GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

GOODYEAR ATS, LT305/70R16, DOT UNKNOWN WITH 50000 MILES, REPLACEMENT TIRE ON A 1993, CHEVROLET, BLAZER . WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD TREAD SEPARATION. *AK

I HAVE HAD 4 FLAT TIRES SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES, BUT AFTER THE FOURTH FLAT, AND SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I REALIZED IT WAS THE CAR. THE RIMS BEND, RELEASING AIR AND THE TIRES GO FLAT. THEN THE RIM WRECKS THE TIRE, AND BENDS FURTHER. ESSENTIALLY, IT IS A CAR THAT CAN'T EVEN BE DRIVEN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TO ALSO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES BUT DIDN'T TELL ME UNTIL LATER, AND SOLD THE CAR TO ME WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES ON IT. AT $200 A PEICE, IT REALLY ADDS UP. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONTINUE TO DRAG THEIR FEET. I FEEL THESE CARS SHOULD BE RE-CALLED, ESPECIALLY AFTER HEARING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SEBRING OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. (TIRESIZE: 2155017)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2155017 )

THE FIRST TIRE FAILED AS THE TREAD PARTIALLY SEPARATED AND WENT FLAT ON A FREEWAY TH IS WAS ON 12/02/2000 AT APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES.

I AM MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. PUMP USED TO LAST DECADES AND WOULD SLOWLY GIVE OUT. MY GMC MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS AN ALL TO COMMON PROBLEM. VEHICLES OFTEN ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMPS, AND OEM MANUFACTURER REPLACEMENT PUMPS FAIL JUST A BADLY. WAS DRIVING WHILE PUMP WENT IMMEDIATELY DEAD. TOOK ALL MY FORCE TO STEER VEHICLE SAFELY HOME. THIS IS A BIG DANGER FOR THE PUBLIC. I HAVE POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AND WILL BE BUGGING MY US CONGRESSMAN, [XXX], TO GET ON TOP OF THIS. [XXX] PUMP WILL COST ME 240 BUCKS JUST FOR THE PART BEFORE LABOR. THE GOODYEAR ORGINAL TIRES WERE OLD ANYWAY. FORGET ABOUT THOSE, BUT THE FRONT TIRES SPLIT RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE!
