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 contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab with Firestone destination le tires, line size P245/70 R17. The contact was traveling 70 mph when the sidewall blew on the rear driver side tire. The tires were labeled as having a lifespan up to 60,000 miles but the failure occurred at 16,000 miles. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that they had never seen the failure in the manner in which it occurred. There were no repairs. The dot number and VIN were not available. The vehicle failure mileage was 44,085.
Driving at low speed in downtown macon, right front tire blew out. Sidewall had 0.5 inch slit and obviously was beginning to "separate" (I could see what looked like a thread). Tires were just balanced/rotated week of April 10, 2006. Tread looks ok. Could see "deterioration" around entire tire sidewall above lettering and below tread. Inspected the inner side of the tire wall and noticed same deterioration in same area (rubber was cracked in defined area completely around the tire).
