NHTSA complaint: 2006 HONDA CR-V — TIRES:SIDEWALL
WE HAD A 2006 HONDA CRV. IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD WE EXPERIENCED 2 REAR WHEEL BLOW OUTS. THE FIRST OCCURRED ON A CITY ROAD AFTER DRIVING ON THE TOLL WAY. IT WAS A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. THE SECOND OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLL WAY. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A LEFT REAR TIRE BLOW OUT. IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL, HIT A SEMI, AND ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES AND IS STILL UNABLE TO BE OUT OF BED FOR MORE THAN A SHORT TIME. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AS OF THIS TIME, NO RESULTS ARE IN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS. *JB
