Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Hello! i own an audi tt which i got from tisher audi in silver spring in march 2006. i had 2 tire blow outs since february 2007. audi told me that the tire it recommended for the car was a low aspect ratio tire , which was easily susceptible to blow out. they felt that i purchased a tire protection policy that covered the cost of replacing tires frequently and that the problem was resolved. they refused to acknowledge there was a safety problem with fitting cars with tires that were easily susceptible to blow outs due to a shorter tire wall, and they blamed the road conditions rather than the easily susceptible tires. more than one person at tisher audi acknowledged that multiple customers had to replace frequently tires due to blow outs. i found it unconscionable that audi refused to address this as a consumer safety concern. my last blow out occurred while i was driving on the interstate and was a very precarious situation. please investigate this consumer concern. your consideration was much appreciated. *ak |
