What owners wrote
My front end rim and tire locked up at 59 MPH-causing a severe swerve to the left/right-then I swerved into an 18 wheeler;air bags did not deploy;seatbelts were not unlatching prior to accident so not usable at the time.
Operating vehicle on florida turnpike at 70 MPH when I experienced a blowout to the right rear tire. My vehicle began to lose control, however I was able to recover. Reason for blowout: tread separation- defective tire - tire failure.
