HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED PRIOR TO GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENT AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS. THEY NOTICED A BULGE ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL. KELLY TIRE LESS THAN 30 DAYS OLD. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE BULGE WAS FROM SOMEONE HITTING A POT HOLE TO HARD. I THINK THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND THEY JUST DID NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE TIRE THAT WERE PURCHASED AT A GOODYEAR RETAILER WERE 2NDS WITH KNOWN DEFECTS. I CONTACTED A GOODYEAR RETAILER WHERE I LIVE AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THEM UNLESS I WAS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER WITH THE RECEIPT. *TR

DT: NOTICED ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2005 THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, ONE SAID IT WAS THE VALVE TRAIN ,AND THE OTHER DEALER SAID IT WAS EXHAUST SYSTEM ECHOING. BOTH DEALERS SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO SOUND LIKE THAT. COULD STAND TWO TO THREE HUNDRED FEET AWAY AND HEAR IT ROAR, AND EVEN IF IM INSIDE A VEHICLE. WHEN FIRST STARTING IT UP IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SOUND RIGHT AWAY. BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP IT MAKES THIS SOUND EVERY TIME WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE . *AK

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.
