NHTSA Complaint #10448590 — 2010 FOREST RIVER CARDINAL

IN SEPTEMBER 2011 WHILE PULLING MY NEW 2010 FOREST RIVER XLR, WE HAD A TIRE EXPLODE DOWN THE MIDDLE. WE HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 20 MINUTES AND TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. WE HAVE LESS THAN 2400 MILES ON THE TIRES. I PERSONALLY CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND LUG NUT ON BOTH MY 5TH WHEEL AND TRUCK BEFORE GETTING ON THE ROAD. I NOTIFIED LIONSHEAD SPECIALTY TIRE & WHEEL AND THEY REFERRED ME TO VOMA TIRE. VOMA TIRE TOLD ME TO SUBMIT PICTURES WHICH I DID AND A ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGES. I SENT ALL THIS IN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE AT VOMA SENT A CHECK FOR THE DAMAGES TO MY 5TH WHEEL AND ONE TIRE. I ASK ABOUT THE REST OF THE TIRES AND SHE STATE THAT SHE COULD NOT WARRANT THE TIRES AND WOULD ALLOW ME $65.89/ TIRE AND + $10.00 MOUNTING FOR EACH TIRE. SHE STATED THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE TIRES AND CUT THE DOT NUMBER OFF AND SEND THEM TO HER AND SHE WOULD ISSUE ME A CHECK. AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES, CUTTING THE DOT NUMBERS OFF AND MAILING THEM TO VOMA, THE PERSON HANDLING THE CASE WAS HOSPITALIZED AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME. THIS COMPANY SCAMMED ME. *TR
