| Description of the problem | On 9/9/08 we were traveling to the airport when our tire completely disintegrated. We had that tire replaced. On 9/26/08 a second tire was separating from the sidewall. In less than 25000 miles on our vehicle we are having to replace a third tire. There was no damage because we caught it in time and used wisdom. One tire is available for inspection it is at the dealer at the moment. The other tire was completely shredded and was repaired at a different location. The first tire replaced was flat and leaking at the sidewall. It was replaced some time ago. |
