Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving 60 MPH vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that front tire needed to be replaced due to tread separation. The tire manufacturer refused to provide any assistance.”
NHTSA complaint #10097544, filed 2004-12, 25,000 miles“The truck continuously pulled to the right while driving at any speed. Upon putting the truck on a lift, the mechanic noticed that the front tire had split and the steel belt was hanging out. The cause of the tire splitting had not been determined.”
NHTSA complaint #10048363, filed 2004-01, 34,000 miles“Consumer states that while driving and with no warning, the front left tire blew out. Dealer notified. The stem leaked at the recommended pressure from 45 to 50 PSI which caused the blow out.”
NHTSA complaint #10029490, filed 2003-08, 19,202 miles“This super swamper tire is the second one that has exploded while driving on the highway, both were front mounted tires. I am getting the tire replaced with another manufacturer's tires, but I felt that these tires and their manufacturer should be checked for problems. My f350 is a fairly heavy vehicle and I was pulling a trailer when this tire explosion occured. At the very least these tires should have a warning that they do not dissipate heat sufficiently at highway speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #766746, filed 2002-09“I have had 2 tread delaminations within a 2 month period. The first occured 7-09-02 to the left front tire. The inner and outer fender were damaged by the flying off read. The second delamination occured on 9-21-02 to the left rear tire. I felt the vibration and was able to change the tire before any damage was sustained. You could see the area where the delamination was happening. The tires are kept at 80psi and are checked on a weekly basis. I still have possesion of both tires at this time. The firestone dealer wants to take them when he replaces the tires. Nlm”
