A discount tire letter was sent to customers saying that the dill air controls tire valves are defective and could cause accidents and fatal vehicle crashes. I can not find the discount tire corporation ceo listed in the letter with the state of texas comptroller's office or the dill air controls company either. Is the letter I received legitimate or just a sales gimmick?
Driving down the interstate and the sunroof just shattered. I see that this has been a problem in the past but jaguar say it wasn't a issue for my car. Nothing hit the sunroof. I remember driving over a particular segment in the interstate that has a dip and then it shattered.
