| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. the vehicle came new from factory with goodyear tires: wrangler sr-a 245-65r-17. my wife was driving the vehicle in the highway and one of the rear tires blew out. called goodyear and explained the problem. they created a file (#860902) and referred me to the nearest tire store near my home. an inspection of the tire by the store revealed no road hazard damage. the tire was a manufacturer defect. goodyear refused to replace the tire and only offered a 56% reimbursement on the cost of the tire (not labor or installation). the jeep was purchased new in january 2006 and only had 13,000 miles with 30% tread wear. decided to purchase the replacement tire from www.tirerack.com. mailed the invoice to goodyear today. hope to receive a refund soon. still am very disappointed they won't refund 100% of the cost of the tire. in addition, also worrying if the remaining tires on the car will follow the same pattern and blow up. the blown-up tire revealed 7 doughnut shaped holes on the side. *nm |
