I was traveling north on i-95 going about 65 mph in the center lane. All of a sudden i heard a loud boom and i see out of my left sideview mirror, the left side of my bumper flip up into the air. I lost control of my vehicle and it started swerving left and right. My car crossed over the right lane and i was able to pull off onto the shoulder and into a grassy area just north of the glades road exit. When i got out of my vehicle to check the damage, right away i see large pieces of my tire tread laying in the road about 20 feet back. The left side of my bumper is scratched and torn from the car. The tire was completely bald and the tread was pealed off, laying in the street. The panel between my bumper and left rear door is snapped off and hanging by a small piece. I opened the left rear door and the whole inside frame is cracked and in pieces. It looks like when the tire tread peeled off, it beat into the door, side panel and bumper and busted them right off. The tire was not punctured nor did i run over any debris in the road. This is clearly a manufacturer's defect.i changed my tire and put the spare on and drove to a nearby shop to have a new tire put on. I taped up my bumper because it would flap around as i drive. The tire was a firestone tire and it is the original tire that came on my 2004 brand new saturn ion. I contacted firestone to explain the situation and make them aware that this is their responsibility. I keep my car in top condition, i get oil changes every 3,000 miles, fill my tires with air every month and i rotate them every other oil change as well. Of course, firestone denied my claim advising the tire had over deflection and that is why the tire tread peeled off the tire. I called firestone and spoke with the paralegal who sent the denial letter. I advised her that firestone is responsible for fixing the damage on my vehicle or paying my $250 deductible to my insurance company in order for them to fix the damage. Firestone denied.

My family and i were coming up from florida when it started to rain. I felt the car slipping on the road so i moved over into the far right hand land. The car slipped again and i hydroplaned and crashed car on nov. 29th due to tires that were only 6months old. I felt these new tires had been worn smooth after only 10,000 miles of usage with a car that had no brake or alignment issues. The tires were full of air at the right pressure and i noticed no tread issues before leaving out of town. When filling out the police report, the officer wrote me a ticket claiming the accident happened because of the tires. We had to stay overnight in a hotel and purchased new tires the next day. I still retain the tires.

The air pressure on the tire was checked just prior to beginning the trip. The condition of the tire was checked prior to the trip and the tire appeared to be in excellent condition.
