Description of the problem | Nexen tires rodian lt hrx 235/80/r17 on a new dodge ram 3500 had 14,000 mi when discovered pin holes in the side wall which cannot be repaired, splitting visible between the treads and tires continuously loosing air. No blow-out has yet occurred resulting in bodily injury. The situation is being brought to your attention since chrysler is assuming no responsibility and the tire manufacturer is being less than cooperative in assuming responsibility for replacement of the defective tires. There are law suits in florida ad complaints filed with california bbb for similar issues with little success. |
