NHTSA Complaint #10126947 — 2004 TAHOE 36WTB

WE SUFFERED THREE SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS ON OUR FIFTH-WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER IN ONE TRIP. THE TRAILER WAS WEIGHT WITH ONLY CLOTHES FOR A FOUR-DAY TRIP AND 50 GALLONS OF FRESHWATER. THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 80'S AND WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE AT ONLY 55 MPH AND HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ONLY 2 HOURS WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TRAILER TIRE BLEW W/O WARNING. THE TIRE QUICKLY BEGAN TO SHREAD ITS SELF AND DID OVER $800 DOLLARS IN DAMAGER TO THE SIDE AND UNDERNEATH OF THE TRAILER. FOUR DAYS LATER ON OUR RETURN TRIP HOME, WE SUFFERED TWO MORE BLOWOUTS. UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEWOUT THE SIDEWALL. AFTER CHANGING IT, WE GOT JUST TEN MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND A LEFT SIDE TIRE BEGAN TO DEVELOP A SOCCERBALL SIZE BULDGE AND BLEW BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
