Tire blow out

Filed Sep 26, 2024 · Suspension · CA

At approximately 6:30 am 9/25/2024, I was transporting a friend to her home in a neighboring city. After ten minutes of travel, I exited a four lane bridge. As I slowed and set up for traffic negotiations, We heard a bang, like maybe tire blowout, I initiated a full stop to safety, disembarked vehicle to find that; THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT HAD EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE! Thus, the tire was sliced the tire mount rim was deeply grooved. Had vehicle towed to my home. It is in the condition left by the towing company. So, I called my neighborhood dodge boys and wàs assured that "they were not obligated not interested in repairing this near calamity, for the "RECALLED LOWER BALL JOINT COMPONENTS WERE DEALT WITH IN 2006.. TOO MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED FOR THIS EVENT TO BE REPAIRED BY RECALL OR WARRANTY". OK THEN, HOW ABOUT THE AIRBAG OPEN RECALL AT THE STEERING WHEEL.. REPLY, NO. NOTHING MISSED OR ELIGIBLE. Well, that's it.. Thanks for the venting space. And seriously, thank you for what you do.

While driving at speed (~70 mph) on the Interstate, while on a straightaway, the vehicle began to sway as if being pushed by wind or like being passed by a semi truck. The swaying continued for 10 to 20 seconds before the rear passenger tire sidewall suffered a sudden catastrophic failure which made steering the vehicle very difficult. I had not struck any significant road debris prior to this incident or taken the vehicle off-road since purchasing the tires. The vehicle was able to stop in the breakdown lane without losing control. There were no injuries or other incidents as a result of the tire failure. The driver replaced the tire with a spare. The tire repair shop replaced the failed tire under the manufacturers warranty. Approximate miles on the failed tire - ~5000 miles Length of service - < 4 months Tire Size - P 235 / 70 R 16

The right front wheel/ tire separated from the suspension while driving. I was on the 5th floor of a parking garage. I was told this was directly caused by the lower ball joint failing. This was on a 2005 jeep liberty renegade. Recall repairs previously performed on front lower ball joints on 04/09/2007. I no longer own this vehicle.

Tire pressure in all vehicle and trailer tires checked prior to departure on 270 mile trip. Driving 10 MPH under speed limit in right interstate lane when, without warning, sidewall of the hankook dynapro at/m tire blew out. Tire mounted on vehicle's right rear. No brake applied. Vehicle's rapid loss of speed and instability caused trailer to go out of control despite new antisway bar. Vehicle pulled/turned rapidly to the right, leaving the roadway traveling approximately 80' before coming to rest 90 to the roadway in the ditch. Trailer broke free from vehicle despite safety chains, antisway bar, and ball lever locked with padlock. Padlock body was broken by the breakaway as were the safety chains. Antisway bar received an approximately 30 curve to the braking bar (reese brand). Violent whipping motion (recorded on front and rear dashcam cameras and by witnesses) caused major damage to the rear of the vehicle when impacted by the trailer. Trailer received some front body damage. Failed tire has been retained. Spare tire installed on site. Tires were a set all with 8/32 tread. (new these tires had 11/32) tires were installed just under 2 years ago. I have installation invoice four 4 tire installation. Illinois state police responded immediately to investigate.
