Example complaints

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

“The tires of the car started growing bumps on the face of the tire. Initially one in one tire, then the second one on the same tire, then one on a second tire and finally a third one on the first tire. I called the distributor and was told to buy new tires or go to the tire manufacturer for warranty. This in my opinion is a serious security risk that the manufacturers are not taking seriously.”

NHTSA complaint #10224491, filed 2008-04, 2,100 miles

“The contact owns a 2008 mercedes benz c300. The vehicle has michelin pilot sport tires, size 232/35/19 (na) in the front and size 265/30/19 (na) in the rear. The tires were underinflated by the dealer, which caused the vehicle to drive roughly. The vehicle has been to the dealer several times, but the failure has not been corrected. The failure mileage was 3,000.”
