Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently had a tire blow out while traveling a short distance. The tire had only 8000 miles on it, so I question a firestone dealer in n.smithfield, r.I. Whether the tire had a defect and was told (common reply of deniability) a pot hole caused the tire to blow. I pointed out that the damage was done on the inside wall not the outside wall and I hadn't hit any potholes driving to my daughter's house. …”
NHTSA complaint #11114497, filed 2018-07, 8,005 miles“Since january of 2018 I have been having constant problems internally with my Jeep. I got the Jeep in april of 2017 with 14 miles total on it. The Jeep dealership never rotated my tires when they changed my oil and told me they did rotate my tires resulting in me having to get a brand new set of 4 tires in 2018 because all the tires went completely bald (too dangerous to drive on). My first of 4 cylinders went out in january 2019 that was fixed on warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #11279505, filed 2019-11, 40,000 miles“I have not even owned my vehicle a year now. I have never had an issue with steering shaking or pulling. I went to get my tires rotated for the first time at a local dealer and they stated the all 4 of my tires had all irregular wear on them on the inside of the tires only. It was believed to be a defect from the beginning with the alignment or another steering issue that has caused such irregular wear (including the rears). Per your warranty the tires are to be rotated every 6,000 miles. …”
