MICHELIN TIRES Complaints

DURING EXIT OF HIGHWAY LEFT FRONT TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT RESULTING IN HITING ROPE GUARDRAIL CAUSING $5800 DAMAGE TO CAR. ONLY 30K MILES ON TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 195/60RL4 )

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE RAN OVER TWO CENTER BLOCKS AND SLAMMED INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: N/A TIRE SIZE: N/A )

NOT A TIRE PROBLEM, ALL ARE UP TO SPECK. BAD SHAKE IN STEARING WHEEL. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P185/70/14 )

THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPENED THE FIRST WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SEAL BROKE ON THE TIRE THEY SAID AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT WITHOUT MY ACKOWLEDGEMENT AND I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE BECAUSE THE INSIDE TUBE WAS RUINED. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO GET DIFFERENT TIRES RESEALED BECAUSE THE SEAL BREAKS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FEEL ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE RIM. ON 12/31/98 I HAD TO GET ONE RESEALED AGAIN AND SINCE THEN THE TIRE STILL LOOKS LOW AND I HAVE TO PUT AIR IN IT ONCE A WEEK.( DOT NUMBER: )

THE TRUCK HAS HAD CHRONIC BRAKE PULL PROBLEMS - EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE. THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN RESPONSIVE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN QUESTION. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER; CHRYSLER HAS BEEN VERY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE PROBLEM. THE PULL IS SO BAD THAT THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE LANES WHILE BRAKING. I AM NOT SURE IF NHTSA REALLY DOES ANYTHING, BUT IF THEY STAND FOR SAFETY, THEN THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE VERY SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BRAKE PULL PROBLEMS, PLEASE REFER TO: HTTP://WWW.CARTRACKERS.COM/FORUMS/MESSAGES/164.MECHGOBLINS.HTML. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75 )

POSSIBLE SUSPENSION PROBLEM THAT MUST CREATE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE TIRES AND CAUSES THE CAR TO WOBBLE AT LOW SPEEDS. TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT ONE-HALF OR LESS OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE. DEALER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MICHELIN KNEW HOW TO TREAT THE SYMPTOM, PUT A NEW SET OF TIRES ON THE CAR, BUT NOT NECESSARILY HOW TO CURE THE PROBLEM. ANYONE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT? SOUNDS LIKE NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: SB052078 TO ME. IS THE COMPLETE BULLETIN AVAILABLE ANYWHERE? DEALER REFERRED ME TO HAVE WHEELS ALIGNED AT GOODYEAR WHO SENT ME TO MICHELIN BECAUSE OF A BELT SEPARATION.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R16 )

THE INSIDE TREAD OF MICHELIN TIRE IS SHREADING OFF. DEAL HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

NOTICED NOISE FROM LT SIDE OF VEHICLE, CHECKED BRAKES OUT RIGHT SIDE WAS FINE LEFT SIDE BRAKE WAS DOWN TO THE METAL. VAN IS ONLY 1997 MODEL AND THEY TOLD ME THE CALIPER NEEDED REPLACED . I DONT THINK THIS ITEM SHOULD NEED REPLACED IN ONLY ONE YEAR . IS IT POSSIBLY A PROBLEM OR IS THIS NORMAL. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT IN NOVEMBER OF 1998 AND THE PROBLEM OCCURED IN DECEMBER OF 1998. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.( DOT NUMBER: )
