We have classified the 4 complaints from 2001 Chevrolet Prizm about TIRES into the following categories.
Right front tire blew out unexpectedly while driving. had not yet anything. tire was split radially from bead to bead. the noise was so loud that i originally thought it was the suspension failing. tire was a sigma tempest by cooper size: p185/65r14. your database does not include this product / size combination. i put a placeholder in that was closest. *gem
I had a 180 degree turn accident caused on the morning of 5/16/05 at i-96 east, livonia mi with my chevy prizm that had all the four tiers replaced on 11/04. one of the bf goodrich tiers (rear) was the cause of the accident. the relatively new tier (had only 9,000 miles on it) kind of has burst into two or more pieces and had made me slid from one lane to another, hitting the median and turned 180. the rear of the car is greatly damaged. the car was towed and taken to the sam's club where the tier was replaced. we have filed complaints with bf good rich, and gm. the rear tier seems to be the leading cause for the failure. we still have not fixed the car except the rear tier. we have the old tier with us
Car shifted while traveling 50 mph due to both flat tires on left side of the vehicle, pulled car on the right side of the road and called aaa. two tires blew out at the same time.
