“Driving down interstate and truck suddenly shifted to 3rd gear locking up my tires. Thank god I didn't lose control and drove off the road to a stop. Turned off truck and back on. Drove ok for a bit. Will keep dropping gears or randomly shifting up and down. From a start it could sometime try to go into 5th. At times all the dash indicators flash and go to dashes.”

“While driving the power to my speedometer would go out. Also the truck would increase in RPM's. The last time it happened the wheels locked up on me. In most cases the problem would be fixed once I turned the car off and re started it.”

“Purchased truck in march 2014 & since have had over 10 flat tires. Took truck to dealership & was told tires are cracking due to being driven on a gravel road. Was not aware that the vehicle we purchased was not suitable to be driven on the gravel roads we live on. Tires are a safety hazard for anyone that drives on gravel roads.”

“On 4/2/19 while driving at approx. 50 MPH, all at once, the speedometer dropped to 0, air bag light came on, and the truck started running an idling rough. When we got to our destination we were planning on calling on someone to pick us up. We started the truck to move it out of the way, and it was back to normal. We drove home no problems. I drove the truck to work the very next day, 10 minutes away, ran errands, about 30 minutes driving, and went back to work. Still no problems. …”

“Mywife was driving to work and one tired went down so she was middle of the road.with low tire. The tired started peeling on the side. Now we have three tires all peeling on sides and showing metal. We call michlin and they would do nothing with tires. Still under warranty with 12000 miles, 15000 miles and they would do nothing about it. Dot should make recall michlin tires p265/60r 18 ltx a/s DOT apc4. These tire should be recall before someone get hurt.”
