2009 Honda Accord: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Aug 29, 2023 · Tires · MN

Driving at 45 mph and rear General Tire Altimax RT43 tire blew out. No accidents or injuries but consider myself lucky as this could of been serious at highway speeds and if a front tire blew out. Tire is available for inspection. Tire shop noticed dry rot in bottom of outer tread grooves and vehicle was garage parked approximately 50% of time. Tire was manufactured in November 9-15, 2020; installed on vehicle on 8-2-21 with 137,739 miles; tire replaced on 8-23-23 with 160,103 miles. Tire had 22,364 miles to failure, and was driven 2 years and 16 days to failure. No low pressure tire warning on vehicle at or before tire blew out. Tire mechanic said all 3 remaining tires had normal pressure. Tire separated into three sections, the thread area, and both sidewalls. Looks like there are safety recalls on various General Altimax RT43 tires due to manufacturing defect from over curing, but this tire size was not mentioned. Tire size is 215/60R16. I have copies of installation paperwork documenting tire DOT number, odometer readings, and install date as well as final replacement paperwork documenting odometer reading and dates.

My daughter was in an accident on 9/28/2021 and the air bag exploded and she said it burned her but it was actually some type of metal. The vehicle was inspected by the insurance company. I ended up buying the vehicle back and when the car was delivered to the repairman, it was note that is was a faulty air bag. I am not sure about the other questions as it relates to warning lamps, ect.. It has been inspected by State Farm, the car is still in my possession. I was advised to report the airbag blowout. It was stated on my Market valuation Report under Supplemental information that HONDA is recalling certain 2003-2012 Honda Accord for incorrectly installed air bag may deploy improperly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. the federal safety agency Campaign ID 18v268000, 19v182000, 19v378000 & 19v502000.

Driver in 4th gear driving on a street when front passenger tire blew as a result the side curtain air bag deployed... Impact from the blowout was low with no physical damage to the car or undercarriage... Air bag should not have deployed in low impact situations causing safety issues and possibly harming sleeping infant in the back seat... Called honda about the issue and filed a claim... Claim was denied and was told that the airbag did what it was supposed to do even though there is not damage to thr rim or any other part of the car other than the blown tire. Debris from the airbag and ceiling covered sleeping infant in rear facing seat that never woke up because impact was so low.

I had brand new car bought in march 2009 , later in april 2010 I had accident and airbags didn't blow out and I hit my head, sent it to dealer by insurance company and figured that sensor was defected and they exchanged , later on they flights for ABS and vsc come on intermittently , sent it to dealer , they figured sensors are defected and will exchange , my concern is how come car with defected parts released to market , and honda company didn't do any thing for me , the car cost over $ 20,000.00 it's better to buy a $ 2000.00 car.
