“All of my tires have bulges and pits in them. I've only had my vehicle for one year. The tires still have excellent tread on them, but they've developed pits and bulges. I never drive on the gravel and I live on a paved road. I took my car to my mechanic and he believes that the tires have some kind of defect. The size of my tires are 215 / 65/r16.”
NHTSA complaint #10238335, filed 2008-08, 68,000 miles“At 40 MPH the 4 wheel antilock brakes on my 2005 Ford Mustang locked up when I was attempting to stop at a stop light, causing my car to hydroplane into the back of a dodge pickup. The engine in my car was driven back into the fire wall upon impact; however, my air bag system failed resulting in more serious injuries to me.”
NHTSA complaint #10144806, filed 2005-12, 13,845 miles“I started to have problems with the handling of my 2005 Mustang gt when I would drive down the road. It would swerve in the other lanes and it would hit the road bumps and holes like a go kart would. I noticed since I put on my 245/45/17 b.f.goodrich tires that I started having all these problems. I asked the Ford place what I needed to do because my tire in the inner part was wearing out and my fabric had started to show. The Ford dealership would not help me at all, all they would tell me is that I should have never changed the original tires and wheels. …”
NHTSA complaint #10162863, filed 2006-07, 22,000 miles“I was driving approximately 75-80 MPH on I-10 westbound in katy, tx on a sunny day, appx 90 degrees. I noticed the back end of the car sway from side to side. I slowed to approximately 60 MPH and then heard a pop and the car started swaying almost uncontrollably and bouncing. Having experienced blowouts before, I knew that I had blown a tire. I pulled into the breakdown lane and noted the driver's side tire was completely shredded around the entire circumference of the tire at the sidewall. I had less than 200 miles on a brand new 2005 roush Mustang when this occurred. …”
