2001 isuzu rodeo. Consumer complaint about bridgestone tires. Consumer states that she was involved in an accident caused by the tread separation on her bridgestone tires. The tire was a bridgestone dueler 684. This accident caused her to hit a tree. *kb ***nar*** the consumer purchased the tires on january 4. 2005 under the assumption the tires were brand new, however the consumer later found out that the tires were 4 years old when she purchased them.
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.
Light vibration at 75 MPH and seconds later an explosion. Complete tread separation on front right side tire bridgestone dueler 684. Tire almost new, about 2,000 miles on it. Damage on the right side mirror and right fender.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 75 MPH on clear dry road conditions, the tread of the rear driver side tire separated. The contact managed to pull the vehicle over without incident. A bumpy noise was heard seconds prior to the tread separation. The contact's father was called, who came and replaced the defective tire with a spare tire. The contact called the place where the tire was purchased who determined that the tread separated due to an unknown object on the road. The contact disagreed, and had a witness when the incident occurred. The tire was replaced. The contact planned to notify the tire manufacturer after filing a safety complaint with the federal safety agency.

On april 4, 2005, my daughter was driving her 1997 isuzu rodeo on interstate 24 in marion county, tennessee when left rear tire experienced a tread separation, and caused vehicle to roll over three times. Miraculously, she survived. I want to file a complaint against the manufacturer of the tire, so that other motorists may be appraised of the safety implications. Bridgestone dueler 684, tire size p245/70 r16 106s. The tire was purchased in columbia, s.c. On january 13, 2005 from a firestone store. The state trooper who investigated the accident listed the tread separation as the cause of the accident. The tire did not deflate. The tread separated from the tire. This caused the car to fish tail, and my daughter to lose control of the vehicle, and it then turned over three times. I have the tire. *ak thank you for your help and please inform me of the results of your investigation. Dennis bolt
