“On 14jun02 I replaced the original equipment tires with new ones. At that time I was informed that there was something wrong with my van. I was shown where the original equipment rotor ,on the left front tire, was too large a diameter for the wheels. The tire had to be forced off and on. Since I had the tires rotated both wheels were now warped. In forcing the t he wheels onto the rotor, the lugs appeared to be damaged. They also told me that an inordinate amount of weights had to be used to try to balance the wheels. …”
NHTSA complaint #763939, filed 2002-07“This was brought to my attention by another owner of the same vehicle. I was advised that my front tires were bald. I checked them and found they were ok. I had already replaced two of them in less than two years. Turns out the person advising me had also done so and there was still another person (we all belong to the same church and drive the same vehicle) experiencing the same problem. The front tires are wearing excessively and the dealership is aware of the situation but has elected to do nothing about it. The wrong tires are being sold with this vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #747664, filed 2001-07“We currently have 16,637 mile on our 1999 Dodge RAM van. In recent weeks we notice that the front and rear tires were worn down to the radial bar. In addition, there are several air bumps forming on all four tires. Withe recent firestone and ford problems, I took the van to merchants tire and auto where I normally do business. They informed me that the tires were shot, are a saftey concern and should be replaced. I then took the van to tire warehouse to get a second opion on the tires. Again, I was told that the tires were in very bad condition and should be replaced as soon as possible. …”
