VW DID A HALF WAY JOB HEAR IN MY OPINION. I HOPE THE WORD GETS OUT TO OTHER OWNERS FOR THEIR SAFETY AND FOR THEIR MANUFACTURER'S REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE !*AK

RE BRAKES: THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SHOES/PAD TWICE ANDS ROTORS ONCE. RE TIRE/WHEELS THEY COULD NOT GET THEM TO BALANCE OUT TRIED 4 TIMES ( GOODYEAR TRIED TWICE) TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. AGAIN A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, IT PULLS LEFT WHEN BRAKING, AND VIBRATION IS BACK AGAIN. I HAVE SPOKE WITH WAYNE ( SERVICE MGR) AND AL MC DONALD ( GENERAL SALES MGR). I HAVE INFORMED THEM OF THE NEVADA LEMON LAW # NRS 597.630 HE SAID TO INFORCE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET A "LAWYER". PLEASE NOTE I ONLY MARKED THE FIRST TIME OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE FULL DOC'S OF EVERY VISIT ON THESE ITEMS. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU, CRYSTAL DEL GIUDICE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS INVOLVING KELLY-SPRINGFIELD AQUA TREAD TIRES. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE TIRES TO SEPARATE THE SIDE WALLS AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. I PURCHASED TWO TIRES ON APRIL 12, 1996 AND TWO MORE ON FEBRUARY 1, 1997. ON 10/15/98 BECAUSE THE SIDEWALLS SEPARATED, I HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES. ON JUNE 6, 2001 WHILE TRAVELING OUT-OF-STATE, THE SIDEWALL SEPARATED ON ONE OF THE TIRES. BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND A DEALER IN THAT AREA AND IT WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS TO ORDER, I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES. TWO OF THE TIRES HAD 24,152 MILES AND THE OTHER TWO HAD 44,872. I HAVE TRIED GOING THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER, THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE ORGINAL TIRES FROM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST KELLY SPRINGFIELD FOR THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND SEEK RECALL INFORMATION. THE DOT # IS PJM0F8KR378GP.*AK (DOT NUMBER: PJM0F8KR37 TIRESIZE: 205-70R-15)
