2014 Volkswagen Jetta Tires & Wheels Problems

I BOUGHT THESE TIRES AND ABOUT 30K MILES IN THERE WAS A SHAKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAD BEEN TOLD THE TIRES WERE ALMOST FINISHED. I HAD TO PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW SET OF TIRES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE: 205/55/R16 91H. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION AND STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD SKID WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IN ADDITION, BOTH FRONT TIRES LOST PRESSURE. IN ADDITION, THE TREAD SEPARATED IN CHUNKS FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE TIRES DID NOT GRIP THE ROAD AND SLIPPED WHEN MAKING TURNS. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,945 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

2014 VW JETTA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH LOW TIRES AND HANDLING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING ON DRY, WET OR EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER SINCE ITS PURCHASE 13-NOV-2013 AND WASN'T UNTIL 1-MAY-2015 THAT WE NOTICED 3 OF THE 4 TIRES HAVE SIDEWALLS WHICH HAVE SEPARATED AND COME APART ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE AS WELL AS IN MULTIPLE PLACES OF THE TIRE. THE TIRES HAVE 20,000 MILES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SIDEWALLS ONLY. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE I HAVE NOTICED WITH THESE TIRES AND I AM HAVING THEM ALL REPLACED! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND HIT A POTHOLE. IT WAS A VERY BAD HIT SO I ASSUMED IT GAVE ME A FLAT TIRE. I DID NOT HAVE A FLAT TIRE, THE RIM COMPLETELY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. I UNDERSTAND A RIM BENDING BUT THIS SEVERE OF A CRACK IS A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO HAS THIS CAR OR THESE RIMS. *TR

TIRES PUT ON THE 2014 VW JETTA GLI (DUNLOP SPORT) FROM FACTORY ARE OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND COULD CAUSE A BLOW-OUT AND AN ACCIDENT. FIRST INCIDENT WITH POTHOLE CAUSED A TIRE BLOW-OUT ON FRONT PASSENGER TIRE, BUT EXECUTED A CONTROLLED MANEUVER TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER. SECOND INCIDENT INVOLVED NO POTHOLE OR ABNORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES BUT RESULTED IN A BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL OF ANOTHER TIRE. BUBBLE WAS CAUGHT BEFORE BLOW-OUT INCIDENT COULD OCCUR. THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS DUNLOP SPORT TIRE SCATTERED ACROSS THE INTERNET. NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION BY REQUIRING VOLKSWAGEN TO REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH TIRES OF BETTER QUALITY THAT WILL NOT DEVELOP COMPROMISED SIDEWALLS OR ARE AT RISK TO BLOW-OUTS. THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER AS VW MADE THE DECISION TO EQUIP THE VEHICLES WITH THESE POOR QUALITY UNSAFE TIRES. *TR

CONTINENTAL 225 45ZR17 CONTROL CONTACT TIRED ON 2914 VW JETTA TDI HAVE FAILED TWICE SINCE WE PURCHASES VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2013. TIRES ARE DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED. *TR
