Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2004 nissan quest in january of 2004. it was purchased new from the dealer. the van had goodyear eagle ls tires. we have had the van a little over six months and have had three blowouts, all occuring on the sidewalls of the tires. the first blowout occurred the first month we had the van. we were on the highway. the second blowout occurred as my wife was pulling up on the curb to park. the third blowout occurred in a parking lot as she was turning a corner. there were four rails on the ground and the tire grazed one and totally blew. this was in a church parking lot at a very low speed. the fourth tire was replaced when we noticed a gouge in the rubber of the tire.we have replaced all four tires with another brand. when we contacted the car dealer, we were told that there were no other reports of problems with this tire and goodyear would not do anything. my wife and i both have impeccable driving records - no accidents, speeding tickets, reckless driving etc.. so this is not a case of negligent driving on our part.*ak |
