1 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2015

After a long day of work, I returned to my parked vehicle to discover a totally flat front right tire, on closer examination it was noted that the tire had split on the outside seam. It was noted that the same condition of the tire splitting was visable on all three of the other tires on the vehicle. Flat tire was replaced with spare tire that had never been used. I returned the vehicle to the place that I had purchased the tires; the tech at the store examined the tires and declared that all four tires were manufactured from the same batch of tires manufactured by goodyear. And that all four were defected. Today I contacted goodyear and took my vehicle to their location. The man at goodyear stated that goodyear has never had a recall nor defective tires. That he would have to contact goodyear when they opened on the east coast. My complaint is with goodyear. And the validity of the goodyear tech stating that goodyear has never had a defective tire or recall on their tires.

Was driving on the highway to lansing when my check engine light came on and I lost all power and guage function. I began to hear a loud howling noise, pulled off at the exit went to the repair shop in portland, mi where my wheel hub exploded in their hand on the passenger side. The fan clutch has completely stopped working witch caused the vehicle to overheat, and loose all power and my 4 wheel drive locked right up and stopped working.
