Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We've put 21,000 miles on these tires in 3 years and have tire rumbles, vibration while driving and side wall is cracking and flaking away. Brought to the dealer where we got the tires from and they have no idea what's causing it. Seems to me that several people are having this issue. There needs to be a recall for these tires before someone gets hurt while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11139319, filed 2018-10, 127,511 miles“Drove 2 miles to store nearby. Parked vehicle went inside store. When leaving I was told I could not use this exit because of vehicle fire. Fire investigator told me front left wheel bearing overheated causing bearing grease to act as accelerant causing total vehicle fire. Vehicle completely engulfed within one and one half minutes. Vehicle total loss.”
NHTSA complaint #10523567, filed 2013-07, 130,000 miles“While driving, my left front wheel suddenly began making a grinding noise. This continued to happen over a span of about 1 week before I sought a mechanic for repair. The day before my vehicle was scheduled for repair, the accident occurred. As I drove to work one morning on the local highway, the vehicle began to jerk to the left. I slowly drove, with emergency lights on, to the closest exit and suddenly my vehicle jerked to the left causing me to crash into the grassy area of the exit. My left front wheel was almost off the vehicle and it had to be towed for repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11040996, filed 2017-10, 197,720 miles“Abs and tc light came on. Checked at shop and was told the speed sensor was bad, brakes were fine, but no ABS. Traveling down highway, and vehicle started making a lot of noise (metal on metal, etc). Had car towed, and the hub was bad. Was told we were lucky the wheel did not come off. Had to replace hub assembly and brake pads.”
NHTSA complaint #10597605, filed 2014-06, 120,000 miles“Takata recall about a month ago my truck (ABS) started active itself and when driving it will act as if it's about to stop on its own and jerked to the left. Then shortly after it start making a loud noise then the noise gotten louder where others can hear it not only me. I had one of the wheels hub replace and it stop for a day and continue and now it's to the point where it's beginning to shake while driving,and ride different. I have three kids who I have to worry about.”
