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.

IN THE FALL OF 2019 I BROUGHT MY MOTORHOME TO DAISY TIRE COMPANY TO HAVE MY FRONT TIRES BALANCED. THEY REMOVED THE TIRE AND THEN EXPLAINED THAT BALANCING WOULD DO NO GOOD BECAUSE THE TIRE ITSELF WAS BAD. I BOUGHT TWO NEW TIRES SEP. 5, 2019. I WAS INITIALLY HAPPY WITH THESE TIRES AND BOUGHT 4 MORE WHICH I BROUGHT TO IDAHO AND HAD INSTALLED BY LES SCHWAB NEAR MY HOME. I WAS HAPPY TO KNOW I HAD FOUR NEW TIRES. THIS SUMMER WE DROVE TO COLORADO, BUT ALONG THE WAY THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHIMMY. BY THE END OF THE TRIP TO DENVER, WE COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 50 WITHOUT A VERY BAD SHAKING. I WENT TO LES SCHWAB THERE, WHO FOUND THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE VERY BAD: TREAD SEPARATION AND SEPARATION OF THE INNER LINING FROM THE BODY CORDS. WHEN I CALLED DAISY TIRE THEY SAID WARRANTY SERVICE IN DENVER WAS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT GAVE THE NUMBER OF THE DISTRIBUTORS OF THE PHYLON EUPHORIA TIRES: BARKLEY TIRE AMERICAS, 6047 MALBURG WAY, VERNON, CA 90058. I CALLED, BUT THEY ALSO SAID THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE WOULD BE TO RETURN THE TIRES TO DAISY TIRE COMPANY. THIS OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE SAFE, SO I PURCHASED TWO NEW TIRES FROM LES SCHWAB IN DENVER. I WANT DAISY TIRE AND BARKLEY TIRE TO LET ME KNOW IF THE REMAINING 4 TIRES ARE SAFE, OR IF THE ENTIRE LINE OF PHYRON EUPHORIA TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. I ALSO WANT THE NHTSA TO INFORM ME IF THE PHYRON TIRES ARE SAFE OR DANGEROUS.

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.
