| Description of the problem | I was traveling on the highway yesterday when my left front tire blew out(or what i thought was a blow out). I was in heavy traffic and was, by the grace of god, able to keep the car in control. When i was able to pull over, i found that my tread had completely separated from the tire and when it peeled away , it took part of my bumper away. I get regular maintenance on this car. I just purchased it a year ago. There was no indication of a problem, no noise, no "light" nothing. Just boom. |
