Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD THAT CARS HAD TO AVOID RUNNING OVER. THIS WAS ON THE 405 FREEWAY SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON THE ROAD CHP COMES TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE IT IS AN INCREDIBLY BUSY FREEWAY.WHILE DRIVINING, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD POP AND MY TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR KIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND I STARTED TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. I MANAGED TO CONTROL IT IN TIME TO AVOID CRASHING AT 65 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND NOTED MY TIRED POPPED AND DEFLATED. I WENT TO BIG O TIRES AND THEY TOLD ME THIS BLOWOUT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTION. THE TIRE HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CAME WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR IN MARCH SO THEY ARE NOT OLD. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS FOR NO REASON WITH THEIR NEXEN TIRES THAT HYUNDAI IS USING. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME MY LIFE IF I HADN'T REACTED QUICKLY TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE RUINED OR OVER DUE TO NEXEN
