Tire Sidewall Problems of Toyota Matrix

While rotating the tires on my 2009 Matrix I noticed the inside sidewall was seperating (splitting) around the whole inside of the tire. There are no signs of sidewall damage from a hit or accident, the sidewall is just failing. This is a very dangerous situation and I am glad I caught it before the failure caused an accident from a blowout.

I own 2007 Toyota Matrix. 28,161 current mileage. Four (4) good year tires - eagle p205/55r/16 come with Matrix. Defective tires. Other 3 tires still looks good condition but one of the sidewall dried prematurely and the tire apart into 2 pieces while I was driving. I sent the email to contact goodyear last sat 8/27/2011. For safety reason, I would like to change different model tires. But goodyear did not reply at all. I take some pictures also.

1. We were driving down the highway at 60 mph and the car began shaking harder and harder. 2. The tire's sidewall was completely shredded on both sides, as if it were defective. 3. The tire will have to be replaced, but it is no longer under warranty as of last month.

Vehicle was being serviced at repair facility, technician advised all 4 tires had splits on sidewalls rendering them unsafe.

- the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Matrix. While driving on 12/21/06 in heavy traffic at 5 mph heard a knocking sound. The contact stopped the vehicle and observed that the tire failed and that the sidewall was damaged. The contact was certain that he didn't hit anything to cause the tire to fail. The contact placed a spare tire on the vehicle and drove it to the dealer. The dealer advised him to call the tire manufacturer and file a complaint. Sears informed the contact that the tire failure was due to road hazards. The contact stated that the road conditions were good.
