While driving on the interstate we noticed a noise coming from the left front tire area. Whenever we stopped, I looked at the tire and noticed a large bubble on the sidewall of the tire. We purchased another tire and drove the car to a repair shop where we had the tire with the sidewall bubble removed and the new tire installed. We looked at the tire to see what had caused the bubble and noticed that there was a large square tire patch installed on the inside of the tire near the sidewall. This vehicle was purchased as a new vehicle and had Michelin tires on it. This was a professional patch on this tire that had to have been done at the tire manufacturer or at wayne assembly plt. Where the vehicle was built. This is not a dealer or home repair. I am disappointed to learn that a tire like this could be installed on a new vehicle. This could have caused a blow out and serious injury to someone.

The low pressure light came on as I was taking a trip of about 65 miles to my mothers home. I stopped and checked the tires and had to put air in the two tires on the passenger side of the car. The light did not go out; but I thought that might be because I did not turn the car off so I continued the last 3 miles of my trip. I parked the car at my mothers and visited for about 4 hours. When I got ready to leave, I walked around the car and checked the tires again. I did not note any problems with the tires or them being low; but the light came back on when I started the car. I continued on home with the intention of taking the car back to my dealership. About a third of way home I had the passenger side rear tire blow out. There is a whole in the outside tire wall, and the inside tire wall separated from the tire.
