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.
Michelin ltx M/S 2 P265/70/16R dated 2412 & 2512; tires have tread separation, cracking between treads and not holding air. These are the same tires they have recalled but not the same size, have same defect; I have contacted Michelin and they refuse to replace these tires even though they only have 25,000 miles on them and only 2 years old. This is a major safety risk and should be evaluated.
