| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Purchased new bfgoodrich tires around may? of 2001 at a merchants site now closed. around july one tire had sidewall cracks. merchants determined it to be defective. replaced one tire at a $10 cost for hazard warranty. about nov. 2001 remaining 3 tires exhibited same sidewall cracks. car had about 10k miles on it and rockville merchants determined tires to be defective and returned to dealer for credit. i was charged about $90 or 1/3 the price of the tires. now, march 2002 the 3 replaced tires again have the same type sidewall cracks and some swirl patterns. merchants determined to be defective and reported to michelin who owns goodrich. i refuse to have goodrich put on the car but am being asked to pay about $20 for each of 4 tires to be michelin to be put on the car. my family dr. also said he had 3 sets of such tires replaced (free of charge) then just bought dif. ones himself. it appears they are not acknowledging a known defect and consumers are being put in danger and ripped off. i do not plan to keep this car more than a year and should not have to pay to have defective tires replaced!!! other dot #'s end in 2602 and 3501. those are the recent ones. i can get the prior numbers from records. i also can get the specific dates if needed; these are estimated dates.*ak (dot number: anv9d31136 tiresize: p19560r15) |
