Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The right front tire developed a bubble in the sidewall on three different tires (the original and the two original equipment replacements). The first occurred at 3,956 miles, the second at 4,104 miles and the most recent at 12,136 miles. Acura did not want to take responsibility after the first instance and referred me to michelin tire who in turn referred me to a tire dealer (etd discount tires). The tire dealer said that the fault was not with the manufacture, but with me. After the second tire failure, the tire dealer advised me to purchase a road hazard warranty. …”
