GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATOR SYSTEM FAILURE AND REQUESTS THE NEED FOR A REPORT THAT INCLUDES AVERAGE AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF FAILURE RATES FOR KEY SAFETY VEHICLE COMPONENTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER THE ACCELERATOR SYSTEM FAILED. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A STRANGE PROTECTED MODE AND WOULD BARELY MOVE FORWARD. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IT WAS A PART THAT FAILED FREQUENTLY. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY DATA ON ACCELERATOR SYSTEM ISSUES. MORE RECENTLY, ONE OF THE GOODYEAR TIRES TREAD SEPARATED, WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS THE THIRD TIRE FAILURE EXPERIENCED. *JB

GOODYEAR TIRES CRACKING, ALL FOUR TIRES, P245/6517 FORTERA SILENT ARMOR PURCHASED JULY 22, 2010. TIRE IDENTIFICATION: DOT PJ8T 65HR 1910, APPROXIMATE 23,000 MILES, TREAD DEPTH REMAINING 8/32. THESE TIRES ARE CRACKING IN THREADS, CIRCUMFERENCE AND RIM LINE. I HAVE CONTRACTED GOODYEAR CASE #1402275. THEY WILL GIVE ME A TIRE CREDIT OF $182.82, I FEEL THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THERE IS NO ABUSE ON THESE TIRES, WELL MAINTAINED, NO CUPPING. I HAVE MANY PICTURES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL. I WILL BE PURCHASING NEW TIRES 06-09-2014. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES, SIZE P205/55/R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BUBBLE HAD DEVELOPED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE TREAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TREAD BELT WAS SEPARATING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,825.

2012 FORD FOCUS 24,000 MILES. DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PAIR OF TIRES HAD SEVERE ABNORMAL WEAR. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED PER CAR MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATIONS. DEALER REPORTED THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND PURCHASING A NEW PAIR OF TIRES WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. UPON MY INVESTIGATION, CUPPING IN A 2012 FORD FOCUS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT TO THE REAR SUSPENSION. CUPPING ALSO REDUCES TRACTION AND BRAKING POWER. MY CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY, AND BELIEVE THE CAR MANUFACTURE HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY DESIGN THE GEOMETRY OF THE SUSPENSION CORRECTLY TO MEET. *TR

GOODYEAR ALLEGRA P205 75R15 SIDEWALL SEPARATION AND CRACKING LEAD TO BLOWOUT. INNER SIDEWALL SHOWED CRACKING AND RIPPLING AS THOUGH CHORDS WERE BROKEN. ONLY 25,000 MILES AS MY DAILY DRIVER, NO HEAVY LOADS. *TR

ON 4 NOVEMBER 2013, I PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A TIRES FROM THE SEARS AUTO STORE AT 3000 TOWN EAST MALL IN MESQUITE, TX. APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS LATER AND LESS THAN 300 MILES ON THE TIRES, THE LEFT REAR TIRES COMPLETELY CAME A PART WHILE DRIVING ON LBJ FREEWAY WESTBOUND IN DALLAS, TX. MY APPROXIMATELY SPEED WAS BETWEEN 55-65 MPH. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE BRAND AND IDENTIFICATION NUMBER? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A GOODYEAR, TIRE LINE: MARATHON, TIRE SIZE: 230/7.5R16 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRED TREAD SEPARATED PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SIX TIMES AND EACH WITH DIFFERENT TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. DR

MY CAR WOULD SHIMMY AS IF THE TIE ROD WAS GOING BAD, AND THE TIRE IN QUESTION WOULD BE FLAT NEARLY EVERY MORNING. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS I MADE IT TO HARTINGTON, NE TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER. UPON INSPECTION THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE MADE IT THERE BECAUSE THE BELTS SEPARATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WHERE I WOULD HAVE NEVER SEEN WHAT WAS HAPPENING. BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED AT GREAT EXPENSE. I NOW HAVE HANKOOK TIRES AND WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY GOODYEAR TIRES AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

SET OF 4 NEW GOODYEAR VIVA 2 TIRES PURCHASED FROM WAL-MART. ONE TIRE FAILED DUE TO SIDEWALL SEPARATION AT 72 MPH. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE FROM MIDDLE LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER. WAL-MART REPLACED THE TIRE. TIRES HAVE ABOUT 2,900 MILES. *TR

ON 7/2/2013 I BOUGHT TWO TIRES:GOODYEAR P235/65R17 103H AMAX AT SAM'S CLUB, AND OTHER TWO ON 4/16/2013.AFTER DRIVING LESS THAT 5,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES, COMING ON I95 AT NIGHT AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND TWO MINUTES LATER MY CRV JEEP LIBERTY 2007 STARTED TO ZIGZAG. AFTER GAINING CONTROL OF THE CAR I STOP TO THE RIGHT OF THE HWY AND TO MY DISBELIEF MY RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD DETREAD COMPLETELY. I FEEL MY LIFE WAS SPARED, THAT IS THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT. WHEN I SEARCH FOR OTHER INFORMATION I FOUND IN HERE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I WILL BE CONTACTING GOODYEAR. BUT WANT THAT THIS AGENCY LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *TR
