Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving at freeway speed, I noted an increase in vehicle interior noise. Auto handled normally at that time. Within probably less than a minute it was clear that noise change was not related to road surface variation, and I started to pull over to side of freeway. While doing so, tire blew out. Car fishtailed ending up against guardrail. Tire basically destroyed. No indication of debris in road at time problem started. I am vehicle's original owner. This tire had never been punctured or repaired and had never had a period of underinflation. …”
