NHTSA Complaint #10060767 — 1996 FLEETWOOD FLAIR

I HAVE MICHELIN TIRES ON MY MOTORHOME WITH 225/70 R19.5 AND THEY HAVE APPROX 85% RUBBER AND I HAVE HAD 2 TO BLOW ON THR ROAD , 2 SEPERATE TRIPS. BOTH WERE ON THE REAR AND I HAD TO CALL FOR SERV TO INSTALL A SPARE. 1 ST TIRE DAMAGED THE UNDER CARRAGE OF THE HOME. BOTH WERE SIDE WALL BLOW OUTS. WE WERE LUCKY THIS WAS NOT ON THE FRONT DUE TO SPEED AT THE TIME WAS 65 MPH. 1 ST TIRE WAS COVERED WARRANTY. 2ND TIRE WAS DIAGNOSED AS RUN LOW ON AIR PRESSURE , I KNOW THATS NOT TRUE DUE TO CONALY TIRE CO SERV AND CHECKED PRESSURE AND WAS AS REQUIRED BY PLATE. MICHELIN AGRED TO PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE TIRE BUT THERE ARE 4 MORE ON THE UNIT AND WHAT WHEN THE BLOW. WITH ALL THE REPORTS OF MICHELIN TIRES BLOWING I DONT FEEL SAFE ON THE ROAD WITH THESE TIRES. MICHEKIN DEALERS IN THIS AREA DONT WANT TO HANDLE WARRANTY DUE TO EITHER MICHELIN WONT PAY OR IT TAKES 6 MONTHS TO COLLECT. 2 OTHER AQUANTIANCE THAT I HAVE MET IN THIS AREA , 1 HAS HAD 3 BLOW OUTS AND DAMAGE TO HOME, THE OTHER HAS 2 BLOW OUTS , BOTH ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH WARRANTH AFTER 1 TIRE. CONVERSATIONS ON THE ROAD FINDS LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH MICHELIN TIRE PROBLEMS AND MICHELIN WARRANTY PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH SAFETY TO OUR FAMALIES AND ANYONE ON THE ROAD. IT APPEARS THAT A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED IN THIS MATTER. NOT ONLY DO WE NOT GET PROPER WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES BUT WE HAVE TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY FOR ROAD SERVICE AND REPAIR ON OUR MOTOR HOMES. ALSO THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY STUCK BESIDE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. *AK
