This complaint is for the goodyear tires that came on my 2017 dodge ram 1500. tire is goodyear wrangler sa-r. tire size is 275/60r20. i was driving through pa on the way to ny driving a little over the posted speed limit (70mph) when the front drivers side tire blew out with no warning. only 5700 miles are one these tires and i was about 3 hours into a 6 hour drive with clear and cool weather conditions. there was no alert from tire pressure sensor stating they air was low. there was a loud bang and it pulled hard to the left into the left lane... thankfully no other vehicles where in that lane. at that speed it could've easily been a crash with fatalities. i've seen similar complaints about this same tire doing the same thing but goodyear won't do anything unless they get a certain amount of complaints about this. this should not happen at 5700 miles unless an object was struck which is not the case.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. while driving 50 mph or more, the vehicle drove roughly and the steering wheel vibrated. while driving with the rear windows down, the turbulence caused the vehicle to shake violently and caused ear trauma/popping and the contact's eyes to water. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (john hiester chrysler dodge jeep ram, 940 n main st, lillington, nc 27546 910-893-8088) where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be balanced and other windows should be opened for the turbulence. the rear passenger tire was replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 32784742. jessica at 844-378-0573 ext 81498 stated that the information about the turbulence was in the owner's manual. the failure mileage was 2,837.
Vehicle has had 4 complete set of tires, plus 2.... vehicle starts shaking and wobble while driving at 68-72mph. ram refuses to look into this. something i think in drive line or rear causing all these problem. something is causing tire damage..out of round and radial run out. shaking and wobble have never stop with all these tires and balances. i have all ro's if wanted
