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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1968 FORD F250. THE VEHICLE HAS A SET OF COOPER PRO COMP MUDTRAIN TIRES (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE WALL DESIGN OF THE TIRES WAS SPLITTING APART, WHICH CAUSED THE INSIDE TO BULGE AND CRACK. THE FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A FLAT TIRE. HE CALLED COOPER TIRES AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO SEND THEM THE TIRES; HOWEVER, THIS COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY TIRES AT ALL. THE MANUFACTURER WANTED THE CONTACT TO PAY FOR SHIPPING AND THE COST TO REPAIR THE TIRE FAILURE. THEY ALSO CHARGED $32 PER TIRE FOR EVERY TREAD THAT WAS USED. THE CONTACT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE NEAREST STORE IS 25 MILES AWAY. THE DOT NUMBER, CORRECT TIRE SIZE, VIN, AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

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.
