Example complaints

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

“Goodyear dealer overinflated tires (g159 unisteel p235/85r16), the dealer also replaced tires with a defected bent rim and another tire appears to be a recap, the joint where the tread cap connects to the sidewall, when the tires are overinflated it causes tires to feel hard and also causes steering problems.”

NHTSA complaint #558307, filed 2000-12
