About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
There was no discernible event that caused the tire on the Lexus RX350 with less than 4000 miles to blow. We turned off rt 113 into a lowes shopping center after waiting about 2 minutes for a light. On making the left hand turn the tire blew. I pulled into the parking lot and called Lexus road service. They don't warrant tires on a new car so we took it to sears/kmart, an authorized Michelin dealer. They offered a 50% rebate claiming-to the Michelin operator- that it was a "pot-hole" damage and not a manufacturer's defect. They said with the newer cars we could have hit a pot-hole and not even known it!
