We own a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving at 55 mph, he heard a loud bang noise and experienced difficulty steering the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. We pull over to inspect the vehicle, we did not see any problems with the tires and they looked ok. But there was smoke coming up from the front passenger side. We were able to drive the vehicle another mile before more smoke was coming from under the passenger side. When we pulled over again we realized the right front tire on the passenger side was shredded. We called aaa. Replaced the tire with the spare and went home. We called the vw dealer and took the car in. They said it was a front suspension coil spring that broke and punctured the right front tire.
