2 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2008

I was driving a 05 Lincoln towncar when the right rear sidewall blew out. It totaled the car, my husband broke his arm and has two plates, 12 screws and a bone graft. He is still under a dr. 's care. I have spoken to several people that have had the same thing happen but with no damage or anyone being hurt. Something needs to be done before people are killed. If it was not for our heavy car we both would have been killed. These tires were new with a little over 5000 miles on them.
