| Description of the problem | Was driving on the freeway home from work and in a split second the back end of the truck started bouncing and became hard to steer. I slowed down and was getting ready to pull over onto the shoulder when a big chunk of my tire separated and came flying off over my truck hitting the car beside me. I slowed down even more and pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway, ( all of this happened in less than 1 mile) when i got out i was so upset when i discovered the damage the separation of the defective tire had caused to my truck and the car of a very irate driver these tires did not have more than 20,000 miles on them. The tire totally wrecked my undercarriage, including the rods, supports and liner for the wheel well, plus the wheel well, rear quarter panel and bumper. There are also damages to the front quarter panel of the other vehicle. I have a $1000. 00 deductible and now am unable to afford repairs or tires, i need to be able to work and need cooper tires to pay for the damages and defective tires please. *js |
