GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

I HAVE HAD 4 TIRE FAILURES ON MY 1997 SATURN ION. ALL TIRES WERE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE 195/60/R15 TIRES. IN ONES INSTANCE, A TREAD SEPARATION OCCURRED. IN TWO INSTANCES, BUBBLES DEVELOPED ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL OF A FRONT TIRE. THE FOURTH INSTANCE ALSO HAD SIDEWALL DAMAGE, BUT WHETHER THERE WAS A BUBBLE FIRST IS NOT KNOW. THIS HAPPENED ON 1/22/2010, 11/5/2008. 1/26/2009 AND 7/16/2009, AT 26,000, 29,000, 34,000 AND 40,000 MILES. *TR

2 OF THE 4 GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES WE PURCHASED FROM SAMS CLUB ARE SHOWING SIDEWALL BULGES AND SEPARATION AFTER JUST 10 MONTHS. CONTACTED STORE THEY RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO REPLACE ONLY 2 OF THE TIRES ON A PRO-RATED BASIS. TIRE DETAILS: PURCHASED 3-8-09 MILES: 18,700 TYPE: GOODYEAR INTEGRITY P235/60R16 99 S. *TR

TRUCK SHAKES BETWEEN 45 AND 60. DOES IT ALL THE TIME. TOOK TO GMC DEALER AND THEY CHECK IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS THE WAY THE TRUCK WAS GET USED TO IT. CALLED DETROIT AND GOT THE SAME THING. IT'S NOT RIGHT. IT ALL STARTED WITH AROUND 14,000 MILES .THE TRUCK DIDN'T DO IT AT ALL UNTIL THEN. THE SERVICE STATION THAT I USE TO SERVICE IT FOUND THE TIRES TO BE OUT OF ROUND AND THE SIDEWALLS WERE COMING UNDONE. PUT A NEW SET OF TIRES ON AND IT HELPED A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT A GREAT DEAL. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO PUT WEIGHT IN THE BOX TO HELP. I TRIED AND IT DIDN'T HELP. ALL I WANT IS THE TRUCK MADE RIGHT. *TR

2004 HONDA ACCORD EX 5-SPEED MANUAL: DEC. 2009 WITH 1ST USE OF ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT GOODYEAR (T135/90D15 PART # 818216253) DONUT SPARE TIRE NOTICED ROUGH RIDE TO TIRE SHOP. ASK EMPLOYEE TO REPAIR MY FLAT AND LOOK OVER THE DONUT SPARE PLUS ROTATE TIRES. NOTHING UNUSUAL NOTED ON DONUT SPARE. JAN. 2010 HIT POTHOLE WITH REPAIRED TIRE WHICH CAUSES IT TO GO FLAT. INSTALLED GOODYEAR DONUT SPARE. NEXT MORNING NOTICED SPARE WAS FLAT. VALVE STEM BROKEN; ADDED AIR TWICE IN ORDER TO LIMP TO TIRE SHOP. THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH THE SPARE AND REFERRED ME TO HONDA. LEFT CAR AT TIRE STORE. NEXT MORNING WENT TO MY HONDA PARTS AND SERVICE DEALER LOCATION WITH SPARE. WE NOTICED A HARD BULGE IN SPARE SIDEWALL. SAID THEY DON'T WARRANTY ANY TIRES ONLY TIRE STORES DO. ONLY HELP THEY COULD GIVE ME WAS TO SEND ME TO A LOCAL TIRE SHOP. DISCOUNT TIRE TRIED IN VAIN TO LOCATE A NEW GOODYEAR DONUT SPARE AND COULD ONLY FIND A USED (MANUFACTURED WEEK 31 OF 1996) AFTER CONVINCING GOODYEAR THAT SPARE WAS DEFECTIVE (AIR BUBBLE FORMED INSIDE SPARE TIRE THEN TORE). HOW IS IT THAT GOODYEAR DOESN'T MAKE A WIDELY USED PRODUCT? OR HAVE THESE DONUT SPARES BEEN FRAUGHT WITH SUCH PROBLEMS THAT THE PRODUCT IS BEING OUTLAWED? *TR

BRAND NEW GOODYEAR TIRE WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT BLEW WHILE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. *TR

PRODUCT QUALITY DEFECT- POOR PRODUCT QUALITY OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES RECENTLY CREATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS. DUE TO THE RADIAL BAND SEPARATION ISSUE IN A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP TIRE (SIZE P275/60/20) THE TIRE CREATED EXCESSIVE BOUNCING AND WOBBLING OF THE TIRE AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH CREATING INABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY (WITH A BRIDGESTONE TIRE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. WHEN I CONTACTED GOODYEAR QUALITY DEPT. THEY ASKED I HAVE THE TIRE INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR DEALER, WHICH I DID, AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE RADIALS WHERE /COMPROMISED/BROKEN IN NUMEROUS PLACES. GOODYEAR DID OTHER A $45 REBATE ON MY NEXT GOODYEAR TIRE PURCHASE WHICH I DECLINED AS I WILL NOT PLACE MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND WELL BEING IN THEIR TRUST ANY LONGER NOR WILL I BE PURCHASING GOODYEAR TIRES. THE TIRE HAD APPROX 15000 MILES ON IT WITH ~50-60% TREAD LEFT. (CONFIRMED BY THE GOODYEAR DEALER.) NO EXPLANATIONS OR APOLOGIZES WERE OFFERED BY GY WHICH DISPLAYS THEIR DISTURBING LACK OF BUSINESS SAVVY. I HAVE 3 VEHICLES IN MY HOUSEHOLD AND WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT SUCH BUSINESS PRACTICES BY PURCHASING UNSAFE PRODUCTS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS TIRE ON INTERNET BLOGS BUT THOUGHT IT BEST TO OFFICIALLY POST TO NHTSA. I ALSO OBSERVED INFORMATION REGARDING PRODUCT SAFETY CLAIMS BY THE STEELWORKERS UNION (LINK ON YOUR WEBSITE) REGARDING THE SAFETY/QUALITY OF GOODYEAR TIRES AROUND THE SAME TIME BY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED. (NOT SURE IF MY TIRE WAS PRODUCED IN THE SAME FACTORY) I WOULD LIKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT ISSUED TO GOODYEAR IF FEASIBLE AND/OR AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. (GOODYEAR CLAIM NUMBER 1089986). *TR

YOU LOSE TOTAL CONTROL AND CANNOT STEER THE VEHICLE. *TR
