THE REAR RIGHT AND LEFT BRAKE CALIPERS HAVE BOTH FAILED..THE LEFT ONE WAS COMPLETED REPLACED BACK IN 1993 DUE TO COMPLETE LOCK UP.THE RIGHT BRAKE AT THE TIME WAS OK. THEN THIS MONTH I HAD A BRAKE FAILURE IN MY DRIVEWAY..I KEPT TRYING TO MAKE THE PARKING BRAKE WORK FOR NMONTHS AND IT NEVER DID. THEN WHEN I TOOK THE WHEEL OFF TO LOOKS A THE BRAKES THE LEFT BRAKE HAD BURNED UP THE OUTBOARD SHOE ONLY AND NOT THE INBOARD SHOE..THIS CHEWED UP THE ROTOR. THE RIGHT SIDE HAD BEEN DOING NOTHING..THE SHOES STILL LOOKED NEW EXCEPT FOR DIRT..THE PUCKS HAD STUCK OUT AND LEFT THE SEALS ROLLED AND NOTHING WOULD RESET. IT FIRST COST ME $144.00 PLUS LABOR IN 1993 TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR CALIPER WHICH JUST FAILED AGAIN.

RIGHT REAR GOODYEAR CONQUEST TIRE, SERIAL NUMBER M6XOEDWR447, EXPLODED DISINTEGRATING THE RIGHT REAR SPLASH GUARD, ESTIMATED DAMAGE $195.00 PLUS $125.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRE. TIRES WERE NOT ORIGIANAL EQUIPMENT AND PLENTY OF TREADWARE REMAINING. PER THE GOODYEAR MECHANIC, THE FOLLOWING TOOK PLACE WITHIN 10 MILES AND LESS THAN 20 MINUTES: I PICKED UP A NAIL, THREW THE NAIL WHICH ALLOWED THE AIR TO ESCAPE, WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE BECAME TOO LOW THE TIRE CAME OFF THE RIM AND EXPLODED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD DUE TO THE EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE THAT OCCURRED WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED. DESPITE WHAT THE GOODYEAR DEALER OR GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IN THEIR REPONSE TO MY E-MAIL, I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS TIRE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I AM OBTAINING INFORMATION ON FILING A CLAIM AND WILL FILE ONE ONCE IT IS RECEIVED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE EXPLOSION RESULT.

THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON MY 1997 FORD ESCORT STATION WAGON ARE CRACKING ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL OR HAVE CRACKED THROUGH TO EXPOSE THE STEEL CORD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THEY DO NOT WARRANTY THE TIRES AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR DEALER WHERE THEY INSPECTED THE TIRES AND INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE LOOKED LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY SAID THAT GOODYEAR WOULD AUTHORIZE THEM TO GIVE ME A PARTIAL CREDIT FOR THE TIRES IF I REPLACED THEM WITH ANOTHER SET OF GOODYEAR TIRES BUT THAT THEY WOULD NOT EXCAHNGE THEM FOR NEW TIRES AT NO COST.*AK (DOT NUMBER: MD7J TIRESIZE: 185/65R14)
