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.

WE HAVE HAD 4 TIRES LOOSE TREAD ON OUR JAYCO 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR LT215/85R/16 LOAD RANGE E. OUR TIRES NEVER LOST AIR. WE DROVE TO CAMPING WORLD IN MYRTLE BEACH FROM I95 ONLY ON THE STEEL TREAD AND THEY DID NOT LOOSE AIR OR GO FLAT. WHEN PURCHASING THE TIRES THE DEALER FELT THE ONE TIRE WAS STILL TOO GOOD TO BE REPLACED BUT SINCE IT WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES WE SAID TO CUT IT AND GIVE US 4 NEW TIRES. WE DID HEAVY DAMAGE TO OUR BRAKES, SLIDEOUT AND COACH DAMAGE. THANKFULLY NO INJURIES OCCURED TO US OR ANYOTHER PEOPLE BEHIND US. GOODYEAR WILL ADMIT TO NOTHING I TRIED BEFORE. BUT FOUND A LETTER DATED 11/7/2000 WHERE THEY HAVE A SLIENT RECALL ON LOAD RANGE E TIRES.
