#732699September 27, 2000
TIRES:SIDEWALL
TRAVELING 60 MPH AT 12:45 PM ON I-95 NB IN MA, 2 MILES SOUTH OF EXIT 8. CLEAR WEATHER, TEMPERATURE IN MID 60'S, SMOOTH ASPHALT PAVEMENT. SUDDEN LOUD ROARING NOISE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS SOME SORT OF ENGINE FAILURE, BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF REAR OF CAR. NEXT WERE VIBRATIONS AND SHORT LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I REGAINED CONTROL AND PULLED OFF TO RIGHT SHOULDER. BOTH SIDEWALLS WERE DISINTEGRATED ALL THE WAY AROUND, WITH ONLY A FEW CORDS AND BELTS HOLDING THE TOP PART OF THE SIDEWALLS AND TREAD CAP TO THE INNER PART OF THE SIDEWALLS ON THE RIM. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT PRIOR TO THIS THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY SORT OF DAMAGE TO THE TIRE THAT FAILED. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND BRAND OF TIRES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON THE TIRES, IN THE CONDITION THE TIRES WERE IN.*AK (DOT NUMBER: M6B2LNER TIRESIZE: P215/55R16)

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 11/98, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A NOISE LIKE ICE OR WATER FALLING ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR, WHEN I LOOKED IN FRONT OF MY CAR I SAW MY WINDSHIELD CRACK JUST BELOW MY LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER. THE CRACK STARTED FROM BENEATH MY LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER AND PROCEEDED UP ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND RAN ALL ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ACROSS TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERHSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK A PEN AND FOLLOWED THE CRACK UP THE WINDSHIELD AND LIFTED THE WIPER AND HE SAID THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A PEEBLE HIT MY CAR. THE HOLE WAS THE SIZE OF THE TIP OF A PEN. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS NOT NEAR ANY TRUCKS OR CLOSE ENOUGH FOR A CAR TO DO THIS. SO HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT MYSELF. I STILL FEEL THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD, SOMEHOW MAYBE EFFECTED BY THE COLD WEATHER AS WELL. *AK
