| Description of the problem | I own toyota sienna 2004. I was driving from connecticut to washington dc. The front left tyre of the car bursted in maryland & it hit the left divider on i-95 . The mileage of the car at the time of accident was 2963. I called up dealer saying how can a tyre burst when it is a new car ? He said we cannot say anything until we see the damaged tyre. I haven't shown the tyre to dealer yet as i haven't taken the car back to connecticut. Kindly advise how to report this kind of incident . I tried contacting www. Nhtsa. Gov using email bhavii_p@hotmail. Com sometimes in april,2005. The replaced tire is lf tire mich energy lx4 p2156516 96t. I do not recollect actual date of purchase now but i can inform it later. Thanks. Bhavana |
