Read complaints for MICHELIN PILOT (Unknown)
Have repeated tire failures in 3 michelin pilot mxm4 rbl 94v tl p225/55r16 tires @ 30,000 miles due to very small pinhole leaks in the sidewall seam. The tires came as oem tires with my new 2003 acura rl 3.5 sedan. Had to junk the tires since the leak developed slowly while driving on the highway. Contactedmichelin and reported this complaint but they did not care to answer! the sidewalls are extremenly weak for a 225 hp high performance vehicle.
I have had two valve stem failures in as many months.
On may 13, 2005, i purchased a used car from dc motors of anaheim hills, ca.the car came from walter mercedes riverside, ca.the car was not reconditioned before selling.the company intentionally defraud mesince i have a paperwork from the dealership that the car has been throroughly check from bumper to bumper.todate, my car has been in the shop for a totalled of 12 days, 4 various visits.the following were the problems:missing grill, shaking in the steering, car needs new tires and fron wheel alignment, humming noise, hot air coming out of the pedal, incorrect tires specification currently installed, the retractable hardtop stop functioning.i had to pay $302.00 for the missing and neither dc motors and walters takes responsibility to take care of the problem.
Carried my milan premier for its required annual state of nc inspection.the vehicle failed the inspection due to the following:the rear led lights glowed in the brake light mode when the headlights were turned on.when the brakes were applied, the small rear light below the rear spoiler came on. Both rear lamp assemblies had to be replaced by a ford dealer.without the inspection i would not have known the problem existed.a search on the internet indicates many similar problems with milan premier led lights.this is my first vehicle with led lights. Based on my experience, a warning system should be placed on vehicles with these lights if they perform in this manner when malfunctioning. The consumer stated he recently noticed a crack in the sidewall near the top of all the tires, located in a groove that circled the tires.the tires were inspected, and a gesture of goodwill credit was offered. The store representative blamed the condition on dry rot and further stated that any type of solution would hastened the cracking problem.updated 04/03/14

Vehicle equipt with low profile sports tires.while driving on sr2 in jeruselum township ohio i lost control of the vehicle and began skidding on black ice.anti-lock brakes did not engage to my knowledge and $9000 damage was done to the vehicle.rear axle failed during the impact into an embankment which absorbed much of the impact.side airbag deployed as designed but front did not.i am assuming that this is due to me sliding backwards up the embankment without any direct frontal impact.i walked away from it but am concerned about the fact that hyundai has marketed this car towards the younger "invinvible" generation who do not realize these tires aren't made for fast driving in bad weather.i am also concerned about why the antilock brakes did not engage.the car is at brown automotive and is still awaiting repair.i have informed the insurance company about the brakes and will follow up with this report when i get word.

Since november 2008, i've had to buy two new tires and replace the valve stems on the other two tires on my 2007 mercury milan.faulty valve stems cost me $450 on a car that wasn't even two years old.the mechanics who worked on my car all informed me of the bad valve stems that went out in 2007, so why as an owner was i never told about this problem when i purchased the car?isn't it the manufacturer's responsibility to inform the customer or be pro-active and replace the tires?

My wife was driving our 04' camry limited edition with michelin p235/45/18 mxm4 factory installed tires at 70 miles an hour one tire blew out. The company was sent an e-mail outlining the incident. They ask us to bring the tire in to be checked. After examination we were told the failure was due to a small puncturethe size of a tooth pick in the center of the tire. The rip in the tire where it blew was about 8" long and was right at the area of where the belt meets the side wall. The event caused my wife to become extremely upset. We have ordered 4 new tires from costco because my wife does not believe the company's findings. Upon further examination by me i noticed the inside of the tire rubber was extremely damaged only on one side that blew in a circle where the belt joins the side wall. The opposite side was in pristine condition. We have our cars dealer serviced routinely. The new tires have cost us more than $1000.00 for 4 new tires. We do not accept the company's findings and wish to go on the record regarding this tire failure incident. The vehicle is still parked awaiting the delivery of the new tires which are not stocked any where locally.

