| Consumer heard a noise in the front of vehicle. consumer stated he had been hearing it a little, but currently the noise became more pronounced. consumer had already replaced the transmission once. *ak the consumer had to fill the tires every week. the tires leaked air since purchase. the tire service dealer suggested that there was no leak and that corrosion built up on the wheels in which air escaped through the rim of tires. there was a thumping noise in the front end and seems like it happens worst on right turns, the left wheel bearing was loose in the hub bearing assembly, the hood hinges rattling excessive clearence, there was excessive slippage and the clutch burnt.

| Tread separation on uniroyal laredo p235/70r15 all season awr tire caused over $2,000 damage to suv and a messed up vacation. canister was just hanging after the failure. (canister bracket was badly damaged and hose from gas tank was disconnected.) the damage could have been very hazardous if a fire started. *nm | |||

| This problem first occurred at about 4600 miles. i took the tire to have it repaired at the tire shop i use. they told me it had some belt separation. i then went to the dealership where i had purchased the vehicle and was told by the service manager to take it to goodyear. i took it to goodyear and they told me that since my spare tire was already on that i should keep it on and that the tire only needed a flat repair. in september 2001 i started to notice a slight thumping noise coming from my vehicle i took it back to the dealership in october 2001 they replaced a front wheel bearing and the rear differential but still the thump. they told me it was a flat spot on the tire and that i had two bad tires and needed to go back to goodyear. the dealership told me that the other tire was bad too, not what goodyear told me approx. 8 months earlier. i am being told these tire problems are caused by my driving. i know this is not the case, i had a blazer 3 yrs prior to this one with a different brand of tires and not once did i have any problems. *ak (tiresize: p235/70r15) | |||
