What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda accord equipped with sumitomo tour plus lst tires, size: 205/60r16 (na). While driving 70 MPH, the front driver's side tire blew out and separated from the tire wall. In 2016, the rear driver's side tire experienced the same failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle failure mileage was 210,000. The tire failure mileage was unknown.
I had a blow out and passenger airbags came out and seatbelt locked up. Driving about 40 miles on a straight away.
Right side passenger side curtain air bags deployed automatically when front left tire failed. I have read of later model years having issues with unintended side curtain deployment. I have even read of complaints about erratic deployment in 2006 models in the federal safety agency files. There was no collision, only a chuck hole which prompted the tire failure. I was driving on a highway near athens, ohio. Hit an unavoidable pothole, the tire blew out immediately, the right side air curtains deployed. Vin [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda accord. While driving 35 MPH, an unknown tire blew out and caused the driver side air bag to deploy. The vehicle was towed, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
Vehicle was traveling 45 MPH on firestone, affinity tires with less then 20,000 miles on them. While traveling on dry, good pavement the right rear tire experienced a complete blowout causing the vehicle to turn violently to the left and come to a complete stop in a bar ditch. The tire was intact, but had crawled off the rim. Tire pressure was checked two days prior and was well within proper limits of the required psi. The vehicle was totaled as a result of the blowout and crash..
Tires purchased on friday. Less than one week later (about 100 miles on the tires) while driving on the highway @ 75mph, the tread separated from the tire. Tire brand not listed below. Tires are pegasus minos.
On july 17th, 2010, I had 4 brand new falken zeix ze 912 installed on my car. Approximately 5 miles from the dealership, while driving on the freeway, the front right tire blew out. See odi number 10344123) today, august 14th, 2010, while driving down the freeway, the left front tire blew out. I had the spare tire put onto the car and drove to the dick hanna acura of portland, oregon; the dealership that installed the new tires on july 17th. The dealership reported that they could tell from observation that the car ran over a pot hole which caused the blow out. I explained that I was on the freeway and there were no pot holes. I also stated that it seems bizarre that a tire would not be able to hold up even if there were pot holes on the freeway. I reminded them that it was only one month ago that the right front tire blew out. At this point, the tire will obviously have to be replaced. The dealership did not have the appropriate tire in stock thus still has by car until at least monday. This appears to be a huge red flag with these tires. I requested that the dealership review the tires and give me a written confirmation that all the tires are safe prior to me picking up my car.
On saturday, july 17th, 2006, I had routine maintenance completed on my 2006 honda accord. The dealership told me that I needed 4 new tires. They installed 4 falken ziex ze 912 tires along with a front end alignment. I left the dealership, got onto to the freeway and my brand new right front tire exploded when I was traveling at 55 miles per hour. I immediately contacted the dealership and they requested that I have my car towed to them and they would investigate the situation. I spoke with the dealership today (monday) and they stated that the new tire was defective. They replaced the tire at no charge and reported that they would be sending the tired back to the factory to investigate the defect issue.
While going around a corner off a highway my rear driverside tire blew out causing my car to go off the side of the road hitting a sign and causing damage to the entire driver side of my vehicle.
Michelin energy mxv4 problems. We were driving on a highway as the one of the rear tire blew out. We pulled over and changed the tires. As I checked the damaged, I noticed a huge crack on the inside part of the tire (no curb damage possible). So we went to a michelin store to request a warranty exchange (tire had less den 10k miles). The rep said it seemed to be a common problem with this kind of tire and he will try to get us a warranty exchange. But because of michelin denying the problem, we prob. Wont get the tire exchanged. So we bought a new single tire for $200.16. We are very upset...
