While pulling into a parking spot at minimal rate of speed in a residential parking lot. I experienced random acceleration of my vehicle.despite applying the brake the vehicle would not stop accelerating. I turned my vehicle into a metal pole to keep it from temporarily moving forward. Due to the acceleration & friction, the asphalt under the car was burned, the left front tire exploded as did the passenger side window. The entire right front side of the vehicle was totaled. I was finally able to get the vehicle to stop by turning off the ignition.

Purchased new set of pirelli four season passenger tires at large-chain membership store for 2005 toyota camry. Less than 1 year later one of four began loosing air and took it in for inspection. Tire shop found sidewalls were failing with noticeable bulging in several places and replaced with brand new tire (minus small prorated warranty + installation fee). Drove away happy and assuming was just a fluke but within 20 miles on way out of town driving normal 65 MPH on major freeway the brand new tire blew out with complete inner sidewall failure. Was very scary and at night but managed to pull over and replace with the spare. Next day the tire shop replaced with another new tire which unfortunately was of the exact same lot and date # as that was all they had in stock. Took talking to the manager to get them to not charge me a second installation fee as they tried to do given it was less than 16 hours since I bought the failed tire. The second guy and the shop told me side bar and off the record that these were really bad tires but the first guy the prior day said they were good. Hoping for the best but really makes me uneasy heading out for a long trip on these pirelli tires after two separate sidewall issues like this.

Purchased 4 mastercraft glaciergrip tires 12/11/10. Drove 2451 miles and had regular tires put back on 3/17/11. Put mastercraft tires back on 11/17/11 and drove 134 miles when left front tire blew out. I was on I-81 south and had to drive on the tire to get off the highway. I was told be the dealer they would have to send the tire back to the company. They told me they would have to charge me for a replacement tire until he heard from the company. They never called me back. Five weeks later I called, for the third time, and was told it was denied. I drove on the tires another 2891 miles and the right front tire blew out. I went back to the dealer and they took that tire to send back to the company and asked if they could pull the back two tires to look at them. I said okay and I was told they were fine. I went directly to another tire installer, 8 miles away, to get the tires off and put the regular tires back on the car. When the installer pulled the left rear tire off, the same one that was just inspected, there was a huge bubble on it. He told me the tire was defective. I took it back to the dealer where I purchased the tires and was told they would have to send that tire back to the company as well. It's over two weeks and I have not been contacted.
