| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the 101 califonia highway (northbound) in an uphill section near agoura hills, when suddenly we heard a sound like "clack" twice. i was traveling on the middle lane and signaled to my right so i could pull out of the road. then, there was this huge sound, and i felt the passenger's rear side tire blow up. i almost lost control of the car but was able to pull out of the road. neither me nor my wife & 7 month old son were injured. when i got out of the car, i found out the tire's tread had separated and it caused the rear bumper to become deattached. i changed the tire and put the spare one. the car lost the rear bumper and had some dents as a result of the tread separation. i just bought the car a month ago, and the tires looked in good conditions.*ak (dot number: n/a tiresize: p185/65r14) |
