I purchased brand new michelin defender tires three weeks ago from a michelin certified auto repair shop. Today we had a catastrophic blow out...consistent with a manufacturer defect. We were driving less than one mile from our home, on a clear day, with no pot holes, or obstacles in the road. We did not hit or run over anything. We were driving less than 30 miles per hour...on a clear city street in virginia. The car immediately began to violently shake....it was obvious the tire had a catastrophic failure. We went across the street to merchants tire and auto. The tire had four blow out holes on every single side of this tire. This tire is only 3 weeks old. It has less than 200 miles on it. Michelin refused to warranty this tire. They covered only 50 % of the tire. If I had been driving with my 4 children in the car on the highway...we would have been injured. The tire was confiscated (per michelin) by merchants tire and auto.

While driving on a city street, a loud noise from the right side. Abs light came on, but reset after restarting van. Stopped and looked under van, but all looked okay. When driving car would suddenly pull hard to right. Noise continued and next day repair shop informed that right coil spring was broken and we were lucky it didn't puncture tire. They cut a portion of the spring away to keep spring from causing blowout. Not repaired as cost prohibitive.

While driving down the road (route 20, traveling east, down town northborough, ma, speed ~20 MPH) as vehicle passed over a railroad expansion type joint, the left front coil spring broke. Approximately .5 to 1 second after loud metallic noise ABS light came on. Pulled car over to side of road and could not find anything obviously wrong, continued home cautiously ~ 1/2 mile. Upon further investigation found a piece of the broken coil spring hanging down from the left front half shaft. Disassembly of the front left wheel allowed for the evaluation of the damage caused by the broken coil spring. It became clear that the broken piece of coil spring had struck the ABS wheel sensor line, ripped the left front outboard cv joint boot and wrapped itself around the half shaft. I felt lucky in knowing that the brake line that was ~ 2 inches to the left of the ABS sensor appeared undamaged. Had the very sharp broken piece from the damaged spring hit either the brake line or the tire at highway speed it could have caused a catastrophic brake failure or a tire blow out. Had the vehicle continued to have been driven with the sharp broken piece of coil spring wrapped around the half shaft it could have caused additional damage, most likely a cut brake line. In talking with honda customer service they felt there was / is no issue (even though I raised the issue of safety), yet my own research has shown that the coil spring on the odyssey has been investigated in the past with no finding and many failures are documented across the internet. Replacement of the coil spring, strut, ABS wheel speed sensor, and cv joint boot are required to fix the problem. Since a spring failure from the left side has occurred, the spring along with strut on the right side will be replaced as a pre-caution. I have both pieces of the broken coil spring in my possession, my initial investigation does not point to corrosion as the likely cause of the spring failure.

Sidewall separation of a goodyear regatta 2 tire on a honda odyssey van. Were told by honda dealer that there was tread separation. Took to dealer (akron auto and truck tire) and was told that it was damage caused by hitting an object. Tire was replaced and other tires were inspected on or about march 10, 2006. Replaced two tires. Today the remaining goodyear regatta experienced a high speed separation of the sidewall tread with a concurrent blow out with my 16 year old daughter at the wheel. She brought the car to a stop and there was no damage other than the tire. The side wall blew on the inside of the car and there was no evidence of damage to the rim.

For no apparent reason the drivers side front coil spring let go from whatever holds the spring in place. The left front collapsed . The spring ripped the side wall of the inside of the tire causing it to blowout. Damage was also done to the a.b.s. Cable .this occurred at 78000 miles to a 2000 odyssey. I replaced the front springs and struts and will have to get brake work done as a result of this scary situation. I bought this car new in august of 2000.

I have had two uniroyal tiger paw tires blowout while my car was being driven on the interstate. The blowouts occurred approximately 6 weeks apart with about 10,000 miles on the tires. When the first tire blewout my daughter was using the car and the tire store techician said he had never seen anything like that before, but would not say the tire was defective. When the second tire blew, the technician said it was obviously defective and when shown a picture of the first tire said it was defective too. After talking with several people at uniroyal, they replaced the rest of the tires. I have digital photographs of the tires.
