E550

  • 12,788 miles
As I drove onto a freeway onramp, my right front tire hit a pothole, causing the tire to blow out and lose all air resulting in the car being uncontrollable and not driveable. This is the second incident whereby this car has hit a pothole and tire damage resulted. The first incident in February 2014 with only about 5,500 miles on it, resulted in 2 tires being blown out on the left side of the vehicle, again resulting in the car being uncontrollable and not driveable. In both instances, the car was being driven at approximately 20 to 30 mph. There is either a defect in the tires and/or they are not compatible with the car. I have never experienced a tire blow out in any other vehicle in over 45 years of driving experience with many different vehicles.
