| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Traveling on 95 north from va to md in 2005 nissian altima that was purchased 06/06/05 rear passenger tire completely shreded after gaining control of vehicle and pulling car over, only sidewalls of tire remained. we changed the tire to the donut that was provided with the vehicle and drove to the next exit in search for a place to replace a tire on a sunday afternoon. i have contacted nissian along with continental tires in reference to defect have advised that i am concerned and no longer feel safe with these tires and requested they all be replaced for the safety of myself and family. the car currently has 1385 miles. at the time of the tire failure there were 1268 miles on the vehicle. the tire was inspected by a authorized continential dealer in glen burnine maryland stated that the belts had seperated causing only the sidewalls to be left. although no one in my family has been phyiscally hurt, this was a very emotionall incident. this could have potentially been alot worse and not only caused injury to us but other travelers as well. i feel that continental should be held to backing there products and providing customers with the knowledge that they are concerned about the safety of its consumers |
