Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW JAN 10 2017. I HAVE PUT 1500 MILES ON IT AS OF 5/8/17. TODAY AT A STOP LIGHT WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT OR CHANGE, THE TIRE EXPLODED I FELT TH CAR MOVE OR WIGGLE, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I WENT TO INSPECT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS LOOKS LIKE A VOLCANO SPROUTED OUT OF THE TIRE. ITS NOT THE SIDEWALL THERE IS NO DAMAGE GOING INTO THE TIRE.. THE RUBBER HAS SPILT OUTWARD...THE METAL WIRING IN THE TIRE IS BENT OUTWARD. NOT INWARD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
