problem #2

Dec 072007

Eclipse 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Driving on hwy. 80 on dry road at approx. 60-65 mph, in fast lane, car started to shake, as we pulled over to the side of freeway, tire blew out...complete separation of belt from sidewalls, both side walls still on rim, belt (intact) rolled down freeway. Tires less than 1 year old, and lots of tread left on tire. This caused damaged to the rim which is no longer usable. We will have to replace the tire and rim, but thank god no one was hurt.
