Chevrolet Venture tire blowout problems

[XXX] 2021, Purchased 4 tires Walmart, Radar Dimax AS-8 size: 225/60R16. June 2023 tire badly separated. Denied warranty because Walmart did not install. Purchase 2 more identical tires and picked up [XXX] 2023 and installed both. Bad tire trashed no longer have in possession. Several months later had another tire separate so installed the extra tire I had. In March 2024 the wife told me the van was shaking again. Found two tires separating. One was from the newer purchase. Tried calling the Manufacture numerous times (800) 725-1482 to let them know of the problems with their tires and possible safety. Received no responses. I have never in my life had tires like the separate. Had a couple trailer tires years ago but probable heavy load and older tires, so expected. I have since purchased some Goodyear tires for replacement and currently have three of the separated tires and the one remaining good tire, which my wife will not let me install on anything she drives.

Bought 4 new goodyear viva 2 tires at walmart in approximately 2014 sometime. According to local tire shop they have 2014 date codes. Van started developing a low speed wobble when driving. Front l tire was low on pressure so took to a loca shop to have it checked thinking I just needed a patch. Wrong! The shop discovered a tread separation on the inside sidewall! Luckily I was not driving on the highway. After coming here and reading all the other almost identical complaints to me it looks like there is a trend of bulging/poor ride quality/blowouts and tread separation from these walmart goodyears. Luckily I only made a 2 mile round trip from home to a friends and I was able to catch this before I had a blowout.

We were driving down the street in port allegheny, pa about 25 miles per hour, when our rear firestone tire blew out. Our vehicle had just over 6,000 miles on it. There did not appear to be anything in the street to cause the problem. I contacted gmac and firestone, but neither suggested any recall of our tires. I am concerned about the safety issue and future blowouts at higher speeds. Since firestone refused to comply with the stated warranty, I purchased a competitor's brand at a slightly higher price.

Dt: the contact owns a 2005 chevy venture with 7 passenger seating. The contact stated that the air conditioning was not working . The fuel gauge worked erratically. . One minute it will show full and the next empty. Also havedproblems with the temperature gauge, they corrected that problem. The dash cluster, A/C pumps, and the A/C valve has been replaced and still not corrected the problems. You can be driving down the road the A/C will be cooling and then all of a sudden it will blow out hot air. Brakes were making a squealing noise. The van only has less than 10,000 miles. The dealership has been doing everything that the service representative iwas telling him to do. The service managerfrom gm told the service manager at the dealership to replace the throttle body to fix the A/C and that has nothing to do with the air conditioner. Also, there was another van with more miles than his that had same problems. The contact has been having problems with his van every since date of purchase which was april 29, 2005.

I was traveling on I-95 northbound on tueday, march 22nd near the hastings, florida exit. The tread on the lemans tire, p215/70r15 completely separated from the tire, the chevrolet venture van veered to the right, narrowly missing another vehicle. The tread was recovered, and saved, but it smashed the hoses that connect to the rear A/C compressor and also damaged my bumper ripping several bolts out. The man from aaa who changed my tire was amazed that I did not roll the van. He noticed fluid leaking out and checked to see if the gas tank was leaking. It was not. He thought it was either brake fluid or compressor freon. I did not hit any debris in the road and was going the speed limit of 65 MPH. The tire pressure was 32 psi. The dot number on the tire is hym3 ltb 4100. There is also another code on the tire q09l. I will attept to go to the firestone dealer and see about repairs. After reading many firestone complaints on your web site, it seems to me that firestone dealers are trained to say that tread separation is caused by hitting debris so the don't have to pay for damage. I will let you know of my experiece with firestone franchise at 10553 san jose blvd, jacksonville florida 32258.
