Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA PA TO LINTHICUM, MD ON I-95, MY DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE - WHICH IS 6 WEEKS OLD - BLEW OUT. MY TIRE WAS NOT IMPROPERLY INFLATED NOR WAS I APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SPEED RATING. HAVING TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO SAFETY, DURING RUSH HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE WAS MORE THAN HAZARDOUS, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE PREVENTING INJURY TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGER, OR OTHER COMMUTERS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRE WAS PURCHASED WHO INFORMED ME THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE THROUGH THEIR ESTABLISHMENT OR THE MANUFACTURER. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A LEGITIMATE STATEMENT CONSIDERING THAT THIS TYPE OF DEFECT ENDANGERS SO MANY LIVES. PLEASE INVESTIAGE THIS INCIDENT AND ADVISE ME WHAT OTHER COURSE OF ACTION IS AVAILABLE.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/55R16)
