Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving home on the hwy, driving between 35-60 MPH because of icy, snowy, slushy, 35 MPH windy conditions. My steering wheel started vibrating crazily and my truck kept wanting to pull itself to the left. I felt bumping every time the front left wheel made a revolution. With 1 1/2 hours of driving time left I kept hoping I would make it home safely, which I did. I took my truck in the next day only for them to tell me all four tires of mine were shot - cords in two tires snapped, and bubbling and thread/treadwear in the other two. Granted, I had the tires for 7 years. …”
