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.
The consumer stated buying four tires for vehicle, one failed a month after the purchase. Consumer's son had an accident and nobody checked the tires, since they did not have any puncture marks. Two weeks later, husband had a flat tire. The rubber disintegrated from the inside and it peeled off. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and they took off both tires. Three out of the four tires failed within two months of purchase, 2 were found to be buldging and peeling on the inside.
At first, I thought we had a pebble in our tread as we motored on a secondary, paved road. Upon turning on highway 11 the sound heightened, so we pulled to side of road to find a flat on the right rear. After changing tire I several times closely observed the flat tire finding no holes or cuts. The Toyota dealer found a slash, allegedly, and placed 3 plugs. I am reporting this incident in the event it fits into a larger pattern of failures with this tire model. Mahalo and thanks.( dot number: Tire size: P175/65R14 )
