| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 8-14-06 i exited us hwy 59 west of beltway 8 sw of houston tx. noticed "wobble" in front end of car. on turning south on murphy rd i notice wobble getting worse and appeared to be on drivers front. i pulled into chevron station to put air in what i suspected was a low air tire. no low air problem existed. i ran my hand over tread of drivers front tire and discovered a large bulge on inside edge. there was a fire stone store about a 1/2 block south on murphy street where i bought a new tire. not being a tire expert i can only tell you it appears that once again a goodyear eagle ls failed on my 2003 pt cruiser due to a "slipped belt". my pt cruiser came with with goodyear eagle ls tires. it also came with a "tires for life offer" from the dealer, "goodson dodge" in spring, tx. ( they have since sold dealership). the following tires failed due to "slipped belts" on original tires. two (2) each 195/65/r15 dot#m6c6 bmar 0403. they occured at seperate times and replaced with other tires at "discount tire store". second time when i visited store and explained problem as i walked across parking lot the discount tire store employee said something like, "oh, a pt cruiser, let me guess these are goodyear eagle tires. i said yes why ? he said "i don't know if its a tire defect or a problem with the car but this is a frequent occasion. i should have reported this then. i did report it then to yall but i did to the dealership and they said there was not a problem and their tires for life warranty did not cover defects. only tread wearout. 2 of original 4 tires on my pt cruiser were replaced at tire tread wear out. it was one of those tires that failed yesterday. dot#m6c6bmar1205. i still have all 3 failed tires. recap: vehicle-2003 pt cruiser purchased august 15, 2003 about 90,000 miles driven. defective ties: goodyear eagle ls m+s 195/65/r15 tires rotaed every 6000 miles, 6 each tires owned 3 failed. 50% failure rate. thanks, bob smith. *nm |
