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 AUGUST 20TH 2007 WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH IN A 27 FOOT MOTORHOME, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. IT WAS A GENERAL AMERI 550 MS 235/85/R16. THIS TIRE WAS 90 % NEW WITH NO WEATHER CHECKS, BULGES OR ANY DAMAGE. IT WAS INFLATED TO 70LBS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE AND I RUN A SCHOOL BUS FLEET AND DRIVE A LOT. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH A GENERAL AMERI TRAC. THEN, ON SEPT 30, 2007 AT ABOUT 8:00 P.M. ON I-75 BY GAYLORD, MI. AT ABOUT 65 MPH. THE RIGHT REAR INSIDE DUAL BLEW APART GIVING SEVERAL PEOPLE SOME FRIGHTFUL MOMENTS. IN BOTH CASES, THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE BELTS AND THE TIRE BLEW APART. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMAINING TIRES. ALTHOUGH THEY LOOK TO BE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, SO DID THE ONES THAT BLEW APART. I CONTACTED GENERAL TIRE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES AND THEY (JOSE) WILL ONLY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND NOT SAY IF SOMETHING IS WRONG OR NOT. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE OTHER TIRES AND I AM HESITANT TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE OR CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, (TWO BLOW-OUTS WITHIN ABOUT 300 MILES OF EACH OTHER. AND I ALWAYS CHECK THEM WHEN WE STOP) *JB

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.
