Description of the problem	Eagle rsa p245/45r18 i was driving my 2004 nissan maxima down rt. 3 east in nj going approximately 65 mph. All of a sudden i felt the car start to vibrate and shake terribly i realized i had a flat. Before i could even have any reaction, the car jerked to the left, then to the right, i tried to stop it and i spun out of control on the highway and crashed into another car who was trying to pass on my right. My car came to a rest with my driver's side door facing oncoming traffic, and my car blocking off the left and the middle lane, and literally 1 inch from crashing into the concrete divider. Luckily oncoming traffic stopped, and the passenger and myself in my car were not injured. However there were two people in the other car we hit claiming injury after the accident. The inside wall of the tire was completely separated from the rest of the tire. My mechanic told me he never saw any tire like that. I filed a complaint with goodyear, and i was told to have the tires sent to akron, ohio for testing,(the adjustor that came to pick up the tire told me she never saw a tire like that either) that was 10 months ago and i haven't even gotten an answer from them. Now as i was once again driving on the highway (december 22, 2005) going approximately 70 mph, my front drivers side tire blew out, there was no accident this time. I am worried that i am not going to be so lucky when this occurs for a third time. I rotate my tires every 6,000 miles and check the air pressure in them regularly. I've filed another complaint with goodyear but what good is that going to do? They won't give me an answer and i have to wait to be contacted again by their insurance adjustor. I don't know what to do with this, i bought a $30,000 car, and i am afraid to drive it. After reading the entries on this site, i know that i am not alone now with this problem, these tires are defective and need to be recalled before someone gets killed! I am looking for help with this situation. *nm

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
