| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 acura cl s type at 400 miles a tire was michelin tire was replaced for a bubble in the tire wall, the car is less than a year old and with 11,000 miles. i have replace two more tires for bubbles. now a fourth tire has a bubble. i am told by acura and michelin that these are caused by pot holes. there is no rim damage and i was told by costco that this is a big problem with this type acura because of suspension. this is not safe, some bubbles are on inside walls and can not be seen. i don't believe any testing was done. this tire should be outlawed. no one wants to take responsibility and i can not afford to replace tires every month these tire are brand new and michelin is making a ton of money. i have read many complaints where people have crashed. i would like to avoid this....i would like either michelin or acura to address this problem or i would like to get out of my lease since i was not aware of the unsafe condition of my vehicle. *ak *jb |
