TIRES:TREAD/BELT
REGULAR INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE (ROTATION) HAS BEEN DONE AS RECOMMENDED BY MANUFACTURER. ON THE HIGHWAY, LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT (IN SEVEN SPOTS) NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE BLEW IN SEVEN SPOTS FROM THE INSIDE-OUT. THE TREADS IN EACH HOLE BLEW OUTWARD. I SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES. I DO NOT CARRY HEAVY LOADS AND I CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE EVERY OTHER TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR VEHICLE FOR WOMEN WITH CHILDREN. THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING. MY TIRE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MID-JULY AND I AM WORRIED THAT ONE OF THE OTHER TIRES WILL DO THE SAME THING.( DOT NUMBER: )
