Tires
07/02/2005
I EXPERIENCED THREE FLAT ULTRA HP 4 GOODYEAR TIRES ON THREE DIFFERENT TIRES ON MY 1996 TOYOTA COROLLA DUE TO FAULTY VALVE STEMS IN AN APPROXIMATE 4 MONTH PERIOD (MAY 2005 - AUGUST 2005). THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2005 FROM THE GOODYEAR DEALER IN SACRAMENTO, CA. I WAS NOT INJURED BECAUSE OF THE FLAT TIRES. IN TWO CASES HELP ARRIVED QUICKLY, BUT IN THE JULY 2, 2005 INCIDENT I WAS STRANDED FOR SIX HOURS AND IT WAS A VERY FRUSTRATING AND UPSETTING EXPERIENCE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS IMPOUNDED FROM THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO PAY A PARKING CITATION BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER UNDER THE GOODYEAR CONTRACT NEVER RESPONDED TO MY CALL.

Electrical System
12/01/1998
TAIL LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS OPERATIONAL, IT STOPS WORKING IF I TURN ON HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 8 OR 9 TIMES WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THE BULB HAS BLOWN AND THEY REPLACE IT AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. THERE IS APPARENTLY A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BECAUSE WHEN WE PULL OUT THE "BLOWN" BULB AND PUT IT BACK IN, THE LIGHTS WILL WORK AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS BEEN OF ABSOLUTELY NO ASSISTANCE OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS.*AK
