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 GOODYEAR MARATHON ST 225/75/15 D TIRES ON BRAND NEW (MAY 2007) 2007 CARMATE 24 FOOT TRAILER. I DROVE THE TRAILER TO SALT LAKE CITY (SLC), BACK TO FREDERICK, MD, THAN BACK TO SLC. SO, WITH ABOUT 8,000 MILES (JULY 14 NOW) ON THE TIRES - I NOTICE "AIR BUBBLES" IN THE SIDEWALL JUST ABOVE THE RIM. I CALL LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALERS, AND NONE HAVE THE TIRES IN STOCK (I DO HEAR THOUGH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, SEVERAL NON GOODYEAR DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN THESE TIRES OFF DUE TO ISSUES WITH THESE TIRES). I DECIDE TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON (ALSO A MARATHON) AND CONTINUE MY JOURNEY TO SIERRA VISTA, AZ. NEAR PRICE, AZ I NOTICE ANOTHER "AIR BUBBLE" IN A DIFFERENT TIRE. NOT WISHING TO TAKE A CHANCE ON A BLOW-OUT (NO GOOD SPARE TIRE LEFT) I BUY NEW TIRES (BIG O THIS TIME), BECAUSE THERE ARE NO MARATHON TIRES IN STOCK IN PRICE, AZ. ARRIVING IN SIERRA VISTA, AZ I TALK TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE TIRES. HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, BUT CAN NOT HELP ME BECAUSE HE IS NOT A "AUTHORIZED" GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP ANY LONGER. DUE TO NEW JOB AND HOUSE HUNTING I LET THE REPLACEMENT ISSUE DROP FOR AWHILE. SEPTEMBER 20, 2007. I HAVE PERFOMED SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, AND WHILE NOT SEEING THE ISSUE WITH "AIR BUBBLES" I SEE PLENTY OF ISSUES CONCERNING "BLOWOUTS" WITH THESE TIRES (WERE THERE AIR BUBBLES FIRST?). I CALL GOODYEAR HQ AND AM GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND A TUCSON DEALERSHIP TO TAKE THE TIRES TOO. OVERALL I AM WRITING THIS LETTER/COMPLAINT TO SAY THAT: 1) THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM (AT LEAST AMONG THE PUBLIC AND DEALERSHIPS (GOODYEAR & OTHER MANUFACTURES)) WITH THESE TIRES. 2) (DEPENDENT UPON THE OUTCOME TOMORROW) GOODYEAR SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON THE DEFECTIVE TIRE ISSUE. *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.
