Complaints on fileComplaints 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 AM WRITING TO REPORT THE HIGH FAILURE RATE OF THE SIDEWALLS OF CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS ALL-SEASON TIRE - 225/45R17 91W. WITHIN A YEAR OF BUYING FOUR (4) NEW SETS OF THESE TIRES, THREE (3) OF THEM HAVE ALREADY FAILED. NOTICEABLY, ALL THE FAILURES STARTED OUT AS A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. IF THESE BULGING WENT UNDETECTED THEY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATAL BLOW OUT WHILES DRIVING. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE BULGING TO COMPANY WHERE I PURCHASED THESE TIRES AND DID NOT GET ANY HELP SINCE THEY BLAME IT ON ME ON HITTING POTHOLES AND THAT ALL TIRES WILL DO THAT. BUT THAT IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM/ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND REALIZED THAT I'M NOT ALONE. *JS

MY 2000 SAAB 9-5 AERO WAGON HAS A PROBLEM OF OCCASIONALLY NOT STARTING. YOU CAN TUNE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND POWER COMES ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. IF YOU ALLOW IT TO SIT AWHILE, THEN IT SEEMS TO START. I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, BUT IT STILL DOES THIS. I NOTICED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLS. *TR

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.
