This tire separated like you peeled it with a razor blade. I am the attorney and have photos and the tire if they are needed. I would like to know how to get information on these tires and other accidents if possible. 4 month old baby died and mother left with broken neck, vehicle rolled over and that is possibly due to a defect also. The mississippi highway patrol investigated but did not know this was a fatality and did not do an extensive investigation.
Bf goodrich radial long trail t/a tire (16") experienced possible failure causing vehicle to rollover, the rollover caused 2 injuries and one fatality. *slc

The anti-lock brakes on my 1995 chevy tahoe are activating spuriously at slow speeds when braking. This typically happens as I approach a traffic light or stop sign or when parking in a lot. This activation causes an increased stopping distance. It has not resulted in an accident at this time, but I could see how it could. From some online research it appears that it is a known problem with rusting of the speed sensors.
Front left corner of drivers seat broke loose and started rocking back and forth. I was sitting parked and reaching in the back seat for item.
