While driving front driver's side and passenger's side tires lose pressure, which causes rear ABS brakes to make a knocking sound when the brakes are applied. Please add any further details.

I brought my car in October of 99 and I've been through 11 brand new tires for some unexplained reason I keep having blowouts all the treads are intact but the sides of the tires end up with chunks missing from them. I was driving in the city doing about 30 when I felt my car pulling away from me and I could barley control it so I pulled over to check it out N there were 2 chunks missing out fot the outer side of the tire from it blowing out and the inner side of the tire looked like someone took a can opener to it. Needless to say the 4 original tires my car came with did the same thing those tires were replace and my tires can only be replaced by good year model P185/60R15 no other tire fits I had 4 tires replaced in mayof 2000 then I replaced another 3 because of the same problem in feb2001 all at my own expense and it is now July and a nother tire blew im sick of it. At first I thought maybe it was just wear and tare but not im starting to wonder 11 tires in less then 2 years something has to be wrong. (tiresize: P185\60R15)

When driving at 20-40 mph consumer applied brakes when vehicle started to decelerate, but vehicle failed to stop in a timely manner, causing consumer to rear end another vehicle. Insurance company informed consumer that there was a recall, 01V154, consumer had not received any recall, insurance company is pursuing the matter with Chrysler.
