Example complaints

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

“While travelling from eloy, az. To calif. On an outing, the left rear tire tread seperated from the carcass. The tire did not lose any air . I changed it, putting on the spare (also the same brand and size). On the return trip, about 3 days later, the right rear tire did exactly the same thing. Iborrowed a spare from a friend and continued home. I contacted sears, but they told me they wouldn't do anything without the original sales reciept, which I couldn't find. I bought 4 new tires and put the remaining 2 on a small utility trailer. …”

From police reports and eye witnesses, my SUV then flipped multiple times across the medianand landed in the oncoming traffic lane. I sustained a sever head injury and required ventilation. I was airlifted to grady hospital where I was placed on a ventilator for two days. I had incurred a basilar skull fracture and an epidural hematoma secondary to the car wreck. …”

“The contact owns a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder equipped with sigma stampede tires. The contact stated that the rear passenger tire separated along the sidewall while driving 65 MPH. As a result of the failure, the fuel hoses were fractured and leaking fuel. Roadside assistance helped reconnect the fuel hoses and installed a spare tire. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop and replacement tires were purchased. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage on the tire was 19,505. Updated 05/31/12”
