Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The TPMS light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out. I considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the TPMS light on (losing pressure). After a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times I try to re-calibrate the TPMS, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what. This is an on0going issue that continues daily, despite driving conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #10935021, filed 2016-12, 26,000 miles“On two of our tires the rubber cracked and completely split from the radial around 1/3 to 2/3 around the tire about 0.25 from the wheel rim. This happened on 2 of the 4 tires (all the same DOT and installed at the same time.) the rear tires show the initial signs of the same defect but the rubber hasn't separated yet from the radial. The tires have about 45,000 miles on them installed and service by firestone. Luckilly there was not an accident, breakdown, fire, etc; however, it is very suspicious that all four tires have nearly the same defect. I have pictures of the tires. …”
NHTSA complaint #10884802, filed 2016-07, 93,000 miles“I have had 3 (or 4) false low tire pressure warnings. The first 3 times the dealer refused to do anything other than check the pressure and reset the light. The last time I had an alarm I drove another 25 miles and then looked at the tires. I could see nothing wrong so I assumed it was another false alarm. This incident occurred on a saturday so the dealer was closed and I continued the trip we had planned. When I finally went to the dealer, it was 5 days and 300 miles later, the dealer did find a nail and the pressure was 24 PSI. …”
NHTSA complaint #10553465, filed 2013-11, 6,700 miles“I bought a new 2013 Honda Accord 2dr ex-l v6 off the floor of the dealership on april 1, 2014. The dealer had changed the standard 18 in wheels to 19's and the standard good year tires to brivery dgestone turanza el 400 02's. After I had put about 3,500 miles on the car, a small staple (1/16 in deep) punctured one tire just between the wall and the tread,and the wall failed and it ran flat. I took it back to the dealer and they said there was no warranty on these tires. There was a good year tire warranty booklet in the glove box but no bridgestone booklet for the turanza's. …”
NHTSA complaint #10644171, filed 2014-10, 3,552 miles“Two false TPMS low pressure warnings, second occurrence 7/19/2013. Tire pressure during both occurrences was correct when subsequently measured with tires 'cold' after warning. Tpms was recalibrated after both false warnings. Tpms is an indirect system, computed through ABS system. Checked with american Honda for a firmware update, none pending.”
