“I had a 180 degree turn accident caused on the morning of 5/16/05 at I-96 east, livonia mi with my chevy Prizm that had all the four tiers replaced on 11/04. One of the bf goodrich tiers (rear) was the cause of the accident. The relatively new tier (had only 9,000 miles on it) kind of has burst into two or more pieces and had made me slid from one lane to another, hitting the median and turned 180. The rear of the car is greatly damaged. The car was towed and taken to the sam's club where the tier was replaced. We have filed complaints with bf good rich, and GM. …”
