Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)215/55/r18 Well, JD bar ride in South Charleston, West Virginia off a lot in a car without an inspection sticker too bad front tires bad brakes, bad rotors, bad harness, bad ignition had to be replaced.
ON MAY 14, 2017 I WALKED OUTSIDE TO MY PARKED CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SEPARATING DOWN THE MIDDLE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO FIRESTONE, WITH CAUTION AND LOW SPEED, AND GOT IT INSPECTED. ONCE INSPECTED BY ONSITE WORKERS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE HAD FAILED AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I PURCHASED A PACKAGE AT FIRESTONE WITH FOUR TIRES AND I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO THE REST OF MY TIRES.
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY TIRE,ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WAS SEPARATING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FIRESTONE SO THAT MY TIRE COULD BE INSPECTED. ONCE INSPECTED BY ONSITE WORKERS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE HAD FAILED AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ONE. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES TO SHOW HOW MY TIRE SEPARATED. I STILL HAVE MY TIRE SO THAT I CAN SEND IT IN FOR FIRESTONE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE TIRE FAILURE.
I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 50MPH AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO PUT TIN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT, IT DID NOT TURN OVER. I PUT IT IN PARK AND AFTER 3 TRIES IT STARTED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ON A SATURDAY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEY COULD NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG.
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I NOTICE THAT I HAD TO FILL UP THE GAS EVERY WEEK. AFTER A WHILE THE LOW AIR NOTIFICATION CAME ON. BASICALLY I FIND MYSELF ADDING AIR TO THE TIRES ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. SINCE I'VE DONE THAT I NOTICED I HAVE A LITTLE BETTER GAS MILEAGE. BUT I WANTED TO KNOW AM I ALONE WITH THE FAULTY TIRES OR ARE THEY LEAKING AND WHAT SHOULD I DO. DO I GO BACK TO THE DEALER? THEY ARE GOODYEAR BRAND OF TIRES. *TR
