WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, WE GOT A FLAT TIRE. REALIZING THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED, WE CHECKED THE OTHER 3 TIRES. THEY WERE ALL STARTING TO SEPARATE. WE REPLACED ALL OF THESE WITH COOPER TIRES. WE DID NOT REPORT AT THE TIME BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THEM. BUT WE DID THINK SOMEONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2M2JBA179 TIRESIZE: 255/70R15)

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.
