Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The consumer stated buying four tires for vehicle, one failed a month after the purchase. Consumer's son had an accident and nobody checked the tires, since they did not have any puncture marks. Two weeks later, husband had a flat tire. The rubber disintegrated from the inside and it peeled off. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and they took off both tires. Three out of the four tires failed within two months of purchase, 2 were found to be buldging and peeling on the inside.”
NHTSA complaint #10119833, filed 2005-06, 65,000 miles“At first, I thought we had a pebble in our tread as we motored on a secondary, paved road. Upon turning on highway 11 the sound heightened, so we pulled to side of road to find a flat on the right rear. After changing tire I several times closely observed the flat tire finding no holes or cuts. The Toyota dealer found a slash, allegedly, and placed 3 plugs. I am reporting this incident in the event it fits into a larger pattern of failures with this tire model. Mahalo and thanks. (tiresize: p175/65r14)( DOT number: tire size: p175/65r14 )”
