Tires: “Continental Pro Contact size 245/35 R 20 sidewall blew out with 265 miles on a brand-new car. Blew out leaving a parking lot at a very slow speed. The tire did not hit anything, it just lost all air pressure, and the warning light came on. Goodyear Tire employee came to the scene and determined the sidewall leak. There is no damage or marks to the tire. We purchased a new tire at the new car dealership and Goodyear installed on the car. We have detailed pictures. …”
NHTSA complaint #11535348, filed 2023-07Wheels: “I am reporting a severe vehicle safety hazard introduced by Boston Volkswagen and ignored by Volkswagen Group of America.

Due to widespread public records of consumer deceit at this location, I have not contacted Boston Volkswagen directly. …”
