Example complaints

“Michelin lattitude tour 255/65r16 tires are prematurely coming apart. I have less than 15k miles on these tires and the tread is ripping away from the side walls. There is no recall from michelin for this size of tire and it has the same defect as the other sizes in the same make and model tire. This is ridiculous! 164 dollars a tire and I could have died driving on these things. These need a recall now! Peoples lives are at rick driving with these tires!”
NHTSA complaint #10851726, filed 2016-03, 15,000 miles“Suddenly I could not gain or get any more speed. I was just coasting along, I then arrived at my destination and got out and smelled burning smell from front wheels. I could not get out of the gear I was in.”
