2001 Honda Civic Tires Problems

ON NOVEMBER 6, 2016, I REPLACED CAR TIRES (4 SETS, 1 SET) AT WALMART (#01004). MODEL: DEXERO 195/60R15 88H ( DOT: Y9K5 CVHX 0916). TODAY (8-22-2018), THIS SET OF TIRES TRAVELED A TOTAL OF 14,220 MILES. A FEW INCHES OF CRACKS APPEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE TWO TIRES ON THE FRONT WHEEL, POSING A MAJOR HAZARD. I WENT TO WALMART WARRANTY CLAIM IS REJECTED, I HAD TO PAY ANOTHER SET OF REPLACEMENT TIRES. I AM NOW COMPLAINING TO YOU, PLEASE HANDLE IT.

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH VEHICLE TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS TOLD, THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT A COMPLETE CHECK-UP BY THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP, BEFORE HE PURCHASED IT. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, HE EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE, THE DEPTH OF THE TIRES WERE RATED 3/32-4/32. ALSO, THE TIRES WERE A LARGER SIZE THEN RECOMMENDED. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES WERE SAFE AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ANY PART OF THE COST FOR THE TIRE REPLACEMENT.

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC WHOSE FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AT SEARS. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I BLEW OUT MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON A HIGHWAY AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VALVE STEM HAD BLOWN OUT AND I COULD SEE THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED. I WENT TO SEARS AND COMPLAINED BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT IF THE VALVE STEM WAS FAULTY I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE BUT THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME. I GOT A REPLACEMENT TIRE FROM THEM TO MATCH THE FRONT LEFT WHICH WAS A SEARS TIRE. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT, I WENT DRIVE MY CAR AND I NOTICED THAT MY FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS FLAT AND SUSPECTING THE VALVE STEM I CHECKED FOR IT. I NOTICED THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE TO GET THE VALVE STEM CHANGED. MY REAR TIRES ARE OLDER THAN MY FRONT TIRE AND THE VALVE STEM IS FINE. MY GUT FEELING IS THAT THE SEARS VALVE STEM ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY BOTH CRACKED, THE FRONT RIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT LEFT IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE VEHICLE HAS TECH INTERNATIONAL, MODEL TR418 VALVE STEMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES ON TWO OF HER TIRES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. SHE NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT WHEN HER VEHCILE STARTED TO LEAN. SOMEONE ASSISTED HER WITH PLACING A SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY PLACED AIR IN THE TIRES AND STATED THAT SHE MUST HAVE DRIVEN OVER A POTHOLE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED ANOTHER TIRE AT THE COST OF $161, BUT LATER HAD THE TIRE COMPANY RECTIFY THE ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER, SHE HEARD A THUMPING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT AND SHE NOTICED THAT THE VALVE STEM APPEARED TO BE CUT. SHE CALLED AAA AND THEY CHANGED THE TIRE. THE CONTACT ASKED THE TIRE SHOP IF THEY PURCHASED THEIR VALVE STEMS FROM DILL AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUTED THAT THEIR VALVE STEMS WERE FROM CHINA. THE PURCHASE DATE, SERIAL NUMBER, AND PART NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 59,900.

I HAVE A 2001 CIVIC WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE CIVIC CAME WITH FIRESTONE FR690 TIRES -- P185 65 R15 SERIAL # W2FPF9H2500 (FOR 3 TIRES) AND W2FPF9H2400 FOR THE OTHER TIRE. I STILL HAD THE ORGINAL SET OF TIRES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.*AK I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING ABOUT 65MPH WHEN THE SIDEWALL ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER HE COULD NOT FIND ANY PUNCTURE OR OTHER DEFECT WITH THE TIRE. HE INSPECTED THE REMAINDER OF THE TIRES AND NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL ON EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE. HE REPLACED ALL OF MY TIRES FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THE EXISTING TIRES WERE ALMOST ALL WORN DOWN. HE DID NOT PRORATE THE REPLACEMENT; JUST GAVE ME THEM FOR FREE; IN FACT HE GAVE ME A BETTER BRAND AFFINITY LH30 (NOT HARD TO DO). MY PERSONAL FEELING IS THAT THIS TIRE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S DEFECTIVE.
