Data refreshed

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.

ON 12/6/06 I PURCHASED A SEARS TIRE 185 80S13 FOR MY 68 DODGE DART AND GOT CHARGED FOR A NEW VALVE. THIS TIRE WAS PLACED IN THE TRUNK AS SPARE. ON 4/10/07 I PURCHASED ANOTHER 3 OF THE SAME TIRES, INCLUDING VALVES, AT SEARS AT 95668 MILES ODOMETER READING AND HAD THE TIRES, INCLUDING THE EARLIER PURCHASED SPARE, MOUNTED ON MY CAR. ON 11/14/07 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND I DISCOVERED THAT THE VALVE WAS CRACKED AT THE BASE. THE SAME DAY I PAID SEARS TO REPLACE THE VALVE. THE ODOMETER READING WAS 96382. ON 7/4/09 I DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE LOST ALL AIR WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 97561. AN INSPECTION OF THE VALVE REVEALED THAT IT TOO WAS CRACKED. NOTE THAT I DRIVE THIS CARE VERY LITTLE AND MOSTLY IN THE CITY. THE VALVE STEMS DO NOT STICK OUT OF THE WHEEL COVERS AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED FROM PARKING. NOW I HAVE TO CONVINCE SEARS TO TAKE ALL WHEELS OFF AND INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL VALVES BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHY IS A RECALL NOT DONE ON THESE DEFECTIVE VALVES? *TR

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.
