Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I RECENTLY PURCHASED FOUR (4) GOODYEAR EAGLE ULTRA GRIP GW-3 TIRES (235/55R17) FROM SAMS CLUB IN DOVER, DELAWARE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED FROM THE GOODYEAR WAREHOUSE ALL WITH A DOT DATE OF 3614 ALMOST 4-YEARS OLD! I DONT BELIEVE GOODYEAR SHOULD BE SELLING TIRES WITH A DOT DATE OF 3614. IF YOU PROVIDE ME WITH AN E-MAIL, I CAN FORWARD MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH GOODYEAR CONSUMER RELATIONS.
THIS REPORT CONCERNS AN UNUSED SPARE DONUT TIRE IN THE TRUNK OF A 2001 OLDSMOBILE AURORA (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT). LAST WEEK WE NEEDED IT AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT IN THE TRUNK IT IS VERY OBVIOUSLY SEPARATED. IT WAS NEVER USED YET WAS TOTALLY SEPARATED. FIRESTONE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE (NOT EVEN COLLECTING INFORMATION ON THE TIRE TO RELAY TO THEIR FACTORY) - 2 EMAILS AND 3 PHONECALLS. THIS TIRE IS A T125/70R16. IT WAS NEVER ON A RECALL LIST THAT I CAN FIND. I AM SURE IT IS SITTING IN MORE TRUNKS THAN MINE. FORTUNATELY THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY SEPARATED SO I DID NOT MOUNT IT AND DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT I NEEDED IT LAST WEEK AND ENDED UP NEEDING TO GET MY CAR TOWED SINCE THE SPARE WAS SEPARATED/UNUSABLE. I HOPE YOU CAN AT LEAST GET THE INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM SO SOMEONE DOESN'T MOUNT A TIRE THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY BLOW OUT. AND I ALSO LEARNED TODAY I CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT (THE DEALER TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT A JUNKYARD - THIS IS A 2001 CAR- NO SPARE???). MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE INFORMATION GET USED TO MAKE SURE OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE PLENTY OF CARS HAVE THIS SPARE TIRE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE RIMS FAILED DUE TO INNER CORROSION AND DETERIORATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHROME WAS PEELING AND AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THE RIMS. ONE TIRE CONTINUED TO LOSE AIR, SO THE CONTACT PURCHASED FOUR NEW TIRES. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE TIRES BEGAN LOSING AIR AGAIN DUE TO DETERIORATED AND CORRODED RIMS. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,100 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,446. UPDATED 3/5/08 *CN
POSSIBLE DUE TO DROPPING OR POOR HANDLING AT MANUFACTURE, THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE HAD A SMALL HOLE IN IT ABOUT THE DAMAGED WHEEL, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY DROPPING THE RIM ON THE FLOOR, RESULTED IN A SLOW LEAK AND THEN A FLAT.
