2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Tires & Wheels Problems

The Pirelli Scorpion All Season Zero tires that came factory equipped on my 2020 VW Cross Sport have experienced a sidewall failure on Drivers Side front. 35,000 miles on the vehicle and Tries Rotated as recomended. The tire sizes is 245/45r21. Driving on highway at 70 mph, with out any sensor warnings a messaged flashed on the dash of complete loss of tire pressue and in a split second the tire exploded. Thankfully I was able to pull the side safely. The sidewall of the tire completely seperated from the body. Dealer is selling me new tires but no offer to investigate.

The contact owns a 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport equipped with Continental Tires: Tire Line: Cross Contact LX Sport, Tire Size: 245/60/R18, DOT Number: A383WC9V2920. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, there was vibration in the rear passenger’s side and there was a loud popping sound. The contact heard the sound of some object slapping the roadway. The contact stated that the low tire pressure warning light had illuminated seconds before the tire failed. The contact replaced the tire with the spare tire. The vehicle was taken to a tire dealer. The tire was diagnosed and it was confirmed that the tread had separated from the sidewall of the passenger’s side rear tire. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage for the vehicle and tire was 14,500.

Here we go again, warning light for tires correctly inflated warning sign will not go away. This is third time this has been addressed, initially vehicle tires on sale were over inflated, second time similar issue, and now who knows until we get to service on Tuesday what we are going to find
