Example complaints

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

“I'm a consumer who just had four new cooper discoverer ast ii tires installed on a '93 Nissan Pathfinder. All failed within 709 miles, approximately one month of driving. After driving two weeks and 555 miles, the front left tire suddenly blew out in my driveway. It appeared to fail at the bead. My tire dealer turned the tire over to a cooper rep who examined the tire and said the shop installed it improperly, leading to the failure. The shop disagreed with the finding, but they replaced the tire free of charge. Two weeks and 154 miles later, I noticed the three other coopers were failing. …”

NHTSA complaint #10138302, filed 2005-10, 171,357 miles

“*note: the tires in question are size 235/75r15...this size option was not available in the drop down box./// blowout and near accident occurred. After further evaluation it was determined the sidewalls of the front right tire had collapsed upon entering a slow curve. The condition had existed earlier as the sidewalls were worn to the threads being exposed. After further evaluation ;all four tires seem to have a very flimsy and sub-standard sidewall construction. The vehicle will not be driven until all four tires can be replaced.”

NHTSA complaint #10209737, filed 2007-11, 197,043 miles

“On june 14, 2000 my spouse and I were returning from vacation driving approx. 70 MPH on I-35 east of greenville, tx and had just passed an 18 wheeler when the right rear tire blew out. We were in the left hand lane and were very fortunate in moving in front of the 18 wheeler and over to the right shoulder without rolling the vehicle. It was very scary. The tread came off and tore up part of the fender area and wrapped up over the rear bumper and broke the right rear taillight assembly. We have gone through all the process to be reimbursed by firestone for our replacement tires. …”
