Example complaints

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

“After 31,000 miles, 4 goodyear aquatread tires developed feathered tread blocks on all 4 tires. This resulted in road noise from the tires that was similar to that of all 4 wheel bearings failing simultaneously. The noise was so loud that normal conversation in the vehicle was not possible and any emergency signals such as sirens or horns could not be heard. I believe that prolonged exposure would have lead to hearing loss. …”
