The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler PT CRUISER. The vehicle has Goodyear Eagle tires. The contact stated that the steel belted radial separated from one of the tires and left a hole. The front passenger side tire flattened. He took the vehicle to a Goodyear tire store and they would not honor the warranty because of the hole. The Goodyear store stated that the contact's driving and failure to have the tires aligned properly caused the failure. The manufacturer issued a claim number and sent him to another Goodyear tire store. The VIN, tire size, and dot number were unknown. The failure mileage was 37,400.
I have had this 2006 PT CRUISER for over a year and a half. Within that year and a half, I have now had to replace the tires, brakes. The air conditioner just went out. This car has been horrible. I can't blow the horn without pounding it. The lamp assemblies hold moisture, the thing drinks gas and right now with gas prices this is a problem. Yet, nobody wants me to trade it because it isn't worth a penny because nobody wants them. They need to recall the fact they lied on the stickers about gas mileage. I may get 17 miles per gallon. Horrible car. I hope people stop buying them until they fix the problems they already have.
