| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Upon returning to the road from a service station, the truck developed a shimmy. as i proceeded down the road, the vibrating got worse. i pulled over to the side of the road but could not see a problem. upon returning back to the road, the vibrating became more severe. i was able to make it onto an access road and into a service station parking lot. once i entered the parking lot, i heard a very loud pop. it was then that i discovered that my front driver's side tire had blown out. the blow out caused a 6-8 inch gash in the blackwall of my tire. this is not the first time that this has occured. this same problem happened roughly 7-8 months ago on the passenger's front side tire. we also had to replace a third tire because it developed a very large bubble near the outer edge of the blackwall. i am getting to where i am afraid to drive the vehicle as long as those tires are on it. so far we have had to replace 2 tires which we had to purchase new at a pro-rated cost. this number will now increase to 3 because of the incident that occured today. i am just thankfull that no-one got injured in either blow out. but i am fearful that may change if the last wildnerness tire from the original set purchased deteriorates like the others.*ak (dot number: vd66aw2300 tiresize: 30x9.50r15) |
