Description of the problem	Vehicle with 29,300 miles. Lightly driven, well maintained, inspected, tires checked & oil changed march of 2006. Borrowed my mom's expedition. (big mistake), leaving the houston area headed for saint louis we got about 200+ miles before the tread came off. Tomball ford, ford company & continental / general grabber tires changed our lives. Headed in bound in the right or center lane a grassy steep median seperated the south bound traffic. Felt a small bump so i took my foot off the accelerator to slow down & lightly braked to pull over to the right, i didn't have a chance to hit the brake when the right rear passenger tire tread came off, tried maintaining a straight direction to slow the vehicle down, but being so top heavy no matter how hard i tried it shot toward the median leaning to the passenger side where my teenage son was. Thank god he partially laid back his seat & seat belt on. When it rolled on the passenger side, from this point i am told (we both hit our heads & were unconcious) suv shot out of the median upside down onto another car we contined to roll across the s-bound lanes & came to a stop facing east. Airbags didn't delploy, all windows were busted out(xcpt 2), driver door is the only door that opened. My son & i are thankful, i received staples to the back of my head, i have to have an mri on my head & neck, son has to have his shoulder & hip checked. Drivers seat broke loose, entire dash was destroyed. People in the other car were visiting from another country (i'm filled with sorrow & a lot of counseling ahead of me) their families are in my prayers & thoughts daily, two of the people in the other car passed away upon impact. I didn't know another car was involved. An er lady was talking about the wreck, mentioned 2 people died. I was thinkng no we didn't we are right here. I got the medic there to give me the details. All due to a faulty tire that had problems 00 & 01 model owners were notified but not 02 owners. P275/grabbers. *jb
