Tire Sidewall problems of the 2000 Dodge Durango

The outside edge of the tread is separating from the tire causing it to go flat.

Sidewalls of two tires popped within two weeks of one another the Durango was parked both times.

I bought a Dodge Durango less than a year ago (June 2003) I have since then replaced a total of 3 tires. Two of which where the same tire, rear passenger side. The first tire was replaced in oct"03", then the same tire replaced again in Nov "03". The third tire that I replaced was in Feb "04" the front driver side, but the rip found in the tire was not dicovered till I had my tire rotation. This would have been th rear tire as well. Now the one that I have already replaced twice has blownout yet again, but this time causing a accident may 1,2004. This will be the third time replacing the same tire along with my whole front end getting repaired. Total of now 4 tires have been put on this vehicle 3 of which where the same tire. All had rips in the tire wall. Could this be a defect in the product? is there anything that can be done? I can not afford all these tire replacements and insurace going up. I would like to be compensated for all my repairs, replacements, car rental, and etc.

This vehicle has goodyear tires that belts have began to come through sidewall. Dealer has been contacted.
