I am a soldier stationed in germany who encountered a tire blow out on 6 December 2011. I was fortunate enough to be driving on the military base and someone caught my attention to notify me. I took the vehicle to the auto shop on the base and told they could not order the tire through any of their vendors and I had to go through the local economy. However, before I left they inspected the tire to identify what caused the flat and stated it was a manufacturer defect. The tire seperated from the seams. It was very disturbing this happended, because I usually have my 10 year old daughter in the vehicle. Also I am usually driving in the wee hours of the morning or at night. In addition the tire will cost $300 to pay for. I paid additional money for a tire warranty, which does not cover manufacturer defects.
My wife is a high school teacher. She has an assigned spot which is right up to the curb near an entrance to the school, approximately 150 feet between curb and building. As she entered her spot and prepared to come to a complete stop, with her foot on the brake, the engine made a loud noise, she saw an exclamation point flash twice on the dashboard, and with her foot still on the brake, the car raced uncontrollably forward jumping the curb and did not stop until she pushed the stop/start button on the dashboard of the keyless system. As there were many students and several teachers in the vicinity, it is extremely fortunate that the car stopped for my wife and every one else in the area.
