Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My tires have developed bulges after only 24000 miles of use. I have the following, original tires: p214/45r17 my tires have significant and dangerous bulges, which can lead to dangerous driving and blow outs. If this is characteristic of all tires in the set, I'd like to be reimbursed for a set of tires that do this, their installation, and the decreased fuel efficiency that will come from having smaller tires. I imagine all three would presently (2014) amount to about $2500. …”
NHTSA complaint #10621060, filed 2014-08, 24,500 miles“Have had several issues with tire wear on the 17 inch tire provided with the 2011 Elantra limited. Every other tire set I have purchased for other vehicles would last 40-50k miles or more, but with this car, I was only getting ~25k miles per set. I was on my third set of tires(not discount tires, three different brands as well) with only ~78k miles when the rear passenger tire had a sidewall blowout. I was fortunate to have purchased a spare (the dealer lied and told me it had a spare when I purchased the car). …”
NHTSA complaint #10578076, filed 2014-04, 78,000 miles“No spare tire, jack, or lug wrench was supplied with this car. Apparently several other manufacturers are doing the same, ostensibly to save on weight and achieve a higher mpg rating. This automobile was sold to my 21 year old daughter who had a blowout. Had she been in a dangerous situation it could easily have resulted in assault and/or death from a crime of opportunity. I have filed a complaint with the consumer protection agency and with Hyundai. Please stop automobile manufacturers from practicing this potentially criminally negligent sales practice immediately. …”
