Most Recent Complaints
ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 MY HUSBAND & I WERE COMING HOME TO WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA FROM MT AIRY MARYLAND TRAVELING ON I95 SOUTH BOUND JUST OVER THE VIRGINIA LINE WE HAD A LEFT REAR TIRE ON OUR 5TH WHEEL TRAILER GO FLAT. WE CHANGED THE TIRE OURSELVES AND CONTINUE ON TO THE NEXT TRUCK STOP AND ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX OUR FLAT WE DID NOT WANT TO BE WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE WE STILL HAD 1000 MILES TO HOME. THEY TOLD US IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED IT WAS SPLIT ALL AROUND. WE WERE ON I95 SB AT MILE MARKER 82 NEAR DUNN NORTH CAROLINA AT 5PM HAD ONE RIGHT TIRE THE TREAD SEPARATED AND THE TIRE NEXT TO IT BLEW CAUSING $7,000+ TO OUR 5TH WHEEL TRAILER AND ALSO DAMAGED THE 5TH WHEEL HITCH. WE HAD TO PURCHASE 3 NEW TIRES AND SAT ON I95 FROM 5PM TO 9PM BEFORE GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD. THE DAMAGE WAS BAD ENOUGH BUT THE TRAILER SERVICE COMPANY STATED IT WAS INCHES AWAY FROM THE PROPANE TANKS AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY THE TRAILER DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE AND EXPLODE FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRING TORN APART. WE WERE VERY GLAD OUR GRANDKIDS WHERE AT HOME IN MT. AIRY MARYLAND AND THAT THE ACCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO TAKE THEM HOME. THE FOUR NEW TIRES WERE ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 3400 MILES ON THEM. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. WE WILL ALSO NEED TO BUY 1 MORE TIRE TO REPLACE THE 4TH CARLISLE TIRE WE STILL HAVE - WE WILL NOT TRAVEL WITH THAT TIRE EITHER ON THE TRAILER OR AS A SPARE. WE DO NOT TRUST CARLISLE TIRES. OUR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES ARE SO FAR APPROXIMATELY $1000. *TR
