| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I just had my tires checked at 10,000 miles during an oil change at my dealership. no problem was found. i now have 11,000 miles on my car and tires. my tires are michelin radial xse p215/50 r17. i was on my way to work and without warning my drivers side back tires blew out. it separated from the tire and the cords were showing. i am convinced that this is the fault of the michelin tire because of the tread wear and the miles on it. i did not hit anything in the road nor was the tire punctured. when the tire blew i was on west bound on i-70 to downtown indianapolis and without warning i spun around several times in the middle of i-70 and got into an accident and had to be taken to the hospital via ambulance for neck and back injuries. my mazda 6 recieved 6,000 dollars in damage that i know of so far not to mention the person that i crashed into. my insurance will not pay for the tire because that was the reason for the accident. i think michelin should pay for 4 new tires of a different brand, my hospital visit, my deductable and my rental care expense and my lost wages. also my tire presure was checked by my dealer again the week of june 27,2005. i'm very lucky that i didn't get hurt worse or someone getting hurt. i still don't know the extent of my injuries because i'm still having a lot of pain since the accident happened on july 4, 2005. is it any wonder that the f1 drivers didn't want to race and face an accident or worse yet death? |
