On 6 August 2010, I purchased 3 tires from ray's tire & service in St. Augustine, fl 32084, having a Goodyear logo touted on their invoice and a huge Goodyear sign on their buildings, therefore, one would assume that tires being bought and installed are Goodyear... well that's no so... while driving to cleveland, Ohio suburb last Monday (20 Sept 10), my left front tire separated on I-75 running at approx 74 mph heading North in london, ky. Had it been a woman driver with lesser driving skills, lord only knows the horrors. Upon returning to town and visiting ray's tire for a rebate, I was told it was not responsible and that tire installed was a kumo tire... not a Goodyear... thus, I ask those of your overseeing highway safety, is this acceptable as a "truth-in-advertising" issue" thus I ask of you overseeing highway safety, is this acceptable to Goodyear corporate board of director stewardship? thus I ask, is this acceptable from a highway safety standpoint and trustworthy, the average consumer can feel comfortable with" this 84 year old ww II overseas veteran consumer does not believe so and feels strongly you shouldn't either.

On June 18, 2010 I had an accident that I believe was caused by a tire failure. No other vehicles were involved in this accident and there were no injuries. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurance company. On June 18, 2010 at approximately 6:00pm I was driving on the Pennsylvania turnpike. My vehicle was headed West somewhere between the donegal exit and the new stanton exit of the turnpike. The weather conditions were what I consider ideal driving conditions. I was in the right lane of the two lane roadway and as I was approaching a moderate curve in the roadway my vehicle pulled severely to the left, I attempted to control the vehicle by using the steering wheel and moderate pressure on the brakes. No amount of control I tried to exert was of any value and within seconds my vehicle had struck the jersey barrier on the left side of the highway and spun into a position against the right jersey barrier facing traffic. I would like to add here that I had owned and driven this vehicle for over 10 years and approaching 75,000 miles, I was completely accustomed to maintaining control of this vehicle even while driving under the worst of conditions at highway speeds. At the time of the accident my vehicle was equipped with four P215/60R15 93T yokahama avid tour S S319 bw serial no. M6orplhr1410 tires. These tires were purchased and mounted on June 15, 2010 and had approximately 150 miles on them. The immediate and severe loss of the control I experienced is the basis for my opinion that one of these tires failed catastrophically to cause this accident. My auto insurance company has researched the matter and found that there were no manufacturer recalls, investigations, or technical service bulletins relating to the conditions described. I urged them to make a physical inspection of the vehicle to determine if the tires or any other defect of the vehicle could have caused the loss of control, but they were unwilling to do so.

While driving on the highway, the right front tire blew out and had come apart. Also, the left tire blew out and separated upon pulling into a repair shop to fill the tire with air because air was seeping out. The cause of the both tire blowouts was not determined.

Since I've had the car, the brakes have been replaced twice, rotors replaced (also cleaned and other things-to the point they asked me to see if there was a recall on brakes and rotors). The right front passenger window will not work from the driver side to roll down but can still roll it up from there. The air conditioner button(resistor) needed replacing and then the vent button(resistor) needed replacing. Also, had to replace tie rod end and wheel bearing. Not to mention a water pump. We bought the car used from sawyer Chevrolet with 38,000 miles on it. It now has 76,000. But within a year and a half of owning it, this is all the work we had to put into it. I've never had a car that needed all that repairing done before it reached 100,000 miles. Plus we had to get new tires because they had Firestone tires on them that were warping, etc. But sawyers refused to replace them and Firestone did not get back to us in time before our vacation. So we put new tires on ourselves.

Consumer stated the brake and ABS light woul come on imtermittenly. It was said to be a communication problem (since new). The brakes have been in the shop(dealer) many times. Now the brakes release and coast at slow speed, and almost caused two accidents where the vehicle would have rear ended another. There are also complaints with the tires (incomplete info). Scc

Had coolant/oil leaking from valve cover/ intake manifold. Dealer replaced all 5 gaskets, oil and coolant. Only have 31,000 miles on the car. Also had resistor for fan control changed. Blower would not operate in position 1 or 2. one month ago in January, had transmission cooling leak. Dealer said it was "transmission internal wiring harness connector" leaking when I told them it was cooling line. Invoice shows changed harness, which I couldnt tell it was new because it was dirty, and changed gasket in cooling line. At same time had A/C blower control unit replaced. Ive had probelms with this vehicle since I bought it. Tires were "cupped" after first rotation. Dearler replaced 2 front tires under warranty. Now I have a problem with tires/wheels after each rotation when rear wheels are put up front. Said problem might be alignment, which is not covered under warranty. Also have had horn repaired due to inop. Dealer found wiring harness wasn't connected. Had control switch changed on power drivers seat. Drivers seat moves back/forth slightly when braking/accelerating. Passenger-side airbag was replaced due to "squeaking" when hitting bumps in the road. Had battery replaced due to acid leak eating off positive terminal. Had to leave car overnight at work brakes are due replacement due to "brake fade". car is total disapointment. Would trade it in, but I owe more than vehicle is worth.
