| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 10/20/07, the sidewall of my goodyear fortera (right rear) failed. my wife lost pressure and had to aaa change the tire. goodyear stated (la quinta dealer) the tire was damage by a unknown object. on 10/26/07, i was driving driving when the left rear tire failed. i pulled over and changed the tire. i later had the tire inspected and the inner sidewall separated and appeared to be the same size and detail of the previous tire failure. when i took it to the goodyear dealer (cedar city ut) they told me that i had driven on the tire too long and i caused the damage. i was lucky, i immediately pulled over and changed the tire before i lost all air pressure. there was "no damage" on the tire due to my driving. the damage tire failure was about a 4-5 inch rectangular shape hole. the second tire began the same way. the sidewall began to separate in the same fashion and had not "blown out" prior to me changing it. *tr |
