The dealership stated that the car tire's were check I than had to come back 2 days later because of the wheel shaking badly and making a loud noise. The dealership stated that the car had a bad wheel bearing and that they missed it.

I bought 4 new Goodyear Eagle LS2 225/35R17 tires on August 08/2018 at a local Goodyear store. On 05/05/2019 my granddaughter with her one year old baby in the back car seat. Were approaching the freeway, while still on the entrance ramp the front tire totally blew out and disintegrated. There was less than 10% of tire left on the wheel. She pulled off onto the grass and waited for assistance from the highway patrol. There was no damage at all to the aluminum rims, as she didn't drive any farther. I have never seen a blowout disintegrate more than ninety percent of the tire. I am not an expert, but this sure looks like a defect in the tire itself. Once again absolutely no damage to my aluminum rim.
Passenger headlight, turn signals, and brake lights not working when is started vehicle was in motion. Have put 5 sets of tires on it in the 4 years owned bought new, check engine light randomly comes on car runs bad and goes to 3rpms the quickly drops to 2rpms and barely goes 40mph and radio goes crazy also happens when in motion.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the tire warning light illuminated. The contact later discovered that wiring from both rear tires was exposed from the sides. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the tires needed to be replaced and that the vehicle needed an alignment. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred on the rear tires within 8,000 miles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but could not determine that cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,400.
13400 miles on car when right rear tire went flat. When I took off flat inside shoulder of tire had worn thru cords. Took to Dodge dealer in covington, tn and they said alignment must be out. Noticed left rear tire also showing steel cords on inner shoulder. Tech said didn't look like car had alignment at factory. Did alignment and alignment was.03 degrease off on one tire the rest were within spec. Dealership cant explain what happened, no one ive talked to can explain what happened. 2000 miles from home in a new car and have to spend $400 on tires and alignment.....not happy.
