ON WEDNESDAY SEPT. 3 2003 WE WERE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON THE 210 FREEWAY IN THE CARPOOL LANE AT ABOUT 65-70MPH. THEN WITHOUT WARNING OUR DRIVERSIDE REAR TIRE BLEW. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND THANKFULLY THE CARS BEHIND ME LET ME OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THIS WAS THE SECOND OF THESE TIRES TO FAIL ON ME TWO MONTHS AGO, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE FAILED IN A SIMILAR FASHION. MY GMC SERVICE BODY 2500 TRUCK CAME BRAND NEW WITH THESE TIRES INSTALLED, AND HAVE TESTED FATE TWICE NOW BEFORE PUTTING 34,000 MILES ON THEM.*AK

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
