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.

I PURCHASED A SET OF FIVE (INCLUDING THE SPARE) NEW CARLISLE TRAILER TIRES IN EARLY 2009 FROM DISCOUNT TIRE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. THE TIRES ARE CARLISLE ST205/75R-15/D1 RADIAL TRAIL. THESE WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR THE ORIGINAL TRAVEL TRAILER TIRES WHICH WERE A LOAD RANGE C, THE RADIAL TRAIL'S ARE LOAD RANGE D. SINCE THAT TIME ONE TIRE FAILED DURING A TRIP IN JUNE OF 2010 AND WAS REPLACED AT A DISCOUNT TIRE IN OGDEN, UTAH. LATER IN OCTOBER OF 2010 ON OUR MOST RECENT TRIP THREE OF THE REMAINING CARLISLE TIRES FAILED. I REPLACED FOUR TIRES AT THAT TIME IN OKLAHOMA CITY AT A DISCOUNT TIRE. I HAVE SINCE PLACED MY TRAILER IN STORAGE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRES ON MY TRAILER I NOTICED SIDEWALL BULGE ON TWO OF THE NEW REPLACEMENT CARLISLE TIRES EXACTLY IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE FOUR TIRES THAT FAILED. THIS IS WITH LESS THAN 30 DAYS IN STORAGE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TOWING MY TRAILER WITH THESE TIRES. SIX (6) TIRE FAILURES IN THIS AMOUNT OF TIME AND ON BASICALLY BRAND NEW TIRES IS OUTRAGEOUS. FORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO PERSONAL INJURIES OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE TO THIS POINT FROM THE TIRE FAILURES, BUT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OR BOTH HAPPEN. MY TRAVEL TRAILER IS A 2008 PROWLER 250 CKS. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CARLISLE TIRE AND WHEEL BUT FELT COMPELLED TO REPORT THIS FAILURE AS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A LOSS OF LIFE. *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.
