FOUR (4) Cooper Adventure HT 245/65R17 were purchased in late 2019 from PepBoys at 6900 Highway 6 North, Houston, Tx 77084. One tire (front Driver side) began separating on November 2021 and was replaced at no charge by PepBoys under Mfg Warranty. 2nd Tire (Rear Driver side) experienced a blowout while driving to Houston along I10 east of Shulenburgh, Tx, on Sunday July 24th. Fortunately i was able to replace blowout tire with the spare but my son's safety and my own safety was compromised as the shoulder on that stretch of the interstate is not very wide as i replacing the tire within 4Ft of zooming 18-wheelers and other vehicles going by in 100F degree weather. The incident ocurred at 545pm aprox - The blowout caused the rear fender to break and the moulding above the tire and rear door broke from the car also. I estimate the repair will cost around $5-6K or so aproximately. PepBoys replaced blowout rear tire and the other 2 tires as well.

ALONG THE ENTIRE UPPER BODY OF THE CAR THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE PAINT WHICH I ATTRIBUTED TO A PAINT DEFECT. IT NOW HAS RUST DAMAGE TO THE UPPER FRAME ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD AND ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE CRACKS WERE. ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD IS THE WORST DAMAGE WHERE IT HAS EATEN INTO THE FRAME.

Is 45 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2010 and 2026, roughly 3 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
