NHTSA Complaint #10821078 — 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA

IN SEPT OF 2015 WE HAD A BLOW-OUT WHILE ON I-71 IN OHIO WE WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH AND WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALMOST UPON AND EXIT RAMP WHERE WE COULD GET OFF AND PUT ON OUR "DONUT" AND PROCEEDED TO A TIRE STORE WHERE WE HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE.WE DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE, FIGURED WE HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO (10 JAN 16) MY WIFE, ON THE WAY TO THE STORE TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME AND COMPLAINED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW ONE OF THE TIRES ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE PREVIOUS DAY WHEN SHE AND MY SISTER WERE COMING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY THE PREVIOUS DAY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO HANDLE NORMAL THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AND ROUGH ROAD.. I WENT OUT TO AIR IT UP AND WHILE AIRING IT UP I NOTICED A PLY SEPARATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. SO I PUT THE "DONUT" ON AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY TO REPLACE THAT TIRE, ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT ANOTHER TIRE WAS WORSE THAN THE ONE I INDICATED. SO NOT TRUSTING THE FOURTH TIRE I HAD THE THREE ORIGINAL TIRES REPLACED. THESE TIRES WERE GOODYEAR, THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW. MY WIFE CALLED GOODYEAR AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE TIRES TO MOODY'S A GOODYEAR STORE IN FRANKLIN TN AND HAVE THE TIRES ASSESSED WHICH WE DID AND THEY CALLED GOODYEAR AND GAVE THEM THEIR REPORT.
