NHTSA complaint #10059968 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAD A SIDEWALL BLOW OUT WITH A THREE WEEK OLD DUNLOP TIRE WHILE MERGING ON TO AN ON RAMP AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE TIRE LOST PRESSURE IMMEDIATELY AND CAUSED TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE WEATHER WAS ONLY AND 30 DEGREES, AND I OPENLY HAD MYSELF AND EMPTY TRUNK CAR. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AT AN AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR DEALER AND INSTALLED WITH A SET OF EQUALLY SIZED FOUR TIRES. CORPORATE AND RETAIL GOODYEAR PEOPLE WILL ONLY REPLACE THE TIRE IF THEY CAN BE PROVED THAT IT WAS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TIRE, NOT WITH INSTALLATION OR ANY OTHER CHARATERISITICS. THE PREVOIUS TIRE ON THAT RIM WAS A GOODYEAR TIRE THAT LASTED 45000 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, SO RIM DAMAGE APPEAR TO BE NOT LIKELY.
NHTSA complaint #10007969 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
TIRES
DURING A SAFETY CHECK/TIRE BALANCE PRIOR TO AN EXTENDED ROADTRIP, MY MECHANIC FOUND ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SUFFERING TREAD SEPERATION. THE TWO IN THE REAR HAD 4 TO 6" SPLITS IN THE INSIDE SIDEWALLS, AND BOTH FRONT TIRES HAD BROKEN BELTS, FORCING ME TO PURCHASE A NEW SET. ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, TWO OF THE TIRES HAD PLUGS, ALTHOUGH I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT WITH THIS CAR. THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND BALANCED SINCE NEW. THE TIRE DEALER MARKED THE TIRES TO BE RETURNED TO GOODYEAR FOR POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT, BUT GOODYEAR HAS NOT RESPONDED. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE REQUESTED TIRE INFORMATION SINCE I DO NOT HAVE THE TIRES. THEY WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MY 1998 OLDS INTRIGUE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: )
