The vehicle experienced a heavy vibration, which was due to a problem with the tires.
While traveling from columbus, ne to sioux falls, sd on sd hwy. 50 west of vermillion, sd, my right front tire exploded with no warning. The explosion destroyed the tire and tore loose the lower right side body molding. The serviceman at the sioux falls sears told me he had adjusted several other identical michelin tires for the very same problem. I am concerned about the other tires on my car and that we may have a defective batch of tires here. Vw was contacted but has refused to repair the damaged molding under warranty. (dot number: cxyx 1201 tiresize: 195/65r15).
A blowout caused two punctures through fuel tank and severe fuel leakage. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and repairs were being made under its warranty. Tire was a continental, size p195/65r15, dot# lmpcpxbu.
