Filed Sep 16, 2022 · Tires · MD

Tire size: 215 / 50 R 17 While driving on a highway, a tire pressure warning appeared. Shortly after, theTPMS malfunction light came on and immediately the driver side rear tire blew out. My car spun 360 degrees and I managed to bring it to a stop. Luckily the cars behind me slowed down while I maneuvered to the curb. I was on a drawbridge and I could have driven off of it into the water below. The tread of the tire completely separated from the side walls of the tire. All that was left on the rim were the two side walls. I recovered the tread and I have the wheel with the side walls still on it. I showed it to the dealer and the service technicians had no idea about what happened. As of now the manufacturer has not been made aware. This 2016 Honda Civic was purchased from a dealer and there are still 3 of the same tire on the car. I drove the remaining distance to my destination on the rim where I put on the spare. I couldn’t change the tire where the blowout happened because I was on a bridge with very little shoulder.

The AC keeps going out. I have to have the compressor replace twice and 2 other parts replaced twice. The freon starts to blow out of the vents into the passenger compartment. This is dangerous I always have my kids with me. We always have infections that can be attributed to breathinng in this freon. Every year it gets fixed in the summer. It works fine for oyr 2 summer months then I dont have to use it that often but as soon as the heat rolls up again I take it in for a check and it has no freon left.
