215/60/r16- replaced 6 tires all under 2500 miles of use. Have all receipts. The tires were always losing air even with being brandy new, would slide with brand new tread and it did not have to be raining. I spent a lot of money on the tires to only go with a different brand finally after going to have to replace 4 more tires under the 2500 mark, yes I had the warranty for free replacement. But discount tires deemed the sentury touring tires a road hazard. I also have pictures of how they looked even with air in them. I purchased them from a discount tire store as well. They have all my documents on file to prove my statement. Sentury company needs to investigated on their tire quality as the tires could have caused blow outs and killed my family or myself or even another person. As you can see in the picture yes they are dirty, but plenty of tread. These tires are supposed to be reliable for 40k miles. These were either the second or 3rd replacement for this brand depending on what part of the car, either front or back. And again not even 2500 miles did they last.

I purchased tires for my 2008 vw Passat turbo 4 door sedan. I selected four cooper cs4 touring tires. I bought them about a month ago, September 17, 2012. Almost immediately after the installation of the cooper tires, I noticed a pulsating noise when the steering wheel is turned either left or right; the noise frequency is a function of speed. So, two days later, I brought the car back to the dealer. A mechanic checked the tires, wheels, and mounting; he could find nothing obviously wrong. So, I took the mechanic for a ride. He heard the noise, and told me that it would disappear after the tires were broken in or worn in. The noise has seemed to increase of late. I am concerned that the tires may be defective. What do you think?.

Tire pressure issues with Volkswagen vehicles. I purchased this vehicle back in 2007 and about nearly a month after purchase I have had issues with tire pressure. No one from the vw dealer I purchase the car from or another vw dealer can tell me what the issue is. The refrain is there is nothing wrong with the tires. Each month up until July I have to put air in my tire, when I reached the 50k marker and tires were rotated I have to inflate the tire every 3-4 days.

In an effort to make this as short as possible, I bought 4 new continental contiproco tires in June 2009 for a 99 vw Passat. After driving less than 7k miles, while traveling in the middle lane of a major highway about 65 mph the right rear tire separated into 3 pieces. I did not hit anything that I know of and pulled off the road immediately. It was similar to a truck retread tire that separates and you see on the road all the time. Continental will replace the tire but quite honestly I don?t trust their products at this time. If this occurred on a front tire, I would have rolled over.

Bought the car new and have had to deal with defective tires, defective ignition coils causing two major breakdowns at highway speeds with children in the car. The last two ignition coils were recalled. The car will not run if it is wet from heavy rain and has to be completely dried before the breaks work properly. Oil pump was replaced 14 months ago, another major breakdown on highway with children. It has broken down yet again. . . The dealership says it needs another oil pump because of sludge, about $2000, not under warranty because it is past the 12 month, 12,000mile mark. Two other private mechanics told me, replacing the oil pump would only disguise, temporarily the real issue. . . . The engine is junk. It now sits in my driveway because it is not under warranty because I am missing some oil change receipts. Also the blinkers don't work, the rear door won't open, auto locks work intermittently and headlights have been replaced twice and are out again. This was the first new car I ever bought. I bought the car after a divorce because I wanted a dependable car to commute to work and transport my children safely. The car has 85,00 mi.

I own a vehicle that is subject to recall program 02v026000, which I learned about from consumer reports magazine. I have not received a recall notice from volkagen , so I called the Volkswagen customer service line (800-822-8987). I was told this is not an actual recall. Their spokesman said they are just informing consumers not to drive on a flat tire as possible damage could occur. He said there would be no fuel leak or other danger. Is this an actual recall, should I take immediate action, and should vw pay for the corrective action?.
