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.

THE TIRE IN QUESTION IS THE "DOUGHNUT" SPARE. IT WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE SPLITS AND STRESS CRACKS WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE A PUNCTURED TIRE ON THE ABOVE DATE. I STILL HAVE THE DAMAGED SPARE IN MY POSESSION. I HAVE REPORTED THE FAILURE TO BOTH FIRESTONE AND VOLVO DEALERS. THE RESPONSE OF EACH WAS TO OFFER TO SELL ME A NEW SPARE. I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARE WITH A NEW FULL SIZE TIRE. (TIRESIZE: SPARE)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: SPARE )

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.
