| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On two separate occasions, i had a blow-out while driving my 2006 honda accord se. the first incident was roughly in march of 2006, and the second one november 16, 2006. in both instances, the car was traveling on a straight road at about 65 mph both blow-outs occurred on the passenger side, the first one front and the second rear. the first blow-out nearly put me into the guard rail and caused damage to the alloy rim. the other blow-out did not cause any loss of control. both blow-outs occurred accompanied by a loud sound, not sure if it was from the release of air or the rim slamming to the highway at 65 mph. both blow-outs resulted in a gaping hole in the sidewalls of the tires. the initial failure happened with 3000 miles on the car and the second with 9000 miles. all 4 tires constantly appear to be low on air although within the recommended psi range. neither tire could be repaired and both tires needed to be replaced. i have spent $400 replacing these damaged tires on a car that is less than a year old. *jb |
