NHTSA Complaint #11193239 — 2016 ENTEGRA ASPIRE

ON JULY 6TH, 2018 ABOUT 11:30 AM, I EXPERIENCED A FRONT PASSENGER BLOWOUT ON MY 2016 CLASS A MOTORHOME. MY RV WAS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR G670 TIRES 295/80R22.5 THAT CAME ON IT AT PURCHASE. TRAVELING EAST ON I-10 JUST BEFORE BAYTOWN, TEXAS. DRIVING AT 62 MPH ON A DRY SUNNY DAY THE TIRE BLEW. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I WERE INJURED BUT, THE EXPERIENCE WILL LAST A LIFE TIME, THE TIRE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF OUTER DAMAGE AND I ONLY HAD JUST OVER 20K MILES ON THE TIRES. THE BLOWOUT CAUSE THE RV TO STEER HARD AND FAST RIGHT SENDING THE RV ACROSS ONE LANE AS I FOUGHT TO KEEP IT FROM STRAIGHT. IT LEFT THE FREEWAY HEADING ACROSS THE DITCH TO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD. IN MY FIGHT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP DOWN THE CENTER OF A DITCH. ONCE THE RV WAS RECURRED, TIRE REMOVE I TOOK WHAT WAS LEFT TO THE GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER IN BAYTOWN ON I-10 TO MAKE A CLAIM. NOT HEARING FROM THEM AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, I VISITED THE CENTER AND MADE 2 CALLS OF INQUIRY. TODAY IS APRIL 1ST, 2019 AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE CENTER OR GOODYEAR. THE BLOWOUT DAMAGE COST OVER 60K DOLLARS.
