Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A DODGE DURANGO LESS THAN A YEAR AGO (JUNE 2003) I HAVE SINCE THEN REPLACED A TOTAL OF 3 TIRES. TWO OF WHICH WHERE THE SAME TIRE, REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRST TIRE WAS REPLACED IN OCT"03", THEN THE SAME TIRE REPLACED AGAIN IN NOV "03". THE THIRD TIRE THAT I REPLACED WAS IN FEB "04" THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUT THE RIP FOUND IN THE TIRE WAS NOT DICOVERED TILL I HAD MY TIRE ROTATION. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN TH REAR TIRE AS WELL. NOW THE ONE THAT I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWICE HAS BLOWNOUT YET AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME CAUSING A ACCIDENT MAY 1,2004. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME REPLACING THE SAME TIRE ALONG WITH MY WHOLE FRONT END GETTING REPAIRED. TOTAL OF NOW 4 TIRES HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS VEHICLE 3 OF WHICH WHERE THE SAME TIRE. ALL HAD RIPS IN THE TIRE WALL. COULD THIS BE A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? I CAN NOT AFFORD ALL THESE TIRE REPLACEMENTS AND INSURACE GOING UP. I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR ALL MY REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, CAR RENTAL, AND ETC.*AK
