A 2 month old 2007 Mercedes R320 cdi rear tire explodes in private driveway on January 20, 2007 during a Colorado blizzard. The car was purchased new from Mercedes of Colorado springs. We have found out by a forensic expert that a defect in the car caused the explosion. A defective Mercedes "4matic" system caused the rear tire to explode causing $25,000 in car damage and $1500 damage to home. The Mercedes dealer claimed it was our fault, but the forensic tire expert we hired has found that the car is defective.
