NHTSA Complaint #10341777 — 2006 DODGE RAM 1500

MY 2006 DODGE RAM HAS THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20 INSTALLED. MY TRUCK JUST TURNED 40K. MY TIRES ARE ALWAYS ROTATED AND PROPER TIRE INFLATION. I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT MY TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING. FIRST IT WAS MINOR THEN IT FINALLY IS TOO MUCH TO BARE. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TWICE BEFORE THINKING IT WAS A BALANCE WEIGHT ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE TIRE STORED REMOVED OR ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT. THERE WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE COMING BACK FROM A 1400 MILE ROAD TRIP RECENTLY. AT FIRST THERE WAS THE USUAL SMALL VIBRATION, BUT AT THE END OF THIS TRIP THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING BAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND COME TO FIND OUT THE REAR TIRE WAS FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPARATION. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS TIRE DID NOT SEPARATE DURING MY TRIP. I PLAN ON CONTACTING GOODYEAR, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE OR WILL BLAME IT ON DRIVING STYLE. I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMEONE THAT HAS RECEIVED A WARRANTY OR PRO RATED PRICE FOR NEW TIRES. DODGE NEEDS TO STOP PUTTING THESE ON THE TRUCKS OR SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED, LIKE MY FAMILY ALMOST DID. *TR
