The accident was caused by tire tread separation on the back passenger end. I was going 75 MPH (the speed limit) on interstate 10 when the tread separated. I lost control of my SUV (2001 isuzu rodeo) and nearly rolled it a few times, ended up spinning around and going backwards through the dirt median heading into oncoming traffic. I hit a tree, which saved my life. This event could have been very catastrophic. The tire was a bridgestone dueler 684. It was purchased 1/4/05, but it was technically 4 years old when I bought it new. The tire was actually manufactured in 2001. The rear end damage was repaired by a collision center and for fear of tire safety, I replaced all other bridgestone tires with michelin.

The tire had a complete blow out in such a way that the outside wall of the tire completely was cut out of the rest of the tire. The car was being driven on the wheel rim while I was trying to bring the car under control. The incident was reported to the emergency road service of isuzu. The road was a straight and well maintained piece of us84 approximately 15 miles outside of brownwood texas. *ak (tiresize: p245/70r16)

The rightside rear tire blew out while driving on the interstate highway. There was no road hazard, clear roadway, and the driver did not strike any obstacles. There are no objects in the tire tread. Upon going flat, the driver immediately pulled over to the right side from the center lane and stopped as soon as possible. This did cause major sidewall damage due to the short ride on the deflated tire. The tire and vehicle are brand new with less than 3,000 miles. Dealer said that this was not their responsibility and sent me to the tire dealer. Bridgestone tire dealer said that due to the damage to the sidewall, he could not determine the cause of the tire failure, therefore, no warranty could be enforced. Bridgestone is the sister of firestone which has been having major problems with tires on SUV's. This may be related???? Had this been a front tire, a major accident may have resulted. We are very concerned about the safety of the vehicle and reliability of the tires. *ak (tiresize: p245/70r16)
