Isuzu Rodeo Tires Safety Report | Apr 29, 2008
Reported on Apr 29, 2008
| 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. *TR | |
