Consumer Description

I CAN'T BELIEVE IM SEEING THIS IN THE NEWS! THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD US! I THOUGHT IT WAS A UNIQUE INCIDENT SO I JUST REPLACED THE TIRE MYSELF. I DID MENTION IT TO A SERVICE REP AT MY DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM (BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT THIS IRREGULAR FAILURES). I WOULD LIKE THE TIRES REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THE TIRES NOW. THAT DAY WAS A NORMAL MORNING IN MIAMI AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE SAME BRIDGE I DO DAILY TO GET TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY I HERE A SOMETHING HITTING THE BACK OF THE CAR. CONTINUOUSLY. IT ACTED AS A LOUD BANG. NOT LIKE A FLAT. SO I STOPPED AND THERE IT WAS, A BLOWN TIRE. HOW UPSETTING!!! WELL I HOPE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!*AK( DOT NUMBER: )
