Continental Continental Tires Tread/belt Safety Report | Oct 30, 2002
Reported on Oct 30, 2002
| IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE FOUR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE HAD TREAD SEPARATION. MY CAR IS APPROX 1.5 YEARS OLD AND 17000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OCCUR AS I TAKE A 200 MILE TRIP ON THE TURNPIKE. ON EACH OF THREE TRIPS A TIRE HAS GONE BAD, ON THE LAST TRIP TWO TIRES WENT BAD. THE FIRST TIRE I REPLACED ON MY OWN, THE SECOND TIRE I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL AND THEY SENT ME TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THE TIRE DEFECTIVE (TREAD SEPARATION). I WAS OFFERED A PRO-RATA PRICE FOR THE TIRE. CURRENTLY I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL ONCE AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHECK THE TIRES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURANCE AND HAVING THE FOUR TIRES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THIS SHORT TIME FRAME IS UNUSUAL AND DANGEROUS. THE TRIPS I HAVE TAKEN INCLUDE MY WHOLE FAMILY, THIS IS A SERIOULY SAFETY CONCERN.*JB | |
