| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Leased a 2005 pt cruiser convertible, dream cruiser series 4 in november of 2004. first failure of the tires was the passenger side rear tire in august 2006. i was parked somewhere waiting for someone and when they walked back to my car they noticed that i had a bulge in the tire due to a crack in the sidewall. had to get the very expensive tire (goodyear - 205/50/17 rs-a) replaced, with only approximately 13,000 miles on the car. next failure was in october of the same year. driving at 35 mph at the end of a line of three cars when all three hit the same pothole. the first two cars didn't have a problem, my passenger side front tire completely blew out the sidewall and i had to have an emergency replacement, this time with just under 15,000 miles on the car. both tire dealerships seemed to casually acknowledge the fact that they had seen several problems with these particular tires on this particular model of car. dealership didn't know how to handle the problem except to give me a number for chrysler. chrysler doesn't deal with tires and they directed me to goodyear. goodyear said it was due to road hazards and they were not responsible for any of the costs and completely denied having heard of any other problems with this type of tire. *nm |
