GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

I HAD A NAIL IN MY TIRE AND WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED. UPON REMOVING TIRE THE TECH INFORMED ME AND SHOWED ME THAT THE INNER PART OF THE GOOD YEAR TIRE 215/50R17 WAS CRACKED. I HAD TIRE REPLACED WITH 2007 GOOD YEAR TIRE I HAD SAVED FROM MY LAST PURCHASE, THAT HAD SIDE WALL ISSUES ALSO. I REPLACED ALL TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND, DID NOT KEEP THE TIRES. MY PREVIOUS TIRES WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2003 WERE ALSO GOOD YEAR AND THEY HAD DRY-ROT ( I WAS LED TO BELIEVE AT THE TIME) I GOT THEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AT THAT TIME 2007 WITH ANOTHER SET OF GOOD YEAR 215/50R17. NOW I HAVE DUNLOPS 215/50R17 PURCHASED 7/21/2011 HOPING TO DO BETTER. I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS OF HELP IN POSSIBLY PREVENTING A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE. UPDATED 09/06/11 *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CORROLLA THAT CAME OUTFITTED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIREE 89S. I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. A QUICK INSPECTION OF THE TIRE DIDN'T SHOW ANY PUNCTURES ON THE MAIN TREAD BUT THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE SIDEWALL. CALLED GOODYEAR TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER OCCURANCES SO I'M SHARING MINE. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. THE TIRES HAD 13,500 MILES TOTAL AS DOES MY CAR. *TR

SIDEWALL BUBBLE ON RIGHT FRONT GOODYEAR RUN FLAT EXCELLENCE 245/40R19 94Y. DOT NE66 JF1R 1510 ONLY 8400 MILES! VEHICLE IS 2011 BMW 550I WHICH HAS BEEN DRIVEN GENTLY. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 IMPALA SS ON 11/17/09 WITH 33,003 MILES ON IT. ON JULY 20, 2011 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH MY WIFE AND STEPSON ON THE I-94 FREEWAY IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI., THE LEFTSIDE REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. WE NOTICE THAT IT HAD BROKE THE INNER PLASTIC PIECE AND BENT THE MUFFLER TIP AND THERE WAS CLEARLY NO RUBBER LEFT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE ALL YOU SAW WAS WIRES. HAD TO PUT OUR SPARE TIRE ON. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TIRE SHOP ON JULY 22, 2011 TO HAVE THAT TIRE REPLACED, SERVICE GUY SAID THERE WAS NO RUBBER LEFT ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT TIRE IN THE REAR, AND THE WIRES WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE AND SHOWED US THEM, WHICH WE HAD NOTICED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HE ALSO STATED THAT ON THE REAR RIGHTSIDE THE WIRES WERE SHOWING TOO. WE HAD HIM REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED THAT WE HAD BEEN THE 4TH IMPALA THEY HAD REPLACED TIRES ON IN THE PAST WEEK. WHILE ON THE LIFT WE NOTICED THAT THE BACK TIRES WERE SLIGHTLY LEANING OUT, LIKE (/) LEFT SIDE AND (\) RIGHT SIDE, I TOLD HIM THAT I WANT THE TIRES BACK AND HE GAVE THEM TO ME. WE TOOK THEM HOME AND TOOK PICKS OF THEM AND THE BACK OF OUR CAR TO SHOW HOW THE TIRES WERE STILL LEANING OUT, AND ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF WHERE THE PLASTIC HAD BEEN BROKE IN THE WHEEL WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND TOLD THE SERVICE GUY WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AS OF YET ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD CAME IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS, THAT I SHOULD GET AHOLD OF GM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE POLICE VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT AS OF YET KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ALL OTHERS. HE STATED THAT HE WISHED HE COULD DO SOMETHING FOR US BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. WHEN IS GM GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

I OWNED A 2011 535I BMW WITH SPORT PACKAGE AND I PURCHASED IT ON OCTOBER 2010 WITHIN 9 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE 4 OF THE TIRES WHICH WAS GOODYEAR EXCELLENCE RFT - 2 X 245/40 R19 94Y (FRONT), 2 X 275/35 R19 96Y (REAR) THEY WERE ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. FIRST ONE WAS A PUNCTURE AND THE REST OF THE OTHER THREE THERE WERE BUBBLE(S) ON IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE. TRAFFIC CAUSED ME TO BRAKE HARD AND TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO AVOID COLLISION. MOMENTS LATER, I GET A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. WHEN I EXIT TO A GAS STATION, THE TIRE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY FLAT AND IS OFF THE RIM. IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE THAT RECEIVED THE MOST FORCE FROM BRAKING. IT APPEARS THE FORCE CAUSED A BREAK IN THE SEAL WITH THE RIM. SUBSEQUENTLY THE TIRE AND POSSIBLY THE RIM WERE DAMAGED. THE CAR IS A 2011 TAURUS WITH 700 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALREADY TAKING THE POSITION THAT THIS SCENARIO COULD NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THE TIRE WAS ALREADY LOW ON PRESSURE SUCH AS FROM A PUNCTURE. I AM STATING THE TIRE WAS NOT LOW ON PRESSURE BEFORE THE BRAKING INCIDENT. THERE WAS NO LOW PRESSURE INDICATION UNTIL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BRAKING INCIDENT. *KB

I HAVE HAD 8 BENT RIMS AND HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIRES DUE TO MULTIPLE BUBBLES IN EACH TIRE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2010. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. *KB

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE AFTER GOING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE AT UNDER 30MPH. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER 3 MONTHS AND 1,800 MILES. *TT THESE STOCK TIRES ON 2011 BMW 535I AWD WITH SPORT PACKAGE -- GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 ROF SIZE 245/40R19 -- CLEARLY HAVE A DESIGN FLAW OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MUST BE RECALLED. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN DRIVING OVER VERY MINOR ROAD HAZARDS MIGHT CAUSE TIRE BLISTERS THAT COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A BLOWOUT.
