Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND 1 MILE FROM WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED TO SWERVE FROM BEHIND. I TURNED MY SIDE MIRROR TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHAT I SAW FRIEGHTENED ME. MY TIRE WAS WOBBLING INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL AND BEGAN TO MAKE A METAL ON METAL GRINDING SOUND. THE CAR HAS HAD 2 RECALLS DEALING WITH THE BACK TIRE, AND EVERYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO THINK THAT THIS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE. MY CAR WAS SWERVING FROM BEHIND AND THE ENTIRE WHEEL WELL WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE 'TILL I SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ON THE SITE. *AK
