Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Re:: tire p185/65r15 ( not on list ) on 5/30/07 i leased a 2007 toyota corolla, it came equipped with goodyear integrity tires p185/65r15 . on 7/21/07 i went to the dealer & told them i was having a problem with the air retention in the tires. it had become necessary with this car & these goodyear integrity tires to check the tires weekly & add air at that same time. i also strongly felt that there was a problem either with the tires or the valve stems & asked that they check them. they checked the tires & informed me that everything was fine, mileage at that time was 503 miles. since i continue to feel unsafe with these tires every time i go out i check the tires & put the required air in. on 8/17/07 i contacted goodyear & explained in detail the serious problem with these tires or their manufacture gave me a case number 918405 & sent me to the nearest goodyear store to have the tires & valve stems checked. the service person at the store told me everything was fine with the tires & asked what type of a tire gauge i was using & sometimes they are not accurate. at 67 yrs of age i know how to check tire pressure & i can also tell by the way the car drives, handles, & stops that the tires are not at the recommended air pressure. i don't do a lot of driving (mileage now 956) but when i go back to work i want to feel safe while driving. i am terrified when i drive this car since i feel it has extreme safety issues where these tires are concerned & i do not want to become a statistic nor do i want to kill someone. i am getting nowhere with the toyota dealer or goodyear the "old boy's club" stick together. there is a serious safety issue with these tires & it needs to be addressed either by the toyota company, dealer or goodyear before someone gets killed. *jb |
