Upon inspection, it was determined that the passenger's side rear tire tread had separated from the actual tire. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure.
I have had nothing but trouble with this car since I have had it. The rear end makes loud noise, I have brought it back to the dealership numerous times, and they always tell me nothing is wrong. It makes a roaring noise in the rear end, and something is scrapping on the tire on the rear driver side. In july, I was traveling on the highway with my 3 kids, and the tire on the rear driver's side just went to pieces. We were in a terrible accident.
