The contact stated while driving 35 MPH during a trip, the steering wheel started shuddering. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop, and the contact was informed that the two front tires had sustained tread belt separation and bulges. The two front tires were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the tire shop, and the contact was informed that the rear passenger's side tire had sustained tread belt separation, and the metallic belt was poking through the rubber. The contact requested that the rear tires be replaced as a precautionary measure. The rear tires were replaced. All four tires were replacement tires. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle failure mileage was 173,414. The tire failure mileage was approximately 16,022. The VIN was not available.

I FILED A COMPLAINT 10/18/2018; HOWEVER, THE COMPLAINT WAS FOR 2 OF THE 4 TIRES. TODAY'S COMPLAINT IS FOR THE REMAINING 2 TIRES WHICH HAD MANUFACTURER DEFECT PER THE SHOP. PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE COOPERTIRE,CS5 NOT CS4.T THERE'S NOT AN OPTION FOR "CS5 "T SO LIKE OTHERS I'M USING THE CLOSET WHICH IS "CS4 T". MY VAN STARTING SHAKING (AT THIS POINT I HAVE TWO NEW TIRES ON 4/18 (COOPER CS5 -T) AND THE OTHER TWO TIRES ARE ALSO COOPER CS5 -T, BUT PURCHASED 1/2016, 80K MILE "WEAR OUT WARRANTY" I'VE PUT 7K ON THE TWO "NEW" TIRES & THE OTHER TWO HAVE 48K (22K LEFT). THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, PEOPLE SHAKE, I STOP DRIVING IT ANYWHERE THAT WILL REQUIRE ME GOING OVER 35MPH.SHAKING ISN'T EVEN THE WORD FOR IT WHEN OVER 35 MPH. I CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ON MY 35MPH FOR 1.5 WEEKS.. NOT FUN WITH 4 KIDS TO RUN TO SPORTS SCHOOL & EVENTS. I GET THE VAN IN FINALLY ON THURSDAY, 10/18/2018. I GET A CALL FROM THE SHOP TO TELL ME THERE IS A "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" ON THE TWO OLDER COOPER TIRES. THAT DEFECT WHICH IS TYPED ON MY RCPT IS "FOUND THAT THE TIRE HAD A PLY SEPARATION CAUSING THE VIBRATION." SO I LOOKED IT UP, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY THE JARGON USED "TIRE SEPARATION IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A TIRE, AND CAN PUT THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND AT RISK. A SEPARATION CAN LEAD TO A TIRE BLOWOUT, WHICH IN TURN CAN LEAD TO ONE OF THESE EVEN MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. HEAD-ON COLLISIONS. ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS. ROAD RUN-OFFS. SIDE IMPACT INCIDENTS. AND, MORE. OFTEN TIMES, THE INJURIES SUSTAINED FROM THESE ACCIDENTS ARE SEVERE, IF NOT DEADLY." I'M A METICULOUS RECORD KEEPER AND DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLES. THE TIRES WENT ON 1/2016. ROTATED 1/11/2017, 5/17/2017, 3/2018, 4/2018,10/2018. OUT COME SAME AS LAST. 2 NEW TIRES I PAY FOR, NO OPTIONS, SO SAME BRAND ON AGAIN. IN 2016 I SPENT $675 ON 4 NEW TIRES, THEY SHOULD HAVE 22K LEFT OF WEAR. INSTEAD IN TOTAL I'VE PAID $106 TO HAVE THE BRAND TIRE ON IT.TOYOTA SAID ALL 4 TIRES WERE A PROBLEM 2/2018, DENIED

PURCHASED 4 NEW CS5 GRAND TOURING TIRES THAT HAVE 80,000 MILE "WEAR OUT" WARRANTY ON JANUARY 26, 2016. MILES = 174295. IN APRIL 2018, 1 YEAR 4 MONTHS LATER, MILES NOW AT 215089 (40K PUT ON, SO SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER 40K MORE) MY VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE, NOT HOLD AIR, I EVEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIR GOING INTO THROUGH THE VALVE, MY VEHICLE FAILED AN ALIGNMENT CHECK BY AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TIRE TREAD DEPTH FRONT DRIVER: 4 6 5 5 TIRE TREAD DEPTH FRONT PASS: 5 6 6 5 TIRE TREAD DEPTH REAR DRIVER 6 8 8 7 TIRED TREAD DEPTH READ PASS: 6 7 7 6 OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER 40K MILES OUT OF THESE TIRES. IN ADDITION THE WEAR ON THEM IS INCONSISTENT ON EACH TIRE. THE TIRE ISN'T WEARING RIGHT. ALIGNMENT RIGHT REAR CAMBER: -1.9 -.9. I HAD AN ALIGNMENT ACTUALLY TWO, BUT ONE CLOSE TO THIS APPOINTMENT. TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO WEAR I PURCHASED THEM, THE FINE PRINT COMES INTO PLAY. SURE THE CRAPPY TIRES, WEARING OUT POURLY, NOT HOLDING AIR, WON'T MAKE IT 80K, BUT I PAY HALF FOR TWO NEW TIRES PLUS LABOR, THE OTHER TWO TIRES DO NOT QUALIFY I'M JUST SOL. REPLACEMENT TIRES TO CHOSE FROM, THE EXACT SAME TIRE. SO I GET TO PAY FOR TWO NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SAME BRAND AND WARRANTY. UPDATE TO FOLLOW AS A "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE TWO TIRES THAT WERE ORIGINAL.

I BOUGHT A SET OF 4 DOUGLAS ALL-SEASON 215/65R16 98T SL TIRES AT WALMART. AFTER LESS THAN 4 MONTHS/600 MILES OF USE, 3 OF THE TIRES WERE DIAGNOSED AS SEPARATING INSIDE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. THESE TIRES MUST BE RECALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOUR VEHICLE SHAKES AT A MODERATE SPEED (BETWEEN 25-40MPH) AND YOU HAVE THESE TIRES THEN YOU SHOULD GET THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT THE BALANCE (I HAD THEM BALANCED TWICE) OR THE ALIGNMENT, IT IS A DEFECT IN THESE PARTICULAR TIRES.

I DROVE TO OHIO ON I-75 OCTOBER 21, 2012 AND MY FRONT 2 TIRES BLEW OUT AT THE SAME TIME - BR 001522 TIRES. A BIG SLASH IN ONE TIRE A SMALL HOLE IN ANOTHER. I PULL OVER AND SEE A LOT OF THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY OFF OF BOTH TIRES. I GET TO A TIRE STORE AND THEY SAID IT LOOK LIKE THE ALIGNMENT CAUSED THE WEAR.
