Description of the problem | I bought 2017 ram 3500 in january 2017 as a new car. After 1300 ml i bought after market wheels and tires from discount tire. They did installed them and checked them after. Car drow almost four thousand ml did not have any problems at all. Last weekend front passenger side wheel came off while traveling at 80 miles per hour on the freeway. No single sine that anything was wrong whith a car before the incident, all eight studs were broke off whithin a split second, tire was lost. I notified dealer and a tire company and wheel manufactur about this incident to investigate . Each company blames others. I'm personally believe that problem defected studs or wheel. I asked discount tire and car manufactur to investigate, nothing done yet. |
