Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I work nights in kankakee,i had just got off of work and was heading home on route 45/52 south 3 miles from kankakee at 60 mph when i heard a noise coming from under the car about 15 seconds later the left tire blew,i pulled over to change the tire,when i removed the wheel i noticed the tire (side facing coil spring)looked as though it had been cut open like the top of a tin can,i then noticed the coil spring was broken and had a sharp edge protruding toward where the inner side wall would be,i mean this tire was cut all the way in a perfect circle aproximately 2 inches from the wheel edge,while changing the tire i was almost hit by a car that was passing another car. *ak
