2012 Volkswagen Jetta Wheels Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND AVOIDED HITTING THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. THE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE RIM. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIM DISINTEGRATED AND EXHIBITED FRACTURES IN TWO LOCATIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION FOR FURTHER INSPECTION HOWEVER; THE CONTACT INSURANCE COMPANY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTAL AND WOULD BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

THIS IS REGARDS TO THE TOYO TIRES ON MY CAR WHICH ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THAT. THE BEADING OF THE TIRE ARE WEEK AND THERE IS BUBBLE ON THE TIRE. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AB SUDDENLY THE TIRE EXPLODED AND ALL THE BEADING IS CUT BUT NOT EVEN A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THE RIM OR THE CAR. I AM HOPING THIS WOULD BE ADDRESSED AND SAVE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.

AT THE TIME OF A ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION, IT WAS NOTICED THE INSIDE OF 3 TIRES WERE SPLIT. ONE OF THESE SPLITS WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT THE TIRE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING FURTHER. THE TREAD ON THE TIRES AND OUTSIDE SURFACE WAS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE WAS ALMOST HALF THE REGULAR TREAD LEFT. IT SEEMS UNUSUAL TO HAVE SPLITS ON THREE TIRES AT ONCE IN THE SAME LOCATION ON WHAT OTHERWISE WOULD STILL BE GOOD TIRES. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY UNUSUAL ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON TIRE WEAR. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.

ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO WASTE MORE SCHOOL TIME AND GAS MONEY, AFTER MY LAST 20K VISIT ON MY CAR THE NOISE WAS DRIVING ME MORE AND MORE INSANE, I TRIED IGNORING THE ISSUE AND TURNING THE MUSIC UP, BUT THE NOISE HAD STARTED TO PROGRESSIVELY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD HERE IT EVEN WITH MUSIC ON, THAN ON TOP OF THAT I STARTED TO HEAR NEW AND UNUSUAL NOISE THAT HAD NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE, I STARTED TO HEAR SPORADIC HIGH PITCH NOISES FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE WHEN I WAS AT HIGH RPM'S OR WHENEVER HITTING ON THE GAS, IT WOULD START OFF LOW PITCH THAN HIGH PITCH, THAN WOULD RATTLE, THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD SHOWN THE SAME TECHNICIAN A VIDEO RECORDING OF IT, AND HE WAS BAFFLED HE ALSO EVEN HEARD THE NOISE HIMSELF. I ALSO NOTIFIED THEM THAT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT WOULD SOUND LIKE A DOOR WAS OPEN, EVEN MY GUEST I HAVE HAD IN IT COMPLAINED TO ME THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DOORS ARE OPEN. THE SERVICE REP TRIED TREATING ME LIKE A FOOL AND ROLLED MY BACK WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE THAN BROUGHT ME OUTSIDE AND SAID THIS IS WHY YOU ARE HEARING THE WIND NOISE, AND I HAD TOLD HER I WAS WATCHING YOU THE ENTIRE TIME YOU HAD ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN, AND THAN SHE TRIED TO TELL ME SHE DIDN'T EVEN THOUGH I WATCHED HER DO IT, THIS PLACE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY, AND DISRESPECTED ME IN-FRONT ME , AND I ALSO NOTED THAT SOME RUBBER SEALS WERE COMING OFF THE DOOR EDGES, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, MAKING ME FEEL LIKE THIS CAR WASN'T WELL PUT TOGETHER AND COULD RUN INTO POSSIBLE FUTURE ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN VW TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR YOU ARE JUST HEARING STUFF, AND KICKED ME OUT THE DOOR WITH NO EXPLANATION AT ALL. *TR
