NHTSA complaint #10909323, filed 2016-09, 66,000 miles“The carelessness of the workers completing construction on interstate 275. I have had to replace two high performance tires; due to a screw which caused my tire to blow with the first tire on the interstate at 4:45 am, had to spend $266.46 to replace tire. Then a week and a half later while driving on the same interstate going to work had to replace another tire due to a nail, another $200.00. I think it is the responsibility of DOT to make sure all screws and nails are cleared off the interstate since people are having to travel in order to get to work each day. …”
