The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
We have owned this Tt for just over a year and we have experienced 2 very serious tire blowouts on the highway that could have caused serious accidents. We only drive this vehicle on well-maintained surface roads and highways (no back-country driving, no off-roading). Additionally, we were not changing lanes, did not hit any potholes, or doing any evasive manuevers when both incidences occurred. We have taken this car to all scheduled maintenances. As we have now had two close calls, it has made us very concerned about this tire's safety and reliability. All calls to Audi dealerships and Bridgestone retailers have been met with little support or desire to investigate. One more thing, we have a third tire (right front) that is starting to bubble on the side wall. (dot number: Ejh8cfe220 tiresize: 225/45 R17)

These tires keeping blowing out on me - this is the third one in five months. This presents a huge liability and Audi refuses to replace these obviously bad tires with new ones from another manufacturer. I have requested pirelli all season tires which are far more appropriate to highways and city streets.

I did not experience an impact, but lost the inside sidewall and the tire blew out. (tiresize: 225-45-17)( dot number: Tire size: 225-45-17 )
