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 HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT ON 9/8/2010. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR FROM HOUSTON TO GALVESTON TX. THE HOLE CAP CAME OF THE TIRE LIKE IT WAS A USED RECAP TIRE. THE TIRE CRACKED THE HOOD AS WELL AS THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AND THE WHEEL WELL COVER IT ALSO THREW THE HOOD OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE TIRE GOT REPLACED BUT THE REST OF THE DAMAGES ARE STILL PENDING. AFTER MY TIRE BLOWOUT THERE HAS BEEN 3 OTHER DRIVERS WHO'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THOSE TIRES ANYMORE. I HAVE CONTACTED MICHELIN TO HAVE THEM BUY THE TIRES BACK AND PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING JET. MICHELIN CLEARLY HAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE ON THIS ONE AND I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE DUE TO THIS TIRES IS ON MICHELIN BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS TIRE WHEN WE IN A SMALL GROUP HAVE BLOWN 4 OUT OF 5 EQUAL TIRES. *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.
