Consumer Description

A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE FAILURE, WE NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BALANCE PROBLEM AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT RE-BALANCED. TWO DAYS BEFORE THAT APPOINTMENT, WE HAD A CATASTROPHIC BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. (65 MPH) THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED COMPLETLY WHERE THE TREAD JOINS THE SIDE WALL. THE CAR WAS CONTROLLED TO A STOP. WHEN WE CONTACTED GOOD YEAR, THEY SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH A BLOW OUT OF THIS TYPE AND WE WOULD BE COMPENSATED WITH A PRO-RATED DISCOUNT FOR ONE NEW TIRE, AS THERE WAS ONLY A 38% USAGE ON THE SEPARATED TIRE. MAYBE GOOD YEAR WOULD HAVE FELT DIFFERENTLY IF WE WERE KILLED IN A CRASH, RATHER THAN JUST LUCKY. DT
