“I bought a set of 4 brand new bridgestone turanza serenity plus 225/60r16 tires on april 26, 2015, and have them installed on my wife's car. My wife and two kids were driving to phoenix on I-10 on a clear and sunny day on may 9, 2015 to visit a friend. She said she was driving at the speed limit of 75 MPH and wanted to pass a semi-truck on her right so she speed up to pass the semi-truck. She noticed the steering wheel began to vibrate violently and she held on the steering wheel as hard as she can. Then she lost control of the car and it began to swerve in the direction of the semi-truck. …”
