| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: driving home from school on interstate 20 my car started to shake. i reduced the speed of my vehicle from about 68 mph to 60 mph. then i heard a loud pop and my car started to fishtail across three lanes of traffic, missing a tractor trailer by about one foot. i finally handled the truck and pulled onto the side of the interstate. i proceeded to get out of my vehicle to try to control my nerves and try to figure out what happened. i walked over to the rear passenger side of my vehicle and the entire tread of my tire was gone. it was strewn about. the tire other than the tread was in perfect condition. it was the full size spare on the car when i bought it and it had only been driven on for aprox. 6 months with no problems. i proceeded to look at the side of my vehicle and my sidestep was missing, and my car was dented up. it looks terrible. the scratches start at the rear passenger door and went all the way to the back of the vehicle. i do not have the money to fix my car. the incident was not my fault. my car is well taken care of. i have to take care of it because i have three children. this is my only mode of transportation. the firestone that was on my car is model, p235/75 r15 atx. it has the beginning dot letters vd from decatur, illinois. i have a 1996 ford explorer. |
