Dakota 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,775 miles
While driving my 2003 Dodge Dakota pick-up on the expressway my rear left drivers side tire had a blowout. Upon stopping and inspection, the tire had a side blowout with only 15,775 miles of wear. This tire came with the vehicle when I purchased it new in April 2004. I did not hit anything on the roadway and was driving the speed limit of 55mph. I had been driving for about 25 minutes on the expressway when the blowout occurred. I still have the tire and am concerned that this was caused by a defect which caused the side tire blowout
