On the 28th of may I was traveling 60 MPH (the speed limit) and my back passenger tire blew out and I lost control of my car. I stopped when the back passenger corner rammed into a cement railing. The back bumper, side paneling, wheel tire and trunk hood were all damaged and needed to be replaced. I do not know what caused the tire to blowout.

The lcd on the console which controls the radio and air temperature, just blew out, this afternoon. We cannot see anything on there. I just researched the problem online and see that this is a common recurring problem. The fix is to replace the whole radio system which costs around $ 500 plus. I do believe this is honda's responsibility. I do not expect something like the lcd screen to blow out in just a little after 45000 miles. And I did not drive my car often. This is definitely a manufacturer's defect and problem.

Dear sir/madam, when my wife drove the car on local road under 50 MPH, one rear tire exploded suddenly. (the road was clean). The car we have is honda accord 2003. The tire has 60% usage under warranty. We went to a local authorized michelin tire dealer to get it checked and replaced. The dealer checked the tired and found the side wall of the rear tire blew up. The dealer think it is a defective tire. We are scared of the michelin tire and got replaced with four new goodyear tires. We and the dealer called michelin later and they told us even though it was a defect tire, we could not get any credit/discount back on the replacement since it was another brand. But who would pick the same brand after it just blew up. We are very disappointed with the quality of the michelin tire as well as their response. Luckily the tire exploded on local road. If it were on freeway, it could be very dangerous. So we are writing to fail a complaint to you.
