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.

BOUGHT A NEW 2000 CLASS C MOTOR HOME WITH FIRESTONE LT225/75R16E TIRES ON IT. WITH LESS THAN 10000 MILES AND TWO YEARS OLD THE LEFT OUTSIDE TIRE OF MY DUAL TIRES SIDEWALL HAD A BLOW OUT. I PURCHASED THE EXACT SAME TIRE AT A NEAR BY DEALER AND HAVE HAD MY MOTOR HOME SITTING FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES EVEN WITH NO USE ARE BEGINNING TO BULGE AND DISTORT IN COLOR. I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW AND THE ONE TIRE IS NOW LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER TIRES I HAVE THAT ARE ALMOST 4 YEARS OLD NOW. *AK
