Buick Verano tire blowout problems

Filed Jun 17, 2022 · Airbags · MI

I was in a traffic jam and had a blowout. My airbags didn't go off no accident was able to pull over. Got it towed to get a new tire. Now I took my car in to get the aribag light off and it's $2000 for seatbelt sensor and another sensor from a blowout that's redicilous. The airbags didn't go off. Now I don't have any air bags because of a tire blowout. No damage to the car either. Please help and thank you for your time!

The car has continental tires on it . The front driver's side has a big bubble on the sidewall. If you research this problem you will see continental tires have a problem with their side walls

Low profile tires: a rock hit my tire-tired destroyed-hit small hole approximately 4 in deep about 6 inches wide tire blew. Today wife backing up hit rounded corner tire blew. Continental tires low profile are unsafe. I do not trust them and dealers. Tell me they are changing tires by multiple times due to low profile. Tires are 235x45x 18 pro h . I believe they are a safety hazard .

Just recently purchased a 2013 buick verano with less than 15,000 miles on it. I've already had to replace two tires before hitting my two week mark. Each time I was driving 30mph and under each time a blow out occurred. Researched and found out that these continental tires have been not only been recalled but the continental procontact 235/45 18 have had many issues blowing out at moments notice. But not yet recalled along with previous continental tires. These tires need to be recalled again and taken off the market before a tragic injury occurres if it hasnt happened already.

Bought trade in from central cadillac in cleveland, ohio. Yes, two year old car with 6500 miles? Continental tire blew out, rear passenger side cost $220.00 for replacement tire. Had planned to take car on vacation but after all listed complaints I am extremely concerned for passenger safety with these tires. I am a retired law enforcement officer so please beware!

We have had 4 tire failures with our continental tires. There have been 3 blowouts and a bulge in a sidewall. Two of the blowouts occurred at speeds less than 25mph over small potholes. Tires had 6000 miles and 100 miles on them for the low speed blowouts. No bent rims. All deemed as road hazard. Bulged tire covered by buick dealer. I paid half for first blowout, all of the first low speed blowout, and continental covered the last because the tire only had 100 miles on it. First two tire troubles started when the car had 7200 miles on it. The next one had 6000 miles and the fourth had 100 miles on it. Contacted continental and they denied any problems with the sidewalls on this line of tires.

Had continental tire blow out on rear passenger side of 2014 buick verano with 1,096 miles. I was driving approximately 20 MPH in the city. I had to pull off the road and wait for roadside assistance to install service tire and then took in next day for replacement at my costs. $225 for one tire and low mileage. Was told this is common with the continental tires. Feel it is a safety issue considering I was told by several people, these tires do this if they hit a pot hole, a curb or any type of bump. Also was told I could buy a tire warranty. Sorry but I'm over 50 and never heard that I could buy tire insurance because the product has a reputation for what happened. I feel ripped off and not told about the problems when I got the buick verano. I don't have $225 everytime I hit a pot hole which I didn't even hit!
