1ST TIRE STARTED VIBRATING AND THEN BLEW OUT. WAS GOING 60 MPH ON SMOOTH HIGHWAY OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WAS ABOUT 60 DEGREES. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES JUST TORE THE MUDFLAP OFF AND CRUSHED THE EXHAUST. ALL THE OTHER TIRES I CAUGHT AS SOON AS THEY STARTED VIBRATING AND GOT THEM OFF THE VEHICLE BEFORE THEY BLEW OUT. NONE OF THE TIRES WERE EVER RAN OVER 65 MPH. OUT OF 8 TOTAL TIRES PURCHASED 2 ARE STILL ON VEHICLE. 6 OF THESE TIRES HAVE HAD TREAD SEPARATION. BF GOODRICH SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL OF THE SIZES IN THESE TIRES AND NOT LEFT DANGEROUS TIRES ON VEHICLES. 2 OF THE TIRES THAT SEPARATED WERE ON THE STEERING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO WRECK IF THEY HAD BLOWN OUT. *JS

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
