Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While traveling on 20/59 north past the coaling exit, I hit a pot hole. The pot hole was so big that it burst my tire and bent my rim. Since it was around 7:45 pm, I couldn't see it. Thank god it only burst one of my tires on the rear of my car. Things could have been a lot worse. It also took an hour at least for a trooper to come. This is going to cost me at least $450. I expect to get some assistance from the state with fixing my car. The pot hole needs to be filled asap!”

Only one company (bfgoodrich) makes this size. Have not been available for some time. Received violation for bald rear tires and no replacements are available.

NHTSA complaint #10258535, filed 2009-02“Bf goodrich is the only manufacturer of tires in the size my car requires (2004 Mercury Marauder). They are on a national backorder until may/june 2009. This leads to two dangerous options: running on tires that are bald or replacing with incorrect size. Both can lead to accidents and fatalities. Please require them to start production immediately. Many other drives of this car have the same issue.”
