GOODYEAR just lost a customer!

I feel your pain. I only have 9000 miles on my Cobra and my front left tire blew at 75 mph. Luckily I went off into the grassy median strip and slid to a safe stop (barely). The only damage seems to be to the boot. The dealership I bought it from won't cover it, so I begin my battle. Nice to know there is somebody else out there that has gone through this. I'm going to take it to a differenet dealership and to a Goodyear dealer just to see what they say. The dealer claims it blew because it was 6 pounds low on air (based on the other 3 tires that they claim were low as well.....NOT). Everybody I have talked to says 6 pounds ain't gonna cause it to blow. If I don't get any satisfaction soon, I will be going to the paper and a few other public forums. How long ago was it when your accident happened?

Fall back on a set of Nitto 555's.

I will not use them either. I took my mustang there to get an alignment. Alignment was fine til I got underneath my car about a week later and saw that the rubber boots on the rack were all twisted up real tight like. SO I called them and told them they had b/s mechanics that were not only lazy but had a million stupid excuses as to why something is wrong. I mean it couldnt be that the mechanic there messed up. THey said that the rack must be old b/c it should straighten itself out. First of all, that is b/s since the boots are suppose to be leak proof and not be able to get all twisted or untwist themselves. I continued to tell them that the the whole reason I needed an alignment was b/c I just installed a new rack and told them they lost a valued customer as well as any recommendations from me. Hell, I tell my friends to avoid them at all costs no matter what deals they may have. They told me to bring it in and they would fix it and make it right. All I told them is that bringing it back would give them the chance to mess something else up and that they have some lazy/ shady a$$ mechanics there..

Now that you mention it......that reminds me of the time I took my Explorer to them to balance and rotate my tires because I had a slight vibration in the front end. After they supposedly rotated them I still had the vibration so I took them to Mr. Tire. Turns out I needed 2 new tires. The ones Goodyear rotated had worn unevenly and had cables sticking out. Now, how the hell do you balance a tire and NOT notice THAT??? Final conclusion......GOODYEAR SUCKS!!

You could buy Mastercraft like me. Yeah, is cheap, but I haven't had any problems and I go from MD to NY doing sometimes 100+ MPH.
