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.
At freeway speed we heard a loud bang, and the vehicle lifted up suddenly in the rear, followed by a loud slapping sound. I was able to keep control and get to the side of the road. The tire tread had completely separated from the tire. There is no evidence of puncture marks or other damage to the tire. When we got this vehicle from the dealership, I noticed "bulges" in the sidewalls of these tires and asked the dealer and was told this was normal. General should be forced to recall all these tires. Many were put on Windstar minivans and this was a very violent separation that could have resulted in a major accident if someone with less experience was driving, or road conditions were wet or slippery!
