Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRIVING A JEEP 2003 MICH LX TIRE 235/65/R17 SIDEWALL DRY ROT, REPORTED TO MICH THEY SAID IT WAS THE OZONE, AS A SCIENTIST AND AN NDT LEVEL 4 INSPECTOR I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE PERSON THEY SENT ME TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SPENT LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LOOKING AT THE REMAINING 3 TIRES. THE PERSON REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY WRITTEN REPORT THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 15K ON THEM. MICHELIN WILL NOT GIVE ME A VOUCHER FOR 4 FREE TIRES I AM AFRAID OTHERS WILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THE DRY ROT SIDE WALL WILL BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A DEATH OR SEVERAL. MICHELIN RECALLED 1,3 MILLION TIRES VOLUNTARILY BUT REFUSES TO RECALL MINE. BEWARE OF MICHELIN TIRES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE TIRE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
I JUST HAD THE VALVE STEMS REPLACED (DUE TO CRACKING) ON MY JEEP. THEY WERE CODED AS TR413 (OBVIOUSLY THE SAME DILL NUMBER COVERED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THESE TIRES AND VALVE STEMS WERE INSTALLED ON MY CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2005 - CLEARLY NOT MANUFACTURED DURING THE AUGUST-DECEMBER 2006 TIME FRAME OF THE RECALL. THIS RAISES THE QUESTION ABOUT THE DILL/CHINESE VALVE STEM PROBLEM BEING MUCH LARGER THAN HAS BEEN CLAIMED. I AM A RETIRED FORMER RUBBER CHEMIST, AND HAVE RUN HUNDREDS OF OZONE RESISTANCE TESTS ON RUBBER COMPOUNDS, SO I AM FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT TO LOOK FOR. NHTSA SHOULD EXPAND ITS INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. I KEPT THE OLD VALVE STEMS WHICH WERE REMOVED, AND WILL MAKE THEM AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *TR

THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 45,000.
