Description of the problem | Our daughter bought a 2015 jeep grand cherokee approximately six months ago. Her "dream car". Two weeks ago, while driving home from los angeles, her rear tire blew out, causing her to spin out on the freeway, getting clipped by a big rig and tossed into the carpool lane, facing oncoming traffic. She was somehow able to get to the shoulder of the road without involving other vehicles. She was by only a miracle, mostly unharmed. This is a new car. The tires are michelin. We are extremely unhappy with what happened, but obviously, extremely grateful she is alive! |
