ON 8/30/2013, WE PURCHASED A NEW SET OF 4 TIRES FROM COSTCO, IWILEI HAWAII. ON 9/28, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. NO PUNCTURES PER GOODYEAR OF KAILUA. ON 10/6, THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT AT A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. NO PUNCTURES PER COSTCO, IWILEI. ON 11/4, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. NO VISIBLE PUNCTURES. RIM DAMAGE. I HAVE NOT TURNED IN CAR FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT YET. I WANT 3RD PARTY INVESTIGATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING TO COSTCO. ALL TOLD, WE PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES AND 3 REPLACEMENTS (INCLUDES GOODYEAR MISMATCHED REPLACEMENT TIRE). THIS 11/4 WILL MAKE IT THE 4TH REPLACEMENT. THIS PATTERN OF FLATS FOR THIS SET AND BRAND OF TIRES ARE TOO ALARMING TO IGNORE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY AND WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND HOW WE CAN GET COMPENSATION AND REMEDY FOR ALL THE TROUBLE AND DAMAGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVE AT 72 MPH ON A STRAIGHT, DRY INTERSTATE, I MOVED MY SEAT BACKWARD. SOMEHOW DURING THE PROCESS, I MUST HAVE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. BECAUSE THE CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR FISHTAILED, WHILE I HELD THE WHEEL STEADY UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY AND NEVER HAD A CAR FISHTAIL ON ME BEFORE. I FEEL THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS NOT NORMAL AND IS UNSAFE.*AK
