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.
Goodyear, Wrangler, P265/75R16, dot#4B73D5dr1900 sidewall separation on front passenger's side. Consumer was driving at highway speed when separation occurred. Tires had less than 20,000 miles on them.
This is a "load range E" Goodyear tire problem. At 30081, 30805, 35213, and 38060 miles one each of the original equipment tires failed due to sidewall separation and was replaced at varying charges by Goodyear. Now, at about 50,000 miles, one of the replacement tires has failed for the same reason. Goodyear is giving me a "run around" as has been the case in all previous occurances, variously claiming that the tire is "no longer avaailable" "on backorder" "no longer manufactured" "not adjustable" etc. It has now been two weeks since the last failure was shown to Goodyear, and they claim not to be able to locate a replacement. I have complete documentation of each of these situations, dealer names and locations, and am ready to assist you in whatever way is appropriate. (dot number: Unknown tiresize: Lt24575R16)
