Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had a goodyear wranglet tire failure at highway speed. Without notice the tread separated from the sidewall causing an out of control condition. Luckily, I was able to get the 2002 Dodge Durango stopped safely. I was shocked to see the tread totally separate from the sidewall (3 total pcs 1 ea sidewalls and 1 tread). I went to goodyear they said I picked up a nail or something causing a flat. I'm sorry but I have had flats in the past. When you pick up something and get a flat you loose air pressure and are able to slow down and fix tire, not explode. I filed a complaint with the ohio atty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10052339, filed 2004-01, 18,000 miles“Was driving at low rate of speed and the spare tire fell from under Durango the cable that holds it in place just broke. Had I been on busy highway at 55 to 65 MPH people could have been killed. There should be some kind of safety holding tire besides just the little cable.”
