Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

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.

I HAVE HAD FOUR SEPARATE BLOW-OUTS ON GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRES. M & S LT 235/86R16. LOAD RANGE E. ALL BLOW-OUTS HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAY DRIVING. THESE TIRES ARE USED ON MY FIFTH-WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER. ONE OR TWO BLOW-OUTS COULD BE CONSIDERED BAD LUCK AND PART OF DRIVING. FOUR BLOW-OUTS IN TWO YEARS IS A PATTERN.
