Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Not a failure, but misleading information to consumers which might lead to problems. I was sold dunlop sp sport fm901 tires for my Saab 9-3 (I am fairly safety conscious) and was told that they were snow legal by just tires, a goodyear owned dealer. Recently, I checked inflation and looked for the m&s rating on the sidewall--not there. I looked on the dunlop web site...it showed that the tires rated a 5 for snow on their 1-10 performance scale (indicating to a reasonably intelligent person that they would be average, I.e., what one would expect for an all- season tire). …”
NHTSA complaint #10098857, filed 2004-11“Request for reimbursement for problems recurring with pirelli tires and factory rims. Saab refused to provide a warranty explanation on the consumers tires and rims that were replaced and refused to offer any types of explanation on the integrity and safety of these specific tires and rims. The consumer received one payment but wants to remind Saab about the remainder of payments which he was entitled to. The consumer stated the left and right front tires ballooned out 12 inches on the inside. The consumer had to replace the rims and the tires. The check engine light illuminated.”
