| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I rented a 2004 toyota camry with approximately 9400 miles from hertz local edition on n dale mabry ave in tampa fl. about 45 minutes later, i was on my way to orlando with my 11 month old son via interstate 4 when i heard a loud noise coming from the vehicle. i moved over to the last lane so i could take the next exit to check the car when i heard and saw the back left tire explode. due to the explosion the car jerked towards the right so fast that i almost ended up in a large ditch on the side of i-4. i called emergency services and reported the incident and later that day returned the car for a replacement. i had both of the reservationists look at the tire and they confirmed that it looked as if it had exploded from the inside out. i received and email from hertz, which basically stated that their sorry for the problem, they inspect their cars, and sometimes things can happen. *jb |
