Consumer Description

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE. VEHICLE GOT NEW TIRES AND ALIGNMENT THEN TWO DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE LEFT. I WENT BACK TO THE TIRE DEALER, THE MECHANIC CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD A CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE CRACK WAS SO SEVERE THAT THE AXLE WAS ALMOST IN TWO PARTS AND AT THE BASE THERE IS A QUARTER INCH SEPARATION IN THE CRACK. THE TIRE IS NO LONGER LAYING FLAT. THE BOTTOM OF THE TIRE IS FACING OUT. IF THE MECHANIC DIDN'T FIND THE FAILURE THERE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *TR
