NHTSA Complaint #10851155 — 2014 LAKOTA CHARGER

GOODYEAR MARATHON ST235/80 R16 LOAD RANGE E ARE INSTALLED ON MY 2014 LAKOTA 8313 LIVING QUARTERS HORSE TRAILER. THE TIRES MAY HAVE 10000 MILES ON THEM. WIFE COMING HOME FROM HARRIMAN, TN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE EXPLODED. SHE DID NOT HIT NO POTHOLE OR RUN OVER ANYTHING. THE WHOLE CENTER TREAD OF THE TIRE SEPARATED. SHE WAS GOING NORMAL SPEED OF 55 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. SHE WAS TRANSPORTING OUR HORSES. WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED, IT CAUSED OVER 2500 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO OUR TRAILER. AFTER READING REVIEW AFTER REVIEW IN REGARDS TO THIS TIRE, WE ARE NOT THE FIRST ONES THIS HAS HAPPEN TOO. THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO PULL HORSE TRAILERS THAT HAVE HAD THESE TIRES DO THE SAME THING TO THEM-EXPLODE AND COME APART WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A POOR QUALITY TIRE MADE BY GOODYEAR. AN INVESTIGATION NEED TO BE OPEN ON THIS TIRE AND A RECALL ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED FROM A TIRE EXPLODING AND A TRAILER FLIPPING OVER.
