2015 FORD ESCAPE Tires Problems

My Ford Escape was fitted with two Cooper tires (235/55 R 17) that had to be replaced with less than 20k miles on them. After using the tires in normal city/highway situations, both tires started to bulge causing vibration when driving the vehicle. This was due to the belts breaking within the tire. While this specific tire is not currently under recall, I believe it should be. There is no reason these tires should've worn out so quickly and it sounds like the exact same issue many of their other tires currently under recall have. They are well under their warranty of 80k miles, but I will not put another Cooper tire on my car. I've only included the TIN from one tire, because I do not have the TIN for the first one that bulged. It has already been removed and disposed of. This happened to both of my...

All 4 tires the inside sidewall . Are coming apart like a split . The size is 235/45/19 Kelly edge . Have only a little over 27.000 thousand miles on them .

All four of my 235/55R17 103V XL tires are dry rotting. They are separating and creating a crack all along the tire shoulder. I bought these tires brand new in January 2020, they are not even 3 years old yet. The tires can blow due to the dry rotting causing me to crash, getting them replaced ASAP. No warning to them getting worse, until I did a tire check early this month.

MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SECOND TIRE FAILURE TODAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OUR 2015 FORD ESCAPE HAS 11,011 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN MID-JANUARY 2016 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 9,537 MILES ON IT. THE SIDEWALL ON BOTH TIRES SHOWED A LARGE CRACK IN IT AFTER THE FAILURE. BOTH FAILURES WERE NOT THE RESULT OF STRIKING A ROAD HAZARD. THE TIRE DEFLATION LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AWAY WHEN THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE FAILURES DID NOT RESULT IN A COLLISION SINCE THEY OCCURRED AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC AROUND. THE FIRST FAILED TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MICHELIN TIRE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH BEEN DRIVING 40+ YEARS AND I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OF MY VEHICLES OR WITH A MICHELIN TIRE IN THE PAST. I STRONGLY SUSPECT THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE OR MANUFACTURE DEFECT...

MY WIFE HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THIS BRAND NEW CAR AFTER ONLY ABOUT 1,600 MILES. THE TIRES ON THIS NEW CAR ARE THE CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT 235/45 R19 95H. THERE APPEARED TO BE A SMALL GASH/SLIT TOWARD THE RIM OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE -- ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. MY WIFE DOES NOT RECALL DRIVING OVER ANY ROAD HAZARD THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH A GASH/SLIT. THERE WAS ALSO AIR SEEPING FROM THE TIRE WHERE IT MEETS THE RIM WHEN I TOOK IT INTO OUR FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHERE THIS WAS LEAKING. DOESN'T SEEM TO ME THAT WE NECESSARILY DID ANYTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS TIRE GOING FLAT AND I JUST WANTED TO REPORT IT SINCE THIS HAPPENED ONLY AFTER 1,600 MILES OF DRIVING ON THIS NEW CAR. THANK YOU. *TR
