Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My wife had a flat tire on this brand new car after only about 1,600 miles. The tires on this new car are the continental contiprocontact 235/45 r19 95h. There appeared to be a small gash/slit toward the rim of the right rear tire -- on the side of the tire. My wife does not recall driving over any road hazard that would have caused such a gash/slit. There was also air seeping from the tire where it meets the rim when I took it into our Ford dealership to find out where this was leaking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10680335, filed 2015-02, 1,600 miles“My wife experienced a second tire failure today while driving down the road. Our 2015 Ford Escape has 11,011 miles on it. The first failure occurred in mid-january 2016 when the vehicle had 9,537 miles on it. The sidewall on both tires showed a large crack in it after the failure. Both failures were not the result of striking a road hazard. The tire deflation light came on right away when the failures occurred. The failures did not result in a collision since they occurred at a speed of approximately 25mph and there wasn't any traffic around. …”
NHTSA complaint #10850322, filed 2016-03, 11,011 miles“All four of my 235/55R17 103V XL tires are dry rotting. They are separating and creating a crack all along the tire shoulder. I bought these tires brand new in January 2020, they are not even 3 years old yet. The tires can blow due to the dry rotting causing me to crash, getting them replaced ASAP. No warning to them getting worse, until I did a tire check early this month.”
NHTSA complaint #11481296, filed 2022-08“My Ford Escape was fitted with two Cooper tires (235/55 R 17) that had to be replaced with less than 20k miles on them. After using the tires in normal city/highway situations, both tires started to bulge causing vibration when driving the vehicle. This was due to the belts breaking within the tire. While this specific tire is not currently under recall, I believe it should be. There is no reason these tires should've worn out so quickly and it sounds like the exact same issue many of their other tires currently under recall have. …”
