NHTSA Complaint #11286818 — 2015 HONDA FIT

I HAVE HAD 2 FLAT TIRES IN THE PAST MONTH ALL SHOWING A SIGNIFICANT GOUGING TEAR ON THE INNER FACING SIDE OF EACH TIRE. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACED BY AAA AS A DEFECTIVE TIRE, BUT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT, MY AAA REPAIR GUY MENTIONED IT COULD LIKELY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH SOME PART OF THE CAR OR AXLE SCRAPING AGAINST THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRE. THE FIRST ONE WAS MY FRONT RIGHT AND THE CURRENT FLAT TIRE I'M DEALING WITH IS THE REAR LEFT TIRE. THERE'S NOTHING OBVIOUSLY VISIBLE AS THE CAUSE OF WHAT COULD BE SCRAPING AGAINST THE WHEELS. AS THE PICTURE BELOW SHOWS, THE SCRAPE IS IN A CLEAR CIRCULAR LINE WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE A STATIONARY PART ON THE CAR SCRAPING OR CUTTING INTO THE INNER SIDE OF THE WHEEL. WHEN FLAT TIRE WAS DISCOVERED CAR WAS STATIONARY. FIRST INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE LIGHT BEFORE I NOTICED A FLAT. WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY PARKED CAR THE REAR LEFT TIRE WAS FULLY FLAT AND NON-DRIVABLE. CAR WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET
