NHTSA complaint #10676487, filed 2015-01, 90,000 miles“Was told by dealer that the hankook optimo h725 brand tires on my car have failed. I was advised not to drive the car for long trips, and to replace the tires asap. I have 24,000 miles on 3 of the tires and 16000 on another. I already had to replace one tire because of a sidewall bubble.”
NHTSA complaint #10472756, filed 2012-08, 24,100 miles“While driving down the street I was a slight curve turning to the right and the car drifts while turn. It feels like the car is losing control. I keep replacing the tires but every few months I have this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10609724, filed 2014-07, 63,000 miles“Left front tires continue to wear excessively on the inside of the tread. I have had the alignment checked, and everything is within specifications. I rotated tires as shown in owner's manual. Tires rotated front to back, back to front. The left front wears the inside of the tread; the tire on the left rear stops wearing, once placed on the back. Also, upon movement, tire noise inside the vehicle is unacceptable, and this noise sounds loudest from the inside, front left of the vehicle (driver's side). At 25 MPH, inside tire noise is 45 db. At 55 MPH, inside tire noise is 85 db. …”
NHTSA complaint #10563586, filed 2014-02, 23,000 miles“Both tires on back cupped and I was told by dealer that it was because I did not rotate them. I had to buy tires and also pay for alignment. Now at 56251 miles it did it again. Took it to dealer again and now they day it needs a rear adjustment kit that cost $240.00 dollars and I have to pay for it. The service consultant said it was a factory defect but Ford says it isn't and they will not pay for it. Also I took it in because it makes a loud thump when I hit a bump. I told them it sounds like shocks are bad but they said nothing is wrong with car.”
