Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We noticed for the past month that our tires were wearing on the outside of both front tires. We took the truck to 3 different les schwab tire businesses (weiser, idaho, emmett, idaho and ontario, oregon) and all 3 businesses told us that there was nothing wrong with the tires. Driving at 25 MPH last month, (july 8, 2015), we encountered a steering problem. The truck was wanting to turn at it's leisure while pointing in a straight direction. The steering was sloppy, would not self center, would drift to the left and right and not correct. …”
NHTSA complaint #10744394, filed 2015-07, 82,096 miles“Valve stem retaining nuts are all cracked. I caught them before they separated, but have read about others that have separated, allowing TPMS module to fall into tire, which instantly deflates and could cause a loss of control. Dealer says not covered under warranty despite being clearly a manufacturing defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10509476, filed 2013-04, 29,985 miles“Tpms retaining nut fell off & this caused flat tire at speed. This is the 4th TPMS retaining nut that has failed on this vehicle. The other 3 were found cracked before they failed & replaced at that time (over the last 2 years).”
NHTSA complaint #10498741, filed 2013-02, 92,000 miles“Tpms valve stem failed causing a flat tire. The tire valve itself completely came apart while driving highway speeds. Indicator light came on, but so what , it was caused by its own flawed design. Upon inspection of the other tire valves, it is discovered that they are all cracked and ready to fail as well and need expensive replacement. This is unacceptable.. A safety system that is poorly constructed, dangerous, and required by law to be installed in vehicles. A recall must be mandated.”
NHTSA complaint #10639594, filed 2014-09, 12,189 miles“Retaining nut on TPMS sensor split causing tire to lose all air. 1 week later another tire had complete deflation and TPMS sensor had fallen in to wheel. Inspected all sensors and found all TPMS retaining nuts had split. This can cause catastrophic air loss and is extremely dangerous. I have already replaced two entire sensors and will attempt to have retaining nuts on other two sensors replaced. Dealer will not perform work under warranty. This is an extremely dangerous manufacturing defect!!”
