GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

TIRES WEAR OUT EXCEPTIONALLY FAST. DEALERSHIP AUTHORIZED REPLACEMENT OF 4 TIRES IN MARCH 2000. AT THIS TIME, THE TRUCK HAD APPROX. 16,500 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME WEAR AND NUMEROUS BULGES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER HAVING THESE 4 TIRES REPLACED, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 20 MPH TO MAKE A TURN, A TIRE BLEW. THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE RIM ON BOTH EDGES AND WAS JUST CENTERED, HANGING LOOSELY FROM THE RIM, TOTALLY DEFLATED. I WENT AHEAD AND PULLED INTO A STATION ABOUT 20 YARDS AWAY, WHERE I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND WAS ABLE TO CENTER THE TIRE ON THE WHEEL & REINFLATE IT. THE TIRE HELD PRESSURE & I WAS ABLE TO FINISH ERRANDS & THEN GO TO GOODYEAR. AT THIS TIME, GOODYEAR TELLS ME I HIT A NAIL. THEY PLUGGED THE TIRE, BUT TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS MY NEW TIRES, WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES, WERE BADLY WORN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME TO RETURN TO GOODYEAR FOR ADJUSTMENT. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM, DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE TIRES OR THE TRUCK?? WHEN THE TIRE CAME LOOSE, I BUMPED THE CURB & SUSTAINED ABOUT $1000 OF DAMAGE, REAR AXLE, BEARINGS, ROTOR ETC. HOW CAN A TIRE TOTALLY SEPERATE FROM THE RIM & THEN BE REINFLATED WITHOUT REPAIR? WHY DO THE TIRES ON THIS TRUCK KEEP WEARING OUT? ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER CUSTOMER TODAY AT HUDIBURG WITH A SIMILAR PROBLM. THEY WERE REPLACING 2 TIRES FOR HIM AFTER REPLACING ALL 5 TIRES PREVIOUSLY. WISH THEY WERE AS CONSIDERATE IN MY CASE, INSTEAD OF SENDING ME BACK TO DEAL WITH GOODYEAR MYSELF!! HERE I SIT WITH A 1999 SIERRA WHICH NEEDS NEW TIRES..THERE HAS TO BE A REASON WHY THEY WEAR OUT SO RAPIDLY??WHY WOULD A TIRE SEPERATE FROM THE RIM/ THEN BE ABLE TO BE REINFLATED WITHOUT REPAIR??*AK( DOT NUMBER: PD3DDAWR27 TIRE SIZE: 23575R16 )

THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN NORMAL AND HOT. ONE SECOND, YOU LOOK AT THE GAUGE, IT IS NORMAL, ONE SECOND LATER IT IS HOT. WHEN YOU START THE CAR COLD, THE ANTIFREEZE DOES NOT CIRCULATE, IT GOES INTO THE RESERVOIR BOTTLE, AND THEN COMES OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE CHANGED THE WATER PUMP, THE RADIATOR CAP, AND THE THERMOSTAT THREE TIMES.IT DOES HAVE A DRIVERSIDE AIRBAG, BUT IT HAS NEVER DEPLOYED.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P3515 )

TIRE RIMS ARE TOO SOFT!!!! HAVE REPLACE 2 RIMS AND HAVE OWNED VEHICLE LESS THAN 18 MONTHS. DOOR PANELS ARE DEFECTIVE!!! SUNROOF UPHOLSTERY IS DEFECTIVE. ENGINE ROARS. OVER DRIVE BUTTON IS LOCATED IN A BAD PLACE. INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONFUSING BETWEEN PANEL INSTRUCTIONS AND O/D MANUEL. I LOVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR....BUT I HATE IT! AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRE FAILURE ADDMITTTEDLY DUE TO FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. SERVICE BULLETIN DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS TIRES WERE UNUSABLE AT 30,000 DEALER ADJUSTED ALIGNMENT AS PER SB. THE REPLACED TIRES WERE IN IDENTICAL CONDITION AT 60,000. GOOD YEAR WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE THE BELTS HAD WORN THRU INSIDE OF TIRES DUE TO ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS (IDENTICAL PROBLEM)...( DOT NUMBER: )

IT WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE EACH PROBLEM. ALL PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE LISTED ARE COMPLETELY TRUE. I CAN SAY WITH COMPLETE CERTAINTY THAT THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED AFTER THE 75000 MILE WARANTY I BOUGHT WAS OVER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EGR VALVE WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED JUST TO HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. ALSO THE DEALER REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR WHICH AGAIN IS FAILING AGAIN. THE HORN/AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ALSO REPLACED BY THE DEALER. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL REPAIRES BY THE DEALER WAS (A) BEFORE THE WARANTY HAD EXPIRED, AND (B) I HAD TO CALL CHRYSLER AND COMPLAIN JUST TO HAVE THOSE THINGS FIXED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SO I KNOW THESE PROBLEMS TO EXIST. THE DEALER, INSTEAD OF FIXING MY CAR, WHICH THEY WON'T DO, THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND I COULD NOT BE MORE DISSATISFIED WITH A "NEW CAR" THAN WE ARE WITH THIS ONE. BELIEVE ME, IF WE WERE TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS CAR'S TRACK RECORD, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE PURCHASED IT. I GUESS THATS ALL I HAVE, THANK YOU.R *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P1856014 )
