2017 Honda Accord: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Oct 1, 2026 · Tires · NC

This is the second tire of the four purchased in 2022 that have cracks in the sidewall (tread separation from sidewall). They are the Goodyear Assurance Maxlife 235/40R19 96V. No warning to the loss of tire pressure and the time it takes for the cracks to propagate. When I brought the first tire back to Sam's Club (where I originally purchased the tires), the replacement was prorated based on tire wear. No indication that there was a defect on the replaced tire, and more importantly, no inspection or concern that the replacement left three remaining defective tire on the vehicle.

[235/40R19 96V XL] **I AM IN CANADA, NOT NEW YORK, BUT SINCE YOU ARE THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON RECALLS, CANADA USUALLY FOLLOWS*** Tires came with car, brand new, September 2017. In year 2, I noticed a repeated noise coming from the tires and assumed it was the brakes and had them serviced. During my research, I found many articles and complaints from Honda Accord drivers with the similar model and tire set-up as me complaining about this persistent noise from the tires and it was determined that the steel belt inside the tire has loosened or something and is free within the tire, causing this noise. I stumbled upon a the federal safety agency recall notice on Continental tires for this exact reason, however the year of my car is not included within this recall. This is my request, to have the 2017 model year, where Honda mixed between Michelin tires and Continental tires - and for owners like me to be reimbursed with a new set of tires, free of cost. Per the federal safety agency recall, this overheating during the manufacturing process causes the steel belt to become free and could cause a blow out. I would like my car and model of tire and the YOM to be included within this recall notice. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/continental-general-barum-tires-recalled-for-blowout-risk/

Hello, my name is [xxx] my husband and I purchased a new 2017 honda accord sport special edition that is equipped with 19 inch rims and continental tires in march of 2017 with 5 miles on the vehicle. The tires are rubbing part of the suspension creating friction that could result in failure of side wall thus having a blow out. This issue is putting my family and many other lives at risk. I have made honda aware of this issue numerous times at the honda world dealership located on hurstbourne lane in louisville ky. After numerous visits to the service department, additional air was pumped in the tire and the tires were rotated. Which solves nothing... Which is a bandaid. If you search youtube or the web, you will find that I am not the only consumer whom has made honda aware of this issue or is having this same issue. These other consumers who are suffering with this same potential disaster could put honda on the hook for severe problems. The service manager at honda world directed me to call honda corporate and while speaking with a customer service representative, I asked to speak to a supervisor. The representative advised that a manager nor a "higher up" was available for me to speak with. A few days later, I received a voicemail from case manager, [xxx] at honda who informed me they are aware of the issue with the tire brand and rim combination. At this time, my request for four different brand tires that will not impact my suspension on my vehicle was denied. She informed me that if I want to purchase four new tires, I can do so. Clearly putting the defect back in the consumers lap to fix. I suppose if we start having blow outs on honda accord and fatalities start to rise due to this known issue, honda might think it is cost effective to fix the known issue.

Tire pressure monitoring system problem. (TPMS problem) on a new 2017 honda accord hybrid sedan! As at 07/08/17. Tpm problem. I bought my new 2017 honda accord hybrid for its reliability. In less than six months. Two michilin tires have blown out. Both front passenger and rear driver side. The rear one blew out while driving on the highway. It was initially giving me low tire pressure warnings. After a week of taking it to the delearship I bought it to look at it and repair, it blew out unexpectedly on 07/06/17. I always replace those tire with my own money. The delearship told me the tires don't come with warranty! What? New tires from michilin? Incredibly unbelievable right. I have personally contacted michilin today 07/08/17 and they said they'll give me a call. I scheduled an appointment at the dealership on 07/08/17. They said they had repaired and test drove it. In less than 5 miles of driving average of 45mph, the system read. "tpm pronlem". Tire pressure monitoring problem. With the warning sign of low tire pressure inscribed on the instrument panel. With so much disappointment and unpredictability that I write this letter. Not knowing what will happen next with my new 2017 honda accord hybrid tire pressure monitoring system problem. Not even counting the damages caused: emotional pain with the love I developed for my vehicle, the disappointment, the financial cost-the car is actually not equipped with a spare tire. Any time the tire blows out, I need to emergently repair it with my own out of pocket money unexpectedly. Unsafeness- the first michilin tire blew out unexpectedly at night after 10 pm at a location in chicago I had no idea with. I had to drive it and park it in darkness at a shell filling station where it could have been towed. I had to take the public transportation more than an hour back to home where I lived. So unsafe.
