Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)P235/70R16 The car was parked, when I left on the morning of July 14 to go to work, it had already exploded. I thought it was the excess heat but the strange thing was the separation that occurred.
MY SON NOTICED THE REAR DRIVERS TIRE NOT FEELING GOOD AS HE TRAVELED ON I-80 OUTSIDE OF LINCOLN, NE. HE STARTED LOOSING CONTROL AND EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL, THE CAR ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES AND CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN. HE WAS STILL BUCKLED IN THE SEAT. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE CAR, THE REAR TIRES WERE BROKEN OFF THE CAR. THE LUG NUTS STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. HE THINKS THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE CAME OFF FIRST AND THAT WAS WHAT STARTED THE CAR OUT OF CONTROL. THE OTHER REAR TIRE WAS ALSO OFF AFTER HE CAME TO REST SO HE IS NOT SURE WHEN THAT CAME OFF DURING THE CRASH. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. GEICO IS INVESTIGATING THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE WHAT TOOK PLACE. THIS JUST HAPPENED ON 12/16/2016.
I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AFTER A 20 MINUTE DRIVE FROM WORK AND I COULD SMELL RUBBER BURNING. I STEPPED TO THE BACK OF MY JEEP AND COULD TELL THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE SO I REACHED DOWN AND TOUCHED THE WHEEL AND IT WAS SO HOT IT BURNED BY HAND. IT ACTED LIKE THE BRAKE HAD LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WORKING AGAINST MY SPEED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT ACTS COMPLETELY FINE AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL LOCK UP AGAIN AND ALL I CAN SMELL IS BURNING RUBBING AND FEEL HEAT COMING OFF THE WHEEL WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING IT. *TR
