Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) front right side of jeep liberty dropped down on tire (2) tire was flat and jeep ran off road (3) investigator only looked for open pot-hole or construction and did not look for any defective situation. ball joint defect was reported to public over 5 months later. i kept the tire which has unusual slicing through the inside edge with a few penetrations within that area and all perfectly lined up with each other. i took pictures of the tire assembly area in case there would be any indication of faulty parts. investigator only sited tire hit something and blew out as told to me by the state farm claim agent. follow-up of this case was rejected by same claim agent because ball joint is not available to inspect. my complaint to them saying they are not reviewing the evidence i did show them including pictures from the scene which i still think show if their was a failure of this nature or not. they have another claims agent looking into it now. until they follow this up i consider this accident to be falsely reported to your agency. *nm
