“I have multi mile wild country tires installed on my truck which are only a few months and a few thousand miles old. Two of the tires have sidewall separation cracks and one is leaking air through the crack. They are: size 265/70r16 DOT# u9c2 t93 3213.”
NHTSA complaint #10625702, filed 2014-08, 55,000 miles“Morning drive from fredericksburg, va to syracuse ny along route 81n. Roads are empty, dry, & sun is up. I had just decided to stop at next exit for breakfast when my 2005 Tundra pickup is violently jerk to the right. I try to fight it back straight when it suddenly takes of to the left, then jerks back to the right. I hit the guard rail & the truck flips over. The next thing I remember I'm hanging upside down & I'm hearing a strange noise. I turn the keys off & the noise stops. …”
NHTSA complaint #10556108, filed 2013-12, 130,575 miles“Bought this vehicle used in 2010 and it had a lot of corrosion underneath then. Currently has 50 k miles. My brakes are squealing due to corrosion preventing the calipers from moving and the wheel was corroded to the hub and it took a lot of effort to remove it. The structural members and all the components have loose layers of rust. The exhaust heat shields fell off. The spare tire restraint system looks too weak so I removed the spare. The spare wheel is so corroded that the bolt holes are no longer smooth for the lugs to bear against evenly. …”
NHTSA complaint #10617784, filed 2014-07, 50,000 miles“Driving on 81 n (mile marker 160) in pa at 7:10 am when front passenger tire blows out. This caused me to swerve across both lanes come back hit the guard rail. Truck flips over onto guard rail, slides for a ways on guard rail, then rolls over as it descends a hill. The blowout was in my lane (gauge in pavement) without any object in the road. Tire lost pressure instantaneously. Both tow driver & insurance adjuster pointed out tire as cause of accident. The tire was a michelin ltx m/s2 with 33000 miles on it, but it had a 70000 mile warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10556102, filed 2013-12, 13,000 miles“Tire pressure monitoring system does not work as designed. For the last 24,000 miles the system has not worked as intended with multiple failures of multiple types. Initial failures clustered around the pressure in the spare being set at a different pressure than the drive tires. Secondary failures clustered around the fact that the drive tires heated during operation and were subsequently at a different temperature and thus pressure than the spare. Inclusion of the monitor on the spare seems a design flaw. …”
