TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING CAR, ON TRIP NORTH, FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT AT ROCKYMT., NC ON I-95. LATER THAT SAME DAY REAR PASSENGER TIRE WENT IN MD ON US 301. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. WENT TO MULTIPLE GOODYEAR DEALERS RE. PROBLEM AND ALSO CAR DEALER IN NC. VERY SCARY TO HAVE TWO IN ONE DAY. ALMOST DIDN'T GET BACK IN CAR NEXT MORNING. STILL SHAKY ABOUT TIRES. SAW ARTICLE RE. GOODYEAR IN NEWS RECENTLY AND DECIDED TO WRITE TO YOU. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE SURVIVED BLOW OUT ON I-95 OTHER THAN GREAT BRAKING SYSTEM ON CAR (UPGRADE) AND MASTERFUL DRIVING BY MY HUSBAND. WE HAD COMPLETE TIRE SEPARATION FROM WHEEL BECAUSE OF SPEED AT WHICH IT OCCURED. COMPANY IN ROCKY MT., NC SAID IT WAS CLOSEST THING TO BLOW OUT HE'S SEEN IN 20 YEARS. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

Reading these
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
