Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed May 30, 2005

MY COMPLAINT IS ON GOODYEAR TIRES, WRANGLER HT 225/75R16 LOAD RANGE E. ON APRIL 3, 2005 I LEFT A RV PARK IN TYLER. TX AND WAS TRAVELING EAST ON I-20 NEAR THE MARSHAL. TX EXIT WHEN ONE OF THE ABOVE TIRES BLEW OUT. I PROCEEDED UP THE 614 EXIT IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE FOR MY SAFETY ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED ON TO BOSSIER CITY, LA TO FIND ANOTHER TIRE. THE DEALER HAD THE SIZE TIRE NEEDED AND REPLACED THE BLOWN OUT TIRE. I INFORMED THE SALES PERSON THAT THE TIRE HAD DAMAGED MY TRAILER. HE GOT A CLAIM NUMBER (000427752} FOR ME AND TOLD ME THAT GOODYEAR WOULD SEND ME FORMS TO FILL OUT TO GET REEMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE NEW TIRE ($214.65) AND THE DAMAGE TO MY TRAILER, LATER DETERMINED TO BE $547.96. I TRAVELED TO TALLULAH, LA AND STOPED FOR FUEL AND CHECKED TIRES AND FOUND ANOTHER TIRE ABOUT HALF INFLATED AND COULD HEAR AIR COMING FROM IT, CHANGE TIRE. I MADE IT ON TO JACKSON, MS WHERE I FOUND A GOODYEAR DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE TIRE AND CHARGED ME $32.50. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TREAD HAD SEPERATED. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND PICKED UP MY MAIL AT THE POST OFFICE I DID HAVE THE PACKET TO FILE A CLAIM BUT I ALSO HAD A REGISTERED LETTER FROM GOODYEAR TELLING ME THAT MY CLAIM HAD BEEN DENIED EVEN BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO FILE IT. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANY DEFECT IN THE TIRE, THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN RUN FLAT. I SENT GOODYEAR THE CLAIM FORMS AND A LETTER ASKING THEM TO RECONSIDER MY CLAIM. I DID IN FACT RUN THE TIRE FLAT AFTER IT BLEW OUT IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHICH ONLY HAD CORDS AROUND THE TIRE AND THE BEADS AROUND THE WHEEL. GOODYEAR SAID THEY WOULD DESTROY THE IN 30 DAYS IF I DID NOT REQUEST THEM TO RETURN IT TO ME. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR TRAVEL CLUB HAVE HAD BLOW OUTS AND TREAD SEPERATIONS ON THIS SAME MAKE AND SIZE GOODYEAR TIRE. SINCE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC I WOULD ASK THAT THIS TIRE BE INVESTIGATED.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
