Consumer Description

LEFT REAR PIRELLI TIRE ON MY 3 MONTHS OLD SAAB 9-3 BLEW UP ON FREEWAY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 5,500 MILES ON IT. I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE. CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL, IT VEERED LEFT, THEN RIGHT, THEN CIRCLED AROUND. I WAS SO SCARED THAT IT WILL HIT A DIVIDER OR OTHER CARS BUT A MIRACLE HAPPENED, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOPPED. I AM VERY UPSET WITH SAAB AND PIRELLI, SO FAR CUSTOMER SERVICES HAVE BEEN VERY POOR. I'M WAITING FOR PIRELLI TO DO THEIR INVESTIGATION. I AM SO WORRY ABOUT PIRELLI TIRES BLOWING UP ON ME AGAIN. NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. PLEASE HAVE OTHER SAAB OR PIRELLI CONSUMER WITH COMPLAINTS CONTACT ME AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS. THANK YOU.
