LEFT TO LAS VEGAS FROM LOS ANGELES 7/2/14JUT BEFORE GETTING TO LAS VEGAS THE VEHICLE FELT SHAKING OR TREMBLING BUT I ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROAD. AS TIME WENT BY ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IT BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE TO ME AND MY WIFE . I CALLED THE GM DEALER IN VALENCIA CA AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE TIRE WEIGHTS SO I WENT TO JIFFY LUBE FOR INSPECTION AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE ON THE TIRE WEIGHTS. DRIVING BACK ON SUNDAY AT 6:30 AM ABOUT 20 MILES FROM BAKER THE TREMBLING GOT VERY BAD TO THE POINT I DECELERATED BUT TO NO AVAIL. IT GOT TO THE POINT I CALLED THE GM DEALER AGAIN AROUND 7:30 AM AND DURING THE CONVERSATION THE DRIVER REAR TIRE BLEW UP. I SENT THE TIRE TO MICHELIN AND FILED CLAIM BUT THEY DENIED IT ON THE BASIS THAT IT HIT AN OBSTACLE WHICH IS A COMPLETE FABRICATION OF THE EVENTS THAT LEAD TO THE TIRE BLOWING UP. I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION BUT I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A GOVERNMENT OR STATE DEPARTMENT WHO WILL INSPECT THE TIRE AND GIVE ME AN HONEST RESULT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE TIRE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT CAME APART FROM THURSDAY TO SUNDAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT OFFICE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
