I was driving on the interstate on a clear day. All of a sudden, my car started fish tailing, and I was unable to get back in control of the car. My car spun around 360 degrees twice, crashing into a concrete median. My passender side front & rear bumpers as well as my front & rear quarter panels were crushed. The rims were also bent on the front & rear passenger side of the car. This was all the result of a 2 brand new toyo tires, on the rear wheels, that had only been on the car 3 days. The new, passenger side, rear tire blew out. These tires were: p185/65r14. Due to the hood & trunk being shifted, the car barely avoided being totalled out due to potential structural damage underneath.

I was proceeding approximately 35 MPH through a neighborhood when the front left tire of my car blew out. The consequence was temoprary loss of control of my car which resulted in my car hitting the curb and doing damage to my wheels. Goodyear investigated and stated that there was a substantial impact causing over-deflection of the tire and fracture of the steal belt package and or linear material. As I was present, clearly the blowout took place prior to any impact of the car. Goodyear denies any responsibility or liability.

I had originally purchased goodyear aquatred3 tires for my honda civic, on janurary 24,2004. In the time that the tires were purchased until the first tire issue, I had only put about 1000 miles on the tires. On march 13, 2004 I was driving along the freewayin the fast lane. The front driver side tire blew out due to sidewall failure of the tire. This caused the hub cap to disinigrate as well as bending the rim. Upon getting the tire placed with another goodyear aquatred3, I moved the driver side rear tire to the drivers side front, and replaced the bent rim with a new rim and had that tire and rim installed on the drivers side rear. On march 26, 2004 the tire that was moved to the drivers side front, had developed a tennis ball side ballon on the side wall, luckily I had felt the car start to shake and pulled over before I had another blow out. I am now having all the tires replaced.

My back left tire blew out while driving at approximately 70 MPH (speed limit) on the interstate. My tires had just been rotated and balanced, and the air pressure adjusted on saturday, january 11, 2003. At that time, no problems were reported. I had 33,000 miles on the car/tires and had the tires rotated every 7500 miles. My tires were firestone fr680, p185/65r14 85s. This happened without warning, causing the car to begin a sudden spin across the interstate. No one was injured, unbelievably. I returned to the place where I had my tires rotated and balanced just two days before. They were very helpful and replaced the tire at no cost. They also inspected the valve of the tire that had a blowout and found it to have a leak.

When the car was 2 weeks old, we returned from a drive and found the car would not shut off, even with the ignition in the "off" position and the key removed. The engine sounded as though it was trying to start itself, even though it was still running. I put the key back in and turned it to the "on" position, at which point the unusual noise disappeared, and the car seemed to idle normally. I turned it off again, and the noise returned as the car kept running. I turned the key on and off a few times before the engine finally stopped. As I got out of the car, I noticed smoke rising from under the hood. I opened the hood and saw that a fire was burning on the starter and the nearby rubber hoses. I unsuccessfully tried to blow out the flames, which we put out using a fire extinguisher from our apartment building, which we were parked in front of. All damaged parts were replaced by the dealership service department, although there is still a burnt smell evident after driving the car. I informed honda of the problem through their "new owner survey" and a letter to their customer relations zone office.
