1994 GENERAL MOTORS PREVIEW User Comment / Complaint

While driving my car, it started to pull to the right. i thought that it was the alignment and asked a friend to check it for me but when he was under the car he noticed that the driver front tire was ballooning on the top of the tire which is why the car was hard to steer and was pulling hard right. he then checked all four tires and noticed the back passenger tire was also starting to balloon on the top of the tire, he informed me that my tires are defective and the belts were seperating from the tires. immediately i looked up my tires on the internet and discovered that the same brand, make & model of tires were being recalled by the manufacturer due to belt seperation which results in vehicle crash. the problem is, cooper tire is recalling tires that were purchased during august of 2006 and my tires were purchased in 2004. when i contacted cooper tires i was informed that if my tires were purchased prior to august of 2006 that they are not recalls but i do feel that this problem was present long before 2006 and if not for my friend checking my vehicle, could have potentially been seriously injured. it is not a coincidence that these tires of exact brand, make and model should have the same defects. i am a single mother and do not have money lying around just in case i buy defective merchandise, the company should stand by their product and or rectify the problem, so far all i have received is frustration.
