Description of the problem | I was driving on i278 west bound in brooklyn, ny, and my driver side front tire went over a pot hole. It wasn't a deep pot hole since the impact was not severe, so i continue driving. After a minute of driving, the tire pressure indicator came on. That's when i pull over to the side of the highway, and called road side assistance. This has happened four times since i purchased the car. Three out of the 4 cases happened on the driver front wheel. They either had bubble on the sidewall, or completely blew out. There is definitely a problem with the tire design, or the material used. It is becoming extremely unsafe to drive the vehicle due to the frequency of tire blow out. |
