| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dunlop light truck tires lt 235-75r15 radial rover at first problem was a tire blister that caused an uneven tire wear problem. i brought the tire back to the tire store, where i purchased said tires, and was told that it was a road hazard that caused the failure. no warranty coverage on the tire, even though i had put less than 50% wear on tire. on june 13, 2004, while returning frim a trip down to long beach, heading north bound on interstate 5 in california i experienced a complete tire failure of the left rear tire. the tire detreaded or blew its tread off and this caused me to loose control of my ford explorer ( bubbles, was the cars name since she was champagne colored ). i slid between the lanes of the highway trying to regain control of my car. i didn't regain controll but ended up rolling it down the shoulder and after bouncing around landed upright on my tires facing the wrong direction. some how i didn't get hurt but i did destroy my 1993 explorer. the truck i loved and since i didn't get hurt in the roll over i have zero complaints about my ford in fact i think i will tell them about the roll over and thank them for building a car that i rolled and still didn't get hurt. my dunlops tires on the other hand i have many complaints, one complete tire failure that directly lead to me wrecking my car and one blister that may or may not have been a road hazard. i would like to report this to you to see if anyone else has had similar problems with these tires and if you need to research into this. i know i am lucky to not have been injured but feel like you should know about this problem. thank you for listening to me. *ak, *gem |
