| Wheel problems |
I was driving in the highway at 65mph when the left rear tire blew out and the car swerved violently to the left. Thankfully there were no other cars around, and I was able to handle the steering wheel and break slowly, taking the car to the shoulder. The 4 tires were michelin defender 205/55r16 and were bought at costco on 01/2015. Supposedly they have 90,000 mile warranty. The car was not overloaded, I was the only passenger and the weather was cool.
While driving 30 mph front right wheel locked up for unknown reason. Dealer notified, and made repairs. However, problem reoccurred.
