Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE 1ST TIRE FAILED (EXPLODED) IN AUGUST 7, 2000, THE 2ND TIRE 7/20/01 & THE 3RD WAS ON 7/21/01. THESE TIRES WERE ON OUR BOAT TRAILER WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN MARCH, 2000. THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PURCHASED THE BOAT/TRAILER PACKAGE NEW IN THE SUMMER OF 1999 AND THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. ALL 3 OF THEM HAD LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON THEM AT THE TIME THEY FAILED. IN ALL 3 INSTANCES THE SIDE OF THE TIRE "EXPLODED" AND YOU COULD SEE THE BELT (VERY FRAYED) STICKING OUT OF THE LARGE HOLE. FORTUNATELY THIS IS A DOUBLE AXEL TRAILER AND WAS CONTROLABLE AT THE TIME OF THE BLOW OUT. IF IT HAD BEEN A SINGLE AXEL TRAILER, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HERE TO REPORT THIS. I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES POSE A SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK (TIRESIZE: ST205/75R1)

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
