TIRES:SIDEWALL
WE PURCHASED FOUR GOODYEAR AQUATRED 3 TIRES IN SEPTEMBER 2000. SINCE THAT DATE, THREE OF THE TIRES HAVE FAILED (IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER 2003; AND MARCH 2004). ALL THREE TIRES EXPERIENCED A FAILURE (A BLOWOUT) INVOLVING THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. WE BELIEVE THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURE IN THE SIDEWALL AREA INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR VEHICLE DURING EACH OF THE BLOWOUTS, AS WE WERE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON EACH OCCURRENCE. SINCE THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE, WE HAVE PLACED ONLY 33,101 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE TO DATE. THE AQUATRED 3 HAS AN 80,000-MILE WARRANTY RATING.*AK
