| Description of the problem | On 10/21/06, my wife was driving her nissan quest on the freeway when she suddenly heard the front right side tire blowout. The tire was taken to the goodyear dealership where it was bought, and it was determined that the tire did not receive a puncture that would cause the tire to blowout. The tire was shredded on the outside tire wall, and it looks as if it were cut. It should be noted that the tire was not cut by any sharp object, my wife can attest to this fact because she did not see or notice any damage to the tire before she got into the car a drove away. The only thing that has been done to correct the problem is that the tire was replaced with a same size used tire until this matter is resolved. *nm |
