GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

WRANGLER GTS, SIZE AND DOT UNKNOWN, REPLACEMENT TIRES ON A 1996, FORD, EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH LEFT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. TIRE HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. TIRES HAD BROWN DISCOLORATION ON SIDEWALL. DEALER DID NOT REPLACE BLOWNOUT TIRE FREE OF CHARGE. REPLACED TIRE WITH DISCOLORATION STILL ON VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE A INTERMITTENT CYCLIC VIBRATION AT SPEEDS FROM 65MPH AND ABOVE. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED 3 OF THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ROUND. THIS HELPED THE PROBLEM, BUT DIDN'T CURE IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TWICE MORE AND ALTHOUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER ,AFTER TAKING A TEST DRIVE WITH ME, AGREES THAT THE VIBRATION IS STILL THERE, THEY SAY THEY HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. HE SAYS HE TESTED ANOTHER PT CRUISER AND IT HAS THE SAME FEEL. I HAVE TALKED THIS OVER WITH THE OWNERS SON AND I AM NOW TOLD THAT I MUST JUST LIVE WITH IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. *AK (TIRESIZE: P205/55R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/55R16 )
