Jetta 4-cyl

  • 20,000 miles
2014 VW Jetta has been experiencing problems with low tires and handling issues while driving on dry, wet or extreme heat conditions. This car has been serviced by the dealer since its purchase 13-Nov-2013 and wasn't until 1-may-2015 that we noticed 3 of the 4 tires have sidewalls which have separated and come apart on the side of the tire as well as in multiple places of the tire. The tires have 20,000 miles are in great condition and have problems with the sidewalls only. Seems to be a recurring issue I have noticed with these tires and I am having them all replaced!

Jetta

  • 1,800 miles
Tires put on the 2014 VW Jetta gli (dunlop sport) from factory are of very poor quality and could cause a blow-out and an accident. First incident with pothole caused a tire blow-out on front passenger tire, but executed a controlled maneuver to pull the vehicle over. Second incident involved no pothole or abnormal circumstances but resulted in a bubble in the sidewall of another tire. Bubble was caught before blow-out incident could occur. These tires are unsafe and there are numerous complaints of this dunlop sport tire scattered across the internet. NHTSA needs to take action by requiring Volkswagen to replace these tires with tires of better quality that will not develop compromised sidewalls or are at risk to blow-outs. This should be done at no cost to the consumer as VW made the decision to equip the vehicles with these poor quality unsafe tires.
