GOODYEAR 215-70-R15 ALLEGRA TIRES PURCHASED AT SAMS CLUB PURCHASED APPX 2 YRS AGO. APPX. 14 MONTHS AGO AND THEN LAST WEEK HAD 2 TIRES REPLACED DUE TO BELT SEPERATIONS. MECHANIC AT SAMS INDICATED THAT THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF TIRE IS IN HIS SHOP FREQUENTLY DUE TO BELT FAILURES. I HAVE REPLACED 4 TIRES ALREADY AND THERE IS ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE SET. I AM CONCERNED DUE TO THE FREQUENCY WITH JUST MYSELF AND THE INDICATED VOLUME OF THE PROBLEM INDICATED BY THE SAMS CLUB MECHANIC. THE BELT SEPERATION DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT DID LEAD TO CONTROL DIFFICULTY DUE TO EXTREME VIBRATION AS ALL FAILURES OCCURED ON THE FRONT. THESE TIRES WERE ROUTINELY ROTATED AND BALANCED, KEPT AT 35 P.S.I. AND WERE NOT SEVERLY USED OR ABUSED. THE VEHICLE THEY WERE ON IS A 1995 FORD WINDSTAR LX.*AK

PURCHASED 4 TIRES FROM GOODYEAR CALLED THE "CUB" IN MARCH. AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPT., THE TIRES ARE 6 MTHS OLD. INCIDENT #1: BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER; TIRE#1 TREAD SPLIT APART. INCIDENT #2: TIRE #2 TREAD SPLITS APART. PER GOODYEAR'S REPLACEMENT POLICY, IF THE TIRE IS LESS THAN 25% WORN OR ONE YEAR OLD (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST) THE TIRE WILL BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. BOTH TIRES WERE SIX MONTHS OLD WHEN THE TREAD SPLIT. THE SECOND TIRE SPLIT A FEW DAYS AFTER THE FIRST. THE FIRST TIRE WAS REPLACED, GOODYEAR CHARGING FOR BALANCING ONLY. WHEN WE TOOK THE SECOND TIRE IN, WE WERE TOLD THAT THESE TIRED HAD BEEN "DISCONTINUED" AND WOULD NO LONGER BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THEY WOULD, HOWEVER, BE HAPPY TO "UPGRADE" THE TIRES FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. WE WERE HANDLED DECEPTIVELY WITH THESE TIRES. WHAT WE WANT IS TO KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT BE PART OF THE STATISTICS OF FATALITIES WITH FAULTY TIRES SUCH AS WITH THE PREVIOUS GOODYEAR INCIDENTS. WE COMMUTE TO AND FROM SAN MARCOS OCASSIONALLY, AND WANT TO REST ASSURED THAT WE WILL SEE OUR LOVED ONES AT THE END OF THE DAY. WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING IS NOT UNREASONABLE. WE WOULD LIKE TIRES THAT ARE RELIABLE AND SAFE. WE PAID FOR THESE TIRES AND INSTALLATION IN MARCH OF 2003 AND EXPECT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO BE RENDERED AS PAID FOR. UPON CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, ONLY IDENTIFYING HERSELF AS "MARY" BY HER CHOICE, SAID THAT IF WE WANTED TIRES THEY WOULD HAVE TO PRORATE THEM. NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE. TWO TIRES REMAIN ON OUR VEHICLE. IN EXPLAINING THE SITUATION, CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY, ASKING WHAT COULD BE DONE IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (WITH TREADS SPLITTING) OR WITH AN ACCIDENT WITH THE REMAINING TIRES, WHAT COULD BE DONE? "MARY" REPLIED, "FILE A CLAIM WITH YOUR CAR INSURANCE" WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THE TIRES REPLACED OR HAVE OUR MONEY REFUNDED SO THAT WE CAN SEEK AND FIND "SAFE" TIRES FOR OUR VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION.

2002 ISUZU AXIOM PURCHASED APRIL 2002....AFTER A FEW MONTHS, VEHICLE TAKEN BACK MANY TIMES FOR VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING AND THREE TIMES TO DATE FOR LEAKING GREASE FROM RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. SEPT 2002. RACK & PINION WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED. WHEELS WERE BALANCED MANY TIMES BY DEALER AND ALSO ALIGNED. REAR ROTORS WERE RESURFACED IN DEC 2002 AND FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED IN MARCH 2003. FRONT TIRES ARE WORN UNEVENLY, DEALER CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY. THESE ARE NEW TIRES THAT DEALER PUT ON VEHICLE IN OCT 2002 TO ELIMINATE VIBRATIONS. WHEELS WERE BALANCED AND ALIGNMENT DONE AGAIN LAST WEEK TO TRY TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS.(I PAID FOR THIS SERVICE) DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY WHAT IS CAUSING PROBLEMS AND AT THIS TIME THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING UNDER THE WARRANTY TO RECTIFY PROBLEMS OF VIBRATIONS. I NEED HELP PLEASE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY MORE NOW SINCE FRONT TIRES ARE WORN UNEVENLY. DEALER TRIED ON MANY ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS AND STILL CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEMS. *JB

BAD SET OF TIRES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT MAKING A NOISE. I AM A WOMAN SO I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAREND OF THE CAR. I KEPT TAKING IT IN ANDHAVING IT CHECKED AND THE DEALERS SAID IT WASN'T THE REAR END OF THE CAR. FINALLY THEY FOUND WHAT WAS MAKING THE NOISE, THE TIRES HAVE BUMPS AND LUMPS ON THEM, THE TIRES AREN'T EVEN ROUND.I HAVE TRIED SINCE NOVEMBER TO GET GM TO HONOR THE WARRENTY ON THE CAR AND REPLACE THE TIRES AND HAVE RECIEVED NOTHING BUT A RUN AROUND. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO LET ME KNOW SOMETHING DEC. 21ST BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM. THE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AND WERE NOT ANY GOOD TO BEGIN WITH. YOU CANNOT ROTATE THE TIRES AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE RATED FOR TOP SPEEDS AND GO FOR A 100 THOUSAND MILES. I AM SACRED TO DRIVE ANYWHERE ON THE TIRES AND I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHEN THEY WEREN'T ANY GOOD TO BEGIN WITH. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR TIRES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD.I HAVE BEEN TRYNG TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS FOR A YEAR BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND IT UNTIL THIS PAST NOV. THIS IS WHEN I CONTACTED GM. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A WRECK BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR AT THIS TIME. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I WANT SOME DEPENDABLE TIRES ON IT. I REMEMBER THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRESTONE TIRES CAUSING WRECKS.THESE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR RUN FLAT TIRES 18 INCH IN THE REAR AND 17 IN THE FRONT. THE CAR IS UNDER WARRENTY, CAN YOU HELP ME GET THE CHEVY DIVISON TO HONOR IT?
