About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In late May 2015, I noticed a bubble in my driver's side rear tire. I took my car to the dealership and they insisted that it was my fault. I had to pay to replace the tire. Now, not even two months later, I now have a bubble in my passenger side rear tire. The tires are from the same batch. The tires are Continental contiprocontact 215/55R16 93H tires. With these being potential blowouts, these tires are unsafe. The bubbles must be a defect. I never had issues with the tires on my old car.
