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.
Both front tires are exhibiting bubbled sidewalls on the LT235/85R16 tires suggesting early stages of tread separation from carcass. Driver's side looks to be out of round as well. Lot numbers are identical elw0408. No accident as yet, but appearance is worrisome based on listed failures in in the NHTSA database. After the recent reports on the poor tracking of tire failures and lack of accountability, I believe this report is relevant and pertinent to public safety.
Had a flat tire and could not get the rims off the wheel hub--went to dealer and he said to get under vehicle and hit rims with a sledge hammer---this has been ongoing since 2001--right now going thru this problem again after dealer said that it was fixed.
Brakes overheating causing wheels to become hot. Wheels are condinsating on inside causing rust on inside of wheel causing valve stem failure and tires to become gaulted to wheel making it imposable to save tire for repare. (dot number: M32K tiresize: Lt24575R16)
All four rear wheels are bent. The only people until now to touch this vehicle have been Dodge dealerships(sandoval in nm. They also eventually fixed the speed control which would add 5 to 20 mph to a setting at any time. Very dangerous. I have tried to get T a Dodge dealership here (laramie, wy)to look at my rims and they give me the runaround.
