“I have had 3 incidents that I believe are directly related to the fuzion touring tires on my 2009 chevy Cobalt. The first was a rear end collision in early july, approximately 5 days after I had the tires installed on my car. When I needed to make an emergency stop the front wheels locked up and the car skidded into the car in front of mine, that had managed to stop before hitting a car that had swerved in front of him. The second incident occurred on oct 14, 2011. I was going through an intersection during a rainstorm. The intersection has a slight left bend to it. …”

“Chevy Cobalt 2009. Two incidents involving the same model but different cars. Both rented from enterprise. Don't know what category to put the complaint in. Steering? Braking? Or something else? This model handles terribly on wet pavement. Doesn't brake well on wet pavement, and tires spin when starting from a stopped position. Incident 1. Changing lanes on i270 md. Going about 50 MPH. And slowed down to move one lane to the right. Going from a less used wetter lane to lane to the right, which wasn't quite as wet. Car spun out twice and hit the jersey wall twice. …”

“Noticed front end shaking. Worst at speeds 40-50 MPH but noticeable at all speeds. Mechanic told me metal band inside the tire is broken and tire tread is damaged due to it. Mechanic would not let me drive until tire is replaced, and said he was surprised it had not blown already.”

“My tires consistently lose air at an accelerated rate. Despite replacing all tires, this problem persists. I have been told that replacing the rims will resolve the issue. I feel that this recommendation is premature given the age of the car. The rims should not have corroded so much to the point where I have to replace them after 5 years. I have to pump air into my tires 2 times a week to maintain a safe pressure for driving.”
