Just an angry citizen who hopes that maybe you can steer me in a proper direction. I was traveling through california to santa cruz for vacation. I own a 1992 mazda extended cab 4x4 and was the last of four cars in a very serious accident in which a brand new looking (I don't know the actual year) blew a tire (or lost front wheel) and flipped. My vehicle is totalled and it will cost me thousands to replace since my insurance will not cover all damages.
Tl*- the contact stated that while driving his 1998 ford winstar at 35 MPH on june 26, 2005 the passenger side front tire came off the vehicle and fell to the ground, the vehicle ran over the tire. On january 15, 2007 the passenger side front tire fell off and went behind the vehicle then hit a fence across the road. The front passenger side went into the ground and the vehicle spun around once and came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed and repaired on both occasions.
