| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have owned this tt for just over a year and we have experienced 2 very serious tire blowouts on the highway that could have caused serious accidents. we only drive this vehicle on well-maintained surface roads and highways (no back-country driving, no off-roading). additionally, we were not changing lanes, did not hit any potholes, or doing any evasive manuevers when both incidences occurred. we have taken this car to all scheduled maintenances. as we have now had two close calls, it has made us very concerned about this tire's safety and reliability. all calls to audi dealerships and bridgestone retailers have been met with little support or desire to investigate. one more thing, we have a third tire (right front) that is starting to bubble on the side wall.
