Example complaints

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

“The metal tire belts came thru the sidewalls, letting the air out. Took back to goodyear dealer and they said that it was underinflated. Not so! Had 3 tires all fail like this. Dealer said they would sell me the replacement tire, but they don't make this tire anymore. Wonder why? One tire even lost a section of the tread, ala firestone tires.”

NHTSA complaint #750196, filed 2001-08

“The firestone tire problem seems to be happening to my tires. Had one tire loose tread last year and now another tire is starting to do the same thing. The steel wire of the belt is coming thru the side wall. (tiresize: 195/75/14)( DOT number: tire size: 195/75/14 )”

NHTSA complaint #733127, filed 2000-10

“The buckles in the front seat of the van are cracked. Consumer states that the dealer refused to replace the seat belts. The calipers have deep grooves, probably caused from the guides wearing into them, the knuckles, guides, and calipers had to be replaced due to causing brake pad failure. Tires had been rotated, however still had bad tread wear, no specific tire information was given.”

NHTSA complaint #818012, filed 1997-10
