| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Going approximately 40mph on a curve on an on ramp, i was told that my tire separated from the rim due to low air pressure. i had not been having any problems with the tires up to this point. when the accident happened, it caused me to lose control of the vehicle and swerve right and left several times. on at least two occassions, i felt the vehicle starting to tip over. i was able to keep the vehicle under partial control and finally was able to stop the vehicle. when the vehicle came to a stop i was facing the opposite direction. i had done a 180 degree turn. i was able to get the vehicle over to the side of the ramp. as i was pulling the vehicle over i noticed something wrong with the tire. upon inspection, i noticed the left front tire was off the rim and messed up. i feel lucky to be alive! i noticed upon checking the confirmation information, i put that i have a 4 cyl vehicle, mine is actually a 6 cyl. *ak( dot number: ? tire size: p225/70r14 ) |
