| I experienced three flat ultra hp 4 goodyear tires on three different tires on my 1996 toyota corolla due to faulty valve stems in an approximate 4 month period (may 2005 - august 2005). the tires were purchased in january of 2005 from the goodyear dealer in sacramento, ca. i was not injured because of the flat tires. in two cases help arrived quickly, but in the july 2, 2005 incident i was stranded for six hours and it was a very frustrating and upsetting experience because my car was impounded from the highway and i had to pay a parking citation because the tow truck driver under the goodyear contract never responded to my call. when i complained to goodyear, the gentleman at the counter in the sacramento office told me there had a been a bad batch of valve stems around christmas-time 2004. they replaced my valve stems with 4 metal, truck-type valve stems and i have had no problems since. however, it has taken my two months to try and get reimbursement from goodyear for the impound and citation charges i experienced. until last week, when i said i thought this was a serious issue and would be complaining about it, i had been told that my claim had been denied, except for the $10 tire repair i eventually was able to get on 7/2. this week a new representative made contact with me and i may be refunded my expenses.*jb | |||
