While driving and with no warning, the left rear tire sidewall started to separate, causing a tire blowout. Dealer notifed. Size P235 175R15, dot6#M6hlfnwr2801. The vehicle started to sway to the left-2 times. The consumer's husband then started to decelerate, and on the third time the left rear tire exploded. The vehicle was very difficult to control, and damage was done to the panel(vent peelings), and the tires/rims needed to be replaced. (other) problems in detail are as followed: The wheel/tires were out of round, there was a vibration from the drive shaft, steering/excessive tire wear, and the engine thermostat is sticking.

Front end shakes and the vehicle floats. Vehicle wanders in between lanes. Dealer replaced front shocks, but the loose feeling is still there. The vehicle was vibrating due to bent rim. The brake failed at 6000 miles. There was engine noise and the cause was not known. The tires were on recall and were replaced by Firestone. The shcock absorbers also failed.

Comsumer was putting new tires on the vehicle but could not because all four rims are not symetrically round, this is a defect from the factory where the tires will not balance or keep an alignment. Nlm
