“My goodyear rsa tire flew apart while traveling 70 MPH on the interstate. The tire was properly inflated. The sidewall caved in. The tire didn't have any visual defects prior to the blowout. Truly concerned with the other tires, simply vanishing from beneath the car without warning. I would have caused an accident if the traffic on the interstate was congested.”

NHTSA complaint #10246880, filed 2008-10

“2006 eagle tires have cracking on the sidewalls. There is already a customer satisfaction recall for 2004 Nissan Maxima's. I have a 2006 with the same tires (newer) but same identical problem. Goodyear dealer did not want to replace tires as they say 2006 is not part of customer satisfaction. 3 out of 4 tires were splitting on sidewalls. Please take note that consumers are still having the problem with newer models. Although they put new tires on my vehicle, I do not feel safe with them on.”

NHTSA complaint #10197355, filed 2007-07

“The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that all four of the tires kept going flat. The inner bead where the chrome is located continued to deteriorate, which caused the tires to flatten. The dealer stated that they voided the warranty because armor all was applied to the tires, which caused them to flatten. The failure mileage was 14,509.”

NHTSA complaint #10249421, filed 2008-11, 14,509 miles

“The contact stated while attempting to brake at 20 MPH, the vehicle swerves to the left and right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer stated this was normal for a vehicle with 18 inch tires. The dealership told the consumer the reason he experienced the jerking of the vehicle was because the vehicle has 18 inch wheels and the wheels want to follow the road irregularities.
