1993 Dodge Caravan Tires & wheels Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Tires & wheels reportsComplaints 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.

I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS INVOLVING KELLY-SPRINGFIELD AQUA TREAD TIRES. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE TIRES TO SEPARATE THE SIDE WALLS AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. I PURCHASED TWO TIRES ON APRIL 12, 1996 AND TWO MORE ON FEBRUARY 1, 1997. ON 10/15/98 BECAUSE THE SIDEWALLS SEPARATED, I HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES. ON JUNE 6, 2001 WHILE TRAVELING OUT-OF-STATE, THE SIDEWALL SEPARATED ON ONE OF THE TIRES. BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND A DEALER IN THAT AREA AND IT WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS TO ORDER, I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES. TWO OF THE TIRES HAD 24,152 MILES AND THE OTHER TWO HAD 44,872. I HAVE TRIED GOING THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER, THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE ORGINAL TIRES FROM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST KELLY SPRINGFIELD FOR THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND SEEK RECALL INFORMATION. THE DOT # IS PJM0F8KR378GP.*AK (DOT NUMBER: PJM0F8KR37 TIRESIZE: 205-70R-15)
