ON JUNE 15,2014 WHILE DRIVING ON THE PA TURNPIKE, WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON OUR RV. THE TIRES WERE GOOD YEAR MARATHON ST225/75 R15. WE SAFELY CHANGED THE TIRE AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. AFTER CONTACTING OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND GETTING AN ESTIMATE, THE DAMAGES AMOUNTED TO $4300.00. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY CONTACTED GOOD YEAR AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST TO FIX OUR RV. GOOD YEAR GAVE THE INSURANCE COMPANY THE FULL AMOUNT REQUESTED.. I CONTACTED GOOD YEAR AND REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED THE COST OF OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND 5 NEW TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD RESEARCHED THE TIRES ON THE DOT SITE AND WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMPLAINTS LISTED. I ALSO EXPLAINED MY REASON FOR PURCHASING 5 NEW TIRES, SAFETY, QUALITY AND PEACE OF MIND AND BEING PROACTIVE FOR FUTURE ISSUES. THEY OFFERED ME ONE TIRE COST AND THE DEDUCTIBLE. I DECLINED THE OFFER AND AM NOW FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE OFFICE OF THE ATTY GENERAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE GOOD YEAR TIRES FOR ANY OF MY VEHICLES. I AM ALSO CONTACTING JAYCO TO ADVISE THEM THAT ALTHOUGH I LOVE MY RV, THEY COULD HAVE PUT QUALITY TIRES ON IT. *TR

I LOCKED THE DOOR TO THE TRAILER TO SECURE THE OCCUPANT INSIDE WHILE I WENT OUT FOR A WHILE. THE OCCUPANT WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAILER. SHE HAD SOMEONE OUTSIDE TO TRY AND OPEN THE DOOR AFTER SHE THREW THE INSIDE CONTROLS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH OUT ANY SUCCESS. THE OCCUPANT WAS LOCKED IN THE TRAILER FOR SEVERAL HOURS - UNTIL I RETURNED AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. I HAVE A JAYCO OCTANE TRAVEL TRAILER - 2009- THE DOOR LOCK IS DEFECTIVE. THE LOCK IS MADE BY BAUER. *TR
