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.

PURCHASED KEYSTONE PASSPORT TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MISSION TIRES ST205 75R 14. DOT 7DJTY0T1108. EARLY ON 2 TIRES LOST AIR, NO PUNCTURES OR CAUSE. LATER A THIRD FLAT WAS DUE TO PUNCTURE. JULY OF 2014 NOTICED EXPOSED BELTS AND UNUSUAL WEAR ON ANOTHER TIRE. A LOCAL TIRE DEALER INFORMED ME THE TIRE WAS COMING APART AND WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T BLOW OUT CAUSING DAMAGE. DECIDED I SHOULD GET NEW TIRES OF ANOTHER BRAND. DEALER INSPECTION OF THE MISSION TIRES REVEALED TWO OTHER TIRES WITH BELT SEPARATION AND ONE WITH TREAD SEPARATION. HE SAID TIRES LOOKED BAD, DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE. HE SAID WITH AS FEW MILES ON THEM, +/- 10,000, THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THAT CONDITION. CONTACTED TIRECO, THE MFR. OF MISSION TIRES. ACCORDING TO LISA, TIRES MFRD. NOV. OF 08 AND OUT OF WARRANTY. WARRANTY STARTS DATE OF MFR. TIRES CLOSE TO 2 YRS. OLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRAILER NEW. [XXX] SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE TIRES OUT OF WARRANTY. PURCHASED NEW TIRES EVEN THOUGH THE REMAINING GOOD TIRE HAD 7/32 OF TREAD LEFT. THESE MISSION TIRES ARE POOR QUALITY, DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. WE FEEL TIRECO OWES US SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES SINCE THEY HAD JUST APPROX. 10,000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE ON THE TRAILER ALMOST TWO YRS. BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE TRAILER. WE TOOK PICTURES OF THE WORSE TIRE AND WILL SAVE THE TIRES FOR ANY FUTURE REVIEW. WE FEEL FORTUNATE THAT NONE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT AND WE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM IN TIME. THESE MISSION TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED AND/OR KILLED DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE, POOR QUALITY TIRES. THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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.
