GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

PURCHASED 2 NEW(?) WRANGLER ST TIRES FROM DEALER ON 11/09/2005 BUT DATE CODE ON TIRE WAS 2504 TO MATCH ORIGINAL 2 STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. BREAKS REDONE FRONT END ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. FRONT END OF TRUCK STILL VIBRATED AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON LEVEL ROAD. DEALER TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO IDENTIFY CAUSE OVER 2-3 YEARS. BALANCED AND REBALANCED THE TIRES. DID HIGH SPEED TEST IN SHOP. SUSPECTED TIRES, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY EXACT PROBLEM WITH TIRES. ON 30 OCT. 2010 WHILE TRAVELING @ 70MPH ON CLEAR DAY ON STRAIGHT INTERSTATE ROAD, FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED. ROAD WAS CLEAR, NOTHING WAS STRUCK BY TIRE, OUTSIDE TEMP WAS ABOUT 73 DEGREES F. TIRE WAS SHREDDED TO BITS AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 31K MILES ON IT. PLENTY OF TREAD AND NO UNUSUAL WEAR PATTERNS. TOOK TIRE TO DEALER AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT TIRES WITH COOPERS AND NOW THERE IS NO VIBRATION IN THE FRONT COMING FROM THE TIRES. *TR

FRONT TIRES THREW INSIDE TREAD. 21,000 MILES ON TIRES. GOODYEAR DENIES LIABILITY. ALL CARS OF THIS MAKE(JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE SRT8) ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH OEM TIRES. *TR

STARTED DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN ION FROM TAMPA TO ORLANDO. WHEN I NOTICE A VIBRATION THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE. IT GRADUALLY GREW WORSE SO I PULLED OVER. AT WHICH TIME SOMETHING FLEW OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. COMING TO A STOP, I CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAW NOTHING WRONG. I STARTED DRIVING, IN HOPES TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE VIBRATION GOT RIDICULOUS AND I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FLAT. UPON REMOVING THE TIRE, DISCOVERED A LARGE PIECE OF THREADING WAS MISSING ALONG WITH OTHER DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. WHICH IS WHY I DID NOT SEE IT THE FIRST TIME I PULLED OVER. TIRE IS THE GOOD YEAR ASSURANCE. *TR

2007 IS LEXUS LESS THEN 40,000 MI CAR PURCHASED BRAND NEW, TIRES KEEP GOING BAD ON THEM PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW.2009 WAS TOLD BY LEXUS CAR NEEDED A NEW SET OF TIRES BECAUSE TREAD WAS RUNNING LOW, WITH NO REASON AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED.GOT THE NEW SET OF TIRES.SUMMER 2010 DRIVING ON HWY TIRES CAME OFF CAR (FRONT PASS TIRE) HAD TO REPLACE TIRE, LEXUS SAID PROBABLY LOST AIR AND CAME OFF, ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS LATER, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. LEXUS SAID NEEDED NEW TIRE AGAIN AND THAT WAS IT. PURCHASED THE NEW TIRE AGAIN, NOW THE REAR RIGHT TIRE IS DOING THE SAME. SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT WITH THESE TIRES KEEP TAKING TO LEXUS THEY ARE NOT DOING A THROUGH SEARCH TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT. WENT TO GOODYEAR SINCE THAT'S WHO MADE THE TIRES, THEY SAID IT NEEDS NEW SEALING AND IF LEXUS WOULD HAVE LOOKED THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT. THIS IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT THIS TIME WITH THIS ISSUE STEADY HAPPENING. LEXUS OUTTA BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I HATE THIS LEMON I HAVE BECAUSE I KEEP MONEY INTO IT AND IT KEEPS HAVING ISSUES. *TR

REGARDING GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A EMT (RUNFLAT), SIZE 255/45R20, TIRES THAT COME AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8. THE FRONT TIRES HAVE SHOWN EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE SHOULDER LEADING TO THE TREAD SEPARATING FROM THE SIDEWALL IN UNDER THAN 14,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AS MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE, A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8, EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME WHEEL/TIRE PACKAGE FROM THE FACTORY EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURE TWICE WITHIN 40,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2007 COMMANDER, RECENTLY KEEPS ALARMING ME SERVICE PARK ASSIST WHILE LIGHTING UP ALL THE DRIVE BOXES, WHILE IM DRIVING. WHEN IT DOES THIS I CANNOT GIVE THE CAR GAS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. ITS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. USUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE TESTER, IT DOESN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING IS WRONG AND THEY MANUALLY SHUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. THE LATEST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AND IT DID THIS, I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE MY TWO KIDS WERE WITH ME AND I HAD TO CUT OVER THREE LANES, PULL OFF AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT. TODAY ALL THE DRIVE OPTIONS WERE BOXED IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER EVEN CAME ON, IT JUST WOULDN'T LET ME GAS AND I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING PULL OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTART. MY TIRES ARE ALSO SHOWING UP FOR LOW PRESSURE, AND THE TIRE DEALER TOLD ME THE TIRES ON THIS MODEL ARE KNOWN FOR SMALL HOLES AROUND THE OUTSIDE RING OF THE TREAD, WHICH OF COURSE CANNOT BE FILLED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2008 CHEVROLET ON 10/15/2010 AND THE DEALERSHIP PUT A CURRENT INSPECTION CERTIFICATE ON THE VEHICLE. DURING AN UNRELATED VISIT TO MY AUTO MECHANIC HE NOTICED THE TIRES ( FRONT ONLY ) AND STATED THEY WERE NOT GOOD AND IF HE WOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD HAVE PLACED A "REJECTION STICKER" ON THE M/V. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY WERE OK. WENT BACK TO AUTO MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME TO FILE COMPLAINT.
