This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The rear tire was leaking causing an unsafe road condition. When the tire was inspected it was found that the wheel had a crack in the support due to a defect in design. The dealer states that many of the 5 and 6 series with this wheel have issues and offered me a "warranty package" for them for $1700. When doing research online this is a common problem and a clear safety issue. When used with run-flats (what they suggest and require) the wheel takes too much stress and ultimately cracks. My vehicle has less than 25,000 miles on it and it has a cracked wheel with no reason. This is a clear safety concern as a rapid loss of air in a wheel may cause loss of control. It has clear concerns for stopping distance and avoidance as well.
The tires blew out while on a road trip at app 11,000 miles, separation right under the rim. Tires are still under warranty. However, Goodyear dunlop won't be square with warranty, making the warranty of no value. In fact they lied about the cause at first. Still have the tire for review.
