Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While exiting a traffic circle, I heard a pop and the car swerved. I corrected but was too late as the front wheel hit the curbing causing the aluminum rim to crack on the passengers side. Upon inspection I found a large rectangular piece of the tire side wall missing. The side wall separation was the tire on the passenger rear side. The rapid deflation caused the car to swerve while exiting the turn. Fortunately I was traveling at a low rate of speed!”
NHTSA complaint #10607215, filed 2014-06, 1,812 miles“It has happened twice in 6 years and 5 months. Road hazard like a torn wheel from other car or divider on road. If when driving it goes over it during night time the computer within the Mazda 3 triggers automatic deflation of the car tires.”
NHTSA complaint #11342919, filed 2020-08, 66,200 miles“While driving down freeway in clear warm weather, the passenger rear tire had the side wall blow out. This produced about a 2 inch square hole in the tire.”