On 3/18/09, i had a tire fail on my 2007 ford fusion because of a re-called dill # 414 valve stem. I had to replace the michelin tire that had 10,487 miles on it. I also replaced the other three valve stems that were cracked (also dill#414). I am six weeks away from traveling from michigan to florida at interstate speeds of 70 mph. If this tire had failed at those speeds, i don't think i would have been able to control my vehicle to a safe stop. Ford motor co. (gorno ford dealership in woodhaven, mi.) has no information about this problem. When i called tech international (clay johnson at 740-967-9015), he said that ford motor co. Dearborn is well aware of this problem.this is a serious safety problem that could have resulted in a fatal injury. I have the defective valve stems in my custody.

The portion of the tire which comes in contact with the road surface completely separated from the remainder of the tire. The dislodge portion of the tire passed completely over in front of the consumers vehicle and proceeded to roll in the pathway of three adjacent lanes of traffic. The consumers vehicle was damage due to loosing some control of the vehicle when the incident occurred.

The regulator and motor were replaced.
Little tiny cracks have appeared on the sidewall of the tires near the rim, which i believe are created due to the tires being dry rotted. Does this mean the tires are too old when they were put on the car? the car dealership makes it sound like this is normal wear.

My michelin pilot sport ms tire 235/45z/r17 developed a bubble on the inside wall of the tire and leaked air. The tire was used under a normal comuting routine and never placed under any unusual stress or road conditions. It could not be repaired and had to be replaced.

The old tire was left at the tire dealer and was disposed. A letter from the dealer confirming this condition is possible.

I have a 2004 cadillac xlr with 8031 miles.the car has michelin pilot zeropressure tires. The sidewalls bubble when you hit a pothole, and i don't mean a big pot hole. I have watched many cars travel through this part of the road and hit the same pot hole i hit without their sidewalls bubbling and having to replace the tires.this happened on the first and only pothole i hit.these tires sell for $415.00 plus tax.they should hold up at least as well as the 79.99 special which had no damage to their tires.
Going home from work near dusk on the freeway, my car began to veer to the left then the right making it very difficult to control the car.i had never experienced any problems with the car (only a year and a half old) so i had no idea what it could be.i began to get very nervous especially with trailer trucks driving near me.as i began to pull over i heard a loud noise come from the rear passenger side.once stopped,i quickly went to inspect the passenger side where i saw that my tire had completely separated from the tread.at this point, i really got scared just thinking of what could have happened to me if i had completely lost control.the good thing is that i am usually a safe driver.i assume that if i were driving in excess of speed i would not be here now. After ten minutes of recovery, i proceeded to change the tire. I was near a sam's so i decided to see if i could have someone look at the tire and have it changed but it was late (8 pm) and they were closed.

A michelin hxmxm4 225-50-17 installed on my ford fusion 2006 just lost all the tread area after just some 1500 miles on it. I called ford and michelin and i got no answer. Since the tires are made in the usa and ford is a us brand, i would like to file this complaint. I have plenty of pictures i might send to you in case you need them. I have called michelin, because this is a brand new tire, so there is no tires on any dealer, and also, to ask them to honor the warranty but it seems that no one wants to help out and they say it must be my fault and not michelins fault since their tire have never ever had such type of problem.thank you.

On 3/18/09, i had a tire fail on my 2007 ford fusion because of a re-called dill # 414 valve stem. I had to replace the michelin tire that had 10,487 miles on it. I also replaced the other three valve stems that were cracked (also dill#414). I am six weeks away from traveling from michigan to florida at interstate speeds of 70 mph. If this tire had failed at those speeds, i don't think i would have been able to control my vehicle to a safe stop. Ford motor co. (gorno ford dealership in woodhaven, mi.) has no information about this problem. When i called tech international (clay johnson at 740-967-9015), he said that ford motor co. Dearborn is well aware of this problem.this is a serious safety problem that could have resulted in a fatal injury. I have the defective valve stems in my custody.
Noticed low tire, went to fill with air, and valve stem pulled out of tire.went to dealership, and they sold me a new tire.i explained the situation, with the valve stem, but they made no comment of any problems. I have the old valve stem.

Since november 2008, i've had to buy two new tires and replace the valve stems on the other two tires on my 2007 mercury milan.faulty valve stems cost me $450 on a car that wasn't even two years old.the mechanics who worked on my car all informed me of the bad valve stems that went out in 2007, so why as an owner was i never told about this problem when i purchased the car?isn't it the manufacturer's responsibility to inform the customer or be pro-active and replace the tires?
