GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE BELTWAY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. TIRE WENT COMPLETELY FLAT. CONSUMER REMOVED TIRE AND NOTICED THE TIRE HAD DISENTERGRATED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

TIRES WERE INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR STANDARD - ON THE ROAD - USE. AT NO TIME PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE WAS IT REPORTED THAT, AS EQUIPPED, THE OWNERS MANUAL PROHIBITED THE USE OF TIRE CHAINS OR TRACTION DEVICES ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS SEVERLY RESTRICTS USE OF THE VEHICLE. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT WHO REFUSED TO HEAR THE CASE AS IT WAS NOT "BROKEN". RATHER THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS LIMITED BY DESIGN. THE INABILITY TO USE TIRE CHAINS OR TRACTION DEVICES REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WHEN USED ON THE ROADS DURING WINTER MONTHS. DAIMLERCHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION AND THE DEALER OF PURCHASE POINT FINGERS TO EACH OTHER, ADVISING THAT EACH IS A FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH THE OTHER PARTY. REPEATED CALLS TO DAIMLERCHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION AND THE DEALER OF PURCHASE HAVE FAILED TO DISCOVER THE REASON FOR THE RESTRICTION. CONSEQUENTLY, I MUST ASSUME THAT TIRE CHAIN USE WOULD REPRESENT AN OPERATIONAL RISK.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255/65/15 )

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WEARING TOO FAST; ONLY HAD TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR AND ALREADY HAVING TO REPLACE A SECOND TIME; IT IS ONLY DRIVEN 5 MILES TO AND FROM WORK EVERY DAY, AND REGULAR EVERYDAY USE; ALSO, TWO TIRES FAILED AT SAME TIME AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.( DOT NUMBER: )

WHILE DRIVING, GOODYEAR RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION, P245/75R16, DOT MK11C20V306, ALMOST CAUSING CONSUMER TO DRIVE IN A DITCH. *SLC

WHEN TRUCK REACHES SPEEDS OF 60 MPH OR MORE, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL, VIBRATE AND RIDE IS NOT SMOOTH.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

WHILE DRIVING 55-65MPH ON BELTWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. TIRE WENT COMPLETELY FLAT INSTANTLY. HAD TAKEN TIRE OFF & IT HAD DISENTERGRATED FROM TOP SEAMS. WAS RIPPED APART IN 6/7 PLACES. *AK

ABS NOT WORKING. BREAK PROBLEMS REPLACED AT 19,000 MILES AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. NOISE COMING OUT OF THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 )

HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FLAT TIRES (NO NAILS) ON THE FRONT TIRES ONLY AT THE EDGE OF THE TREAD. YESTERDAY, THE RIGHT FRONT EXPLODED AT 65 MPH. THE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM BOTH SIDE WALLS AT THE EDGE OF THE TREAD (THE SAME POINT THAT ALL PUNCTURES HAVE OCCURED). IT ROLLED OVER AND STAYED UNDER THE RIM WHICH MADE STOPPING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. A SLIGHT TOUCH OF THE BREAK CAUSED THE CAR TO TURN SIDEWAYS. TOOK 150 YARDS TO STOP. CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIM AND INNER PANEL. I HAVE RACED CARS OFF AND ON FOR YEARS AND ALMOST LOST THIS ONE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT ADEQUATELY RE-ENFORCED AT THE JOINT OF THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD. ALL FLATS AND FAILURES ON THE DRIVE WHEELS. THE TIRES WERE JUST ROTATED AND THE TIRE THAT FAILED CAME FROM THE BACK AND NEVER HAD A FLAT. ALSO, THE R/T HAS RACING SUSPENSION AND WILL LET YOU KNOW IF A TIRE IS LOW. IT HAS A VERY NOTICEABLE PULL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OTHER THAN 2 SECONDS OF WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A MAJOR EXHAUST LEAK. NO VIBRATION, NO PULL, JUST NOISE. THEN A LARGE BANG. I HAVE TALKED TO TWO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE CHRYSLER FRONT WHEEL DRIVER CARS AND BOTH HAVE REPLACED THEIR TIRES DUE TO NUMEROUS FLATS. AM GOING OUT ON THE WEB TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.( DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRE SIZE: P185/65R14 )

REPEATED INCIDENTS OF UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR; THIS VEHICLE NOW HAS 21,900 MILES ON IT AND IT IS ON LITERALLY ITS THIRD SET OF TIRES. THE TIRES KEEP CUPPING AND CAUSING THE VAN TO BECOME MISALIGNED; CARIBOU FORD HAS HAD THIS VEHICLE IN ITS SHOP IN EXCESS OF 10 TIMES FOR THIS AND OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS. THE SHIFT CABLE THEN BROKE (THANKFULLY) WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF I'D BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR ELSEWHERE, MOVING. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINT CONCERNING THE TIRE WEAR/MISALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOWER AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM, WHICH I DO CONSIDER A SAFETY PROBLEM. YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. I APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/7 )
