“My tire pressure indicator was on yesterday morning so I put air in my driver side rear tire, however this morning I notice it need more air again, therefore I took the car to sams auto service and after inspection the gentleman told me the tire cannot be repair because it is worn on the inside trim of the tire and its not due to normal wear and tear, states he has never seen a tire in this condition because the rest of the tire has good thread wear and appears good if your looking from the other side of the tire. …”

“Tire wear uneven, right front passenger worst. Constant severe pull to the right able to change lanes to right without hands on steering wheel. And very minimal pull to left at times while driving on highway (most notable) and city streets. While driving feels like car bottoms out over bumps/holes or on city streets/highways with rough road since purchased in 2012. Cannot adjust alignment on right side, right camber always negative and told no fix for this and cause for excessive wear on tire and pulling to right. Paint chipping underneath driver side door on body. …”

“Bought new in july 2012. Car has around 46k on it. I have had to replace 2 of the 4 michelin energy saver a/s tires because of cracking in the sidewalls. Both had chunks missing and the cracking/rot was spreading. I drove on them for months like that, luckily without incident. I bought a pair used to replace them so I could get full wear out of the remaining too, but I am wary of buying michelins for my next set.”

NHTSA complaint #10949173, filed 2017-02

“The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for an unrelated problem when the technician detected that the rear passenger's side wheel rim was severely bent. Also, the rear driver's side rim was slightly damaged. The failure was contributed to the light metal materials used to design the rims. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.”
