ON JUNE 15,2014 WHILE DRIVING ON THE PA TURNPIKE, WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON OUR RV. THE TIRES WERE GOOD YEAR MARATHON ST225/75 R15. WE SAFELY CHANGED THE TIRE AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. AFTER CONTACTING OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND GETTING AN ESTIMATE, THE DAMAGES AMOUNTED TO $4300.00. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY CONTACTED GOOD YEAR AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST TO FIX OUR RV. GOOD YEAR GAVE THE INSURANCE COMPANY THE FULL AMOUNT REQUESTED.. I CONTACTED GOOD YEAR AND REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED THE COST OF OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND 5 NEW TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD RESEARCHED THE TIRES ON THE DOT SITE AND WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMPLAINTS LISTED. I ALSO EXPLAINED MY REASON FOR PURCHASING 5 NEW TIRES, SAFETY, QUALITY AND PEACE OF MIND AND BEING PROACTIVE FOR FUTURE ISSUES. THEY OFFERED ME ONE TIRE COST AND THE DEDUCTIBLE. I DECLINED THE OFFER AND AM NOW FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE OFFICE OF THE ATTY GENERAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE GOOD YEAR TIRES FOR ANY OF MY VEHICLES. I AM ALSO CONTACTING JAYCO TO ADVISE THEM THAT ALTHOUGH I LOVE MY RV, THEY COULD HAVE PUT QUALITY TIRES ON IT. *TR

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.
