Consumer Description

ON THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE RIGHT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT. VALVE ROTTED, THAT TIRE WAS FIXABLE. WE QUESTIONED THE COLD WEATHER. WE FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE. ON JULY 15, 2012 REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH - WARM WEATHER - BROUGHT IT TO A TIRE COMPANY AND THEY STATED THE VALVE ROTTED ON THIS TIRE AS WELL AND THAT THE TIRE WAS UNREPAIRABLE. BOTH TIMES OUR 3 AND 6 YEAR OLD CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH US- THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I KNOW ANOTHER PERSON THAT RECENTLY OWNED A DODGE JOURNEY AND HAD A BLOW OUT - THEY ENDED UP ACROSS THE ROAD AND DOWN THE BANK. LUCKILY NO INJURIES. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. THIS COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY. THE VALVES ON THESE CARS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. TODAY I AM SPENDING $1325 TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND RIMS SO THAT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN DO NOT END UP IN A FATALITY. *TR
