NHTSA complaint #10125323, filed 2005-06“The right rear tire blew out, it is in two completely different peices, on a major highway. I could have easily lost control of the vehicle and been in a major accident. I have also had to have the tires plugged twice already since I purchased the vehicle. The brakes have been squeaking for almost three months and when reported to dealer they did nothing to fix it. They have also caused skidding when roads are wet and do not feel as if they are properly locking.( DOT number: tire size: p235/55r16 )”
