DODGE Complaints

IN REGARDS TO COOPER TIRES THE MANUFACTURER INFO AND DOT NUMBER TO FOLLOW. I HAVE HAD TWO TIRES WITH FAILURE TO THE RADIAL BELT. ON 8/4/19 I WAS ON MY WAY TO FT. WORTH TEXAS WHEN I THE FRONT LEFT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTED THUMPING. I WAS ON HWY 10 IN EAST TEXAS NEAR CANTON AND IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER SO I CONTINUED DRIVING SLOWLY WHICH WAS VERY STRESSFUL. THE TIRE DID BLOW BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF AT A REST AREA (THANK YOU JESUS). I CALLED AAA AND THEY SENT A FAMILY OWNED TOW TRUCK SERVICE OUT. THE MAN SAID I HAD A BULGE IN THE WHAT REMAINED AND TOWED MY VAN TO A WALMART 13 MILES AWAY IN CANTON, I OWED HIM AT THAT POINT $27 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE TOW. HE THEN DROVE ME TO A PET FRIENDLY BEST WESTERN BECAUSE I HAD MY DOG WITH ME. I SPENT APPOX. $120 FOR THE ROOM, PLUS MEAL OF APPROX. $21. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A RIDE FROM AN EMPLOYEE AT THE HOTEL TO WALMART, PAID $128.66 FOR A NEW TIRE, THEN LATER THAT WEEK BALANCING OF $40 AT DISCOUNT TIRE IN DALLAS, TX. BECAUSE WALMART COULD NOT BALANCE THE NEW TIRE DUE TO EQUIPMENT BEING BROKEN. I HAD ANOTHER TIRE GO BAD, WITH TREAD SHIFT A YEAR LATER IN ANOTHER CLAIM FILED WITH YOU. THE REMAINING TWO TIRES I LEFT AT WALMART, AFTER PURCHASING FOUR NEW MATCHING GOODYEAR I SPENT $312.66 ON 9/26/20. AFTER THE SECOND TIRE WENT BAD I CONTACTED JULIE AT COOPER CALL REF# 23-167554 AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES WERE UNDER WARRANTY AND TO RETURN THEM TO WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH THE NEW COOPER'S ON IT WHICH WAS IN 2018. I DID AND WAS TOLD BY PAMELA CARTER THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE AUTO NATION ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE TIRES, BUT DID ADMIT THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. ALL FILED ON A SEPARATE INCIDENT REPORT WITH NHTSA #11362968. IN CONCLUSION, TTWO BAD COOPER TIRES, THE REMAINING TWO I GAVE TO WALMART AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY WILL ALSO BLOW OUT. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL RECALL THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES: DOT U94C 1CW 0715 COOPER M+S 235/60R16 GRAND TOURING

IN REGARDS TO COOPER TIRES THE MANUFACTURER INFO AND DOT NUMBER TO FOLLOW. I HAVE HAD TWO TIRES WITH FAILURE TO THE RADIAL BELT SHIFT. ONE TIRE BLEW OUT ON A TRIP TO TEXAS, I DO NOT HAVE IT, BUT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT HAD A "BULGE" AND FAILED. UNDER STRESSFUL CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE. THE SECOND TIRE FAILED LOCALLY AND I HAVE KEPT THE TIRE AND CAN SEND A PIC AND ALSO HAVE A STATEMENT ON THE RECEIPT FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT HAD PUT THE TIRES ON SAYING IT WAS A "BELT SHIFT" THERE IS A PROMINENT "BULGE" IN THE TIRE. I HAD ORIGINALLY CONTACTED COOPER TIRES JULIE CALL REF # 23-167554 ON 9/23/20 11:02 AM, REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND THEY DENIED KNOWLEDGE OR RESPONSIBILITY AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT WHICH WAS NISSAN AUTO NATION BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. AUTO NATION PAMELA CARTER SAID ON 9/24/20 THEY THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THEY PURCHASED THE TIRES AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED SO I WAS NOT THE PURCHASER. THEY DO ADMIT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE, WHICH I HAVE IN WRITING ON INVOICE 1236567. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR THE DOT NUMBER FOR RECALL AND IT IS LISTED ONLINE BUT THE MANUFACTURER AS BRIDGESTONE, WHICH IS POSSIBLY A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. HERE IS THE INFO: DOT U94C 1CW 0715 COOPER M+S 235/60R16 GRAND TOURING

WHILE DRIVING ON NORMAL PAVED ROAD, NO EXCESSIVE BUMPS) AT AROUND 40 MPH, THE FUEL TANK BRACKETS (STRAPS) BROKE AND THE FUEL TANK FELL TO THE GROUND. I HEARD IT RIGHT AWAY AND ONLY DROVE AN ADDITIONAL FEW SECONDS TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD (NOT KNOW WHAT INITIAL HAPPENED - THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS CAUGHT IN THE WHEEL WELL). WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING, I CLEARLY NOTICED THE TANK STRAPS WERE RUSTED AND FAILED. ALSO WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, I SEARCHED TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. I FOUND THAT RAM DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT IT DOESN'T COVER THE YEAR OF MY TRUCK. CLEARLY THE YEARS AFFECTED NEED TO BE EXPANDED AS MY VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT FAILURE THAT THE RECALL ADDRESSED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 4, 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:15 IN THE AFTERNOON ON RTE 122 IN BLACKSTONE MA JUST SOUTH OF THE MILLVILLE BORDER. NO POLICE EVER PASSED OR STOPPED BY.
