MICHELIN TIRES Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING NOTICE VIBRATION. HAD TIRES SERVICED, AND TECHICIAN STATED THAT TIRES HAD STARTED SEPARATING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

MICHELIN ROADHANDLER SPORT LEFT REAR TIRE, ISZE P185/70R13, DOT HHFMWKP07, HAD TREAD SEPARATION AND A BUBBLE, TIRE ONLY HAD 18000 MILES ON IT. *SLC

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME A DODGE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED BY US. THE FIRST TIME WAS A DODGE CARAVAN-V6, PROBABLY A 1990 BUT I AM NOT SURE. MILEAGE WAS JUST OVER 60,000. THIS TIME IT IS A 1994 DODGE INTREPID, PERHAPS THE SAME TYPE OF TRANSMISSION AT 87,000 MILES. MY FEELING IS THAT DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW AND THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE CARS WITH TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL AT WHAT I CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE MILEAGE. TO HAVE TO PAY $1,790 TO REBUILD A TRANSMISSION ON A '94 CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE PERSON WHO REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION TOLD US THAT HE DOES A LOT OF DODGE'S AND THAT IF THEY PUT IN A DIFFERENT SHIFT KIT THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. *AK (TIRESIZE: 15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 )

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE MECHANICS CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED OF HAVING SLOW LEAKS , THE MECHANIC HAS FOUND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THAT THE CAUSE WAS A SMALL PIECE OF PAPER, THE TIRES UPC STICKER, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE TIRE TO SEAL PROPERLY (THESE MANUFACTURERS HAVE THIS STICKER ON SOME OF THEIR LINES OF TIRES; MICHELIN, FIRESTONE, GOODYEAR AND B.F GOODRICH). NLM

THE RIGHT REAR INSIDE DUAL TIRE BLEWOUT, SIDEWALL HAD QUARTER SIZE HOLE LOCATED 1' ABOVE TREAD, DEALER SAID BLOWOUT OCCURED DUE TO ROAD HAZARD, CONSUMER SAID THE TIRE FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (MICHELIN 235/80R22.5/14XRV). NLM

BELTS SEPARATED ON FRONT TIRES. *AK (TIRESIZE: 215R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 215R15 )

MICHELIN TIRES P235/80R22.5 XRV DOT B6BJBVJX1100 EXPERIENCE BLOWOUTS, THERE HAVE BEEN 4 TIRE FAILURES, SIDEWALLS ARE SEPARATING FROM CASING. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE CAME APART. THE TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT IN MULTIPLE AREAS. THE RESPONDING TROOPER ADVISED IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST HE HAD SEEN AND SIMILAR TO THE FIRESTONE PROBLEM. *AK (TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES IN A MONTH AND A HALF. THE CAR SHAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS AND AT IDLE (DEALER SAYS UNBELIVABLE SHAKE IS NORMAL). WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME IT STARTS TO VIBRATE AND HESITATE AT HIGH SPEEDS THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHOLE SUSPENSION OF THE CAR IS NOT SECURE. THE BRAKES ON THE CAR HAVE ALSO BEEN FIXED OR CHECKED 4 TIMES - IT IS VERY HARD TO BREAK. THEIR IS ALSO A VERY HESITATION IN THE ENGINE WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT FEELS LIKE THERE MAY BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR AN ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEM. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH USED TIRES BECAUSE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THERE WAS A FLAT SPOT ON THE TIRES. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE REPLACING THE BAD TIRES WITH NEW GOOD TIRES (HOPING THAT ALL THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WAS DUE TO JUST THE BAD TIRES) THEY REPLACED THEM WITH USED TIRES AND DIDN'T BALANCE AND ALIGN THEM (THIS IS ON THE FORTH VISIT TO THE DEALER). THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND GETTING WORSE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M3TA TIRESIZE: 195/65R15)
