Consumer Description

TRAVELLING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON INTERSTATE 95 MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON SIGNALING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY REDUCED SPEED AND MOVED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO MONITOR ANY CHANGE IN PRESSURE OR CONTROL. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR APPROX. 3 MILES WITHOUT ANY SIGNAL OF LOW PRESSURE AT WHICH TIME THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHIN 30-40 FEET AFTER BLOWOUT. THE TIRE ITSELF WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE RIM AND WAS 100% TORN FROM AT THE BELT SEAM ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. THE TIRE IN QUESTION WAS A CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT 225. VW WOULD NOT ADMIT DEFECT AFTER THEIR REVIEW ALTHOUGH MECHANICS AT MERCHANTS AND "OFF THE RECORD REVIEW" BY VW ADMITTED IT LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT. AT THE 10K SERVICE CHANGE AT VW, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND THE TIRES WERE APPROVED WITH SUFFICIENT TREAD NOTED.
