Was driving down the hwy @ appro 70 mph, the steering column started to shimmy, and my front passanger blew. I lost control of the vehicle, and landed in the median in approx 3 feet of water. Had to tow the car for 50 miles, back to the dealership. I was told that the "bead broke on the tire, due to improper mounting at the time of manufacturing." Then almost in the same breath, I was told that it was my fault, my tire warranty does not cover "road hazard or wear and tear on the tire". I was then told to turn it into my insurance company, which I did, after losing my job for lack of transportation. I filed a defect complaint with Goodyear, and Chrysler. Chrysler told me it was up to Goodyear, who in turn denied my claim 3 hours later after I filed. My insurance company totaled out the vehicle, and left me with a $400 balance still to pay on my loan for the car. I understand that in 1997, both manufactures involved were forced to recall approx 40,000+ vehicles due to the same problem. Even though I was not physically hurt, the amount of stress both financialy and mentally has been enormous. Please advise me asap of what I can do.( dot number: Tire size: P185/65R14 )
