| Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems |
I purchased tires in January 2015 , in October 2015, my signall displayed check tire pressure. I had the tire inspected an rotated at place of purchase. Within weeks my tire was completely flat. I stopped at the nearest station and was told I had a crack in the inner side wall. On 10/15/2015 I returned to the place I purchase the tires. I explained that I believed, that my tire is faulty. The merchant told me " you must have hit something, it happens all the time ". . I explain to him that I didn't hit anything, I had the tire inspected by another tire place and it was stated, the tire has to be faulty, because where the crack is seen, inner side wall. I said to merchant, if I had run over something it should damage to the part of the wheel that touches the surface. . My wheel was plugged in the mean time. The seller of this tires refuse to replace the tire. He said he would sell me a new tire for $389. Plus tax. . I have a warranty on the tires, if the tire cracked on the inner side wall , why aren't they being held responsible? do I have to have a blowout on the highway, wait for an investigation; and then find that all could have been avoided; if the merchant had been honest? had I been a male, this situation would have been settle with a hand shake!! I find this to be outrageous. . How many other's will this happen to? his suggestion that I should just buy a new tire from him is, dishonoring the warranty , only to have another crack surface in 6-8 months. . .
