| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i was travelling eastbound on the long island expressway approaching exit 57 when i started to hear a noise from underneath my vehicle, a 1999 plmouth grand voyager. i first thought it was the muffler and continued driving. shortly afterwards, i noticed debris and black smoke in the right side mirror. i was now between exits 57 and 58. i pulled over to the shoulder. when i got out i examined the muffler first. it was fine. i then walked around to the rear right side and saw that the rear right tire was completely damaged. the tread was separated fron the rest of the tire. the tire rim was not bent probably due to the combination of when i pulled over plus the fact that the separated tread was wrapped around it. i called aaa and had the tire changed. my wife and two of my granddaughters were in the car with me. we are lucky that it was not a front tire. the tire is a goodyear regatta ii that was purchased as one of a new set of four on march 27, 2003. i have put just under 30,000 miles on them. they are waranteed for 75,000 miles. since i did purchase road hazard insurance i plan on returning the tire to where i purchased it: goodyear auto service center, 1200 route 112 , port jefferson station, 11776 and getting a replacement. |
