| Description of the problem | In august, 2010, we purchased 4 goodyear assurance fuel max tires. On december 7, 2012 , my wife and i experienced a blow out to our rear tire traveling on interstate-95 in florida at a high speed ((70mph) causing me to lose control of our 2007 honda crv. We swerving across six lanes of traffic, almost flipped, and narrowly avoided crashing into concrete a wall before i finally obtained control of the car and was able to pulley off onto the emergency lane. Our vehicle was serviced by goodyear in october, and the tires were inspected and rotated at that time. At the time of the blowout, the tires only had 27,000 miles on them. They are warrantied for 65,000 miles. We contacted the goodyear store the next day, and the manager inspected the tire and could not determine why the tire blew out. He asked if we hit something. We didn't hit a thing. We just heard a pop. The assistant manager of the store stated, "that's what they all say," regarding our statement that we hit nothing. The tire was not torn, but was split from rim to rim, completely severing the belts. My wife and i could have been killed in this accident and other drivers could have seriously injured as well. We do not want anyone to experience anything like this ever again. Goodyear claims that they do not have any problem with these tires, but we have seen similar complaints on the internet about blowouts on goodyear assurance tires. Goodyear offered us a small price adjustment to replace our tires, but we are afraid to purchase goodyear tires. Goodyear must recall these defective tires before someone loses their life. |
