Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I recently purchased a used car in january of 2010. It had installed on it, a set of four douglas 185/70r/13 tires with the manufacture date of 0408 on the sidewalls, and the previous owner stated they were only about 2 months old (bought at wal mart). They are modeled xtra trac aw. Well about 3 months ago, I had one completely blow out due to sidewall failure. This blow out damaged pretty much the entire front driver's side of my car. I had to replace my wheel bearing, cv joint, and a bunch of other things I'm not sure about on the inside of the tire area. …”
