Tire Blowout problems of the 1998 Volkswagen Jetta

While driving in dry conditions, the right front tire blew out damaging the right fender (no tire information mentioned), ohio traffic crash report.

The original goodyear tires on the vehicle were constantly losing air, two tires eventually went flat, one tire experienced a blow out and the fourth tire experienced belt separation.

This car has been a pain in the a-- almost since purchase. The most serious problems have involved what seems to be defective wiring with respect to the electric windows. These have been repaired 3 times since the first incidence cited above,to the tune of $250, the last time being 6 months ago. Now I am told that it needs a new motor assembly to the tune of $650 parts and labor! other assorted door electrical problems. Other problems have been: door moldings falling off (this must be an inherent problem with '98 Jettas, because I've noticed that most of those that I see on the road have missing moldings). Both front tires blew out within 2 weeks of each other after an inappropiately short usage. Much lower gas mileage that originally promised. Most of these problems started well within warranty.

Original goodyear eagle tires, rear left and rear right tires blew off while on the road. Yh.
