225/75r 17 new car, 3000 miles on it driving on the highway and I hear the rapid thumping. Low tire pressure light came on. I was near an exit and luckily pulled off to safety. Because there is a continental tire recall on 3 specific tires I wanted to bring this to your attention as far as I am concerned this should not have happened with my new tires. To my knowledge there was nothing in the road that I would have run over to cause this . My safety could have been jeapordized and or the safety of others.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Escape equipped with continental tires, tire line: conti procontact, tire size: 225/65/r17. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle experienced a flat tire. While inspecting the tire, he noticed damage to the sidewall. There was a small crack located on the sidewall. The tire pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed him that the tread was worn on all four tires, and the tires needed to be replaced. The tires were replaced. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 5,600.
Both rear tires have broken belts at 26,700 miles. I have the tires if want to inspect. Dealer confirmed they are bad - takes no responsibility for warranty. I just had vehicle at dealer to fix under warranty rear brakes. Did not notice problem at that time. No warning lamps. Noticeable from increased noise level when driving. I have no idea why they should have failed. I suspect a manufacturing defect.
