Owner Complaints (6)
You experienced three flat tires on your 1996 Corolla within four months (May-August 2005) due to faulty valve stems on Goodyear Ultra HP 4 tires purchased in January 2005. One incident left you stranded for six hours on a highway, resulting in impound and citation fees. After contacting Goodyear, they acknowledged a bad batch of valve stems from around Christmas 2004 and replaced yours with metal truck-type valve stems, which resolved the issue. The fix involved replacing the defective valve stems with higher-quality metal versions.
