NHTSA Complaint #10122311 — 2002 AUDI A6

PURCHASED NEW COOPER TIRES FROM GRAHAM AUTOMOTIVE @801 WEST 41ST ST, SIOUX FALLS, SD 57105 ON MAY 10TH OF 2004. MY AUDI HAD 24,105 MILES ON IT WHEN I PICKED IT UP. ON NOV. 17TH, 2004 I WAS RETURNING FROM SIOUX FALLS, SD @ ABOUT 11PM AND I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE DRIVERS FRONT. IT HAD 10,753 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO CALL SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THEM TO GIVE ME 75.00 ON THE TIRE I HAD TO GET. WELL ON MAY 23RD, 2005 I HAD RON LOBAN FROM DALE'S ALIGNMENT OF BROOKINGS, SD LOOK AT MY TIRES. THE 3 WERE SO WORE OUT HE RECOMMENED THAT I NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I DROVE IT TO MY RESIDENCE WHICH ABOUT 8 MILES FROM MY OFFICE. ON THE WAY TO WORK I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM WORK AND I BLEW THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE OUT AGAIN. THE TIRES ARE AT DALE'S ALINMENT @1006 MAIN AVE S. BROOKINGS, SD 57006- PHONE # FOR THEM IS 605-692-5712. GRAHAM AUTOMOTIVE SAID THEY CAN'T HELP. I FEEL THAT WITH THE MILEAGE OF 40805 WHEN THE SECOND BLOW OUT OCCURED. THAT MEANS I HAD 16,700 MILES ON 3 OF THEM AND THEY WERE SHOT AND THE 4TH BLEW WITH ONLY 10,755 ON IT THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. PLEASE HELP IN GETTING SOME HELP FOR THIS. I THANK YOU. ILA K. SWENNING
