THE TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATELY FROM THE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES. I HEARD A POP SOUND AND WITHIN 15SECOND I LOSS CONTROL OF MY CAR 2015 MAZDA 6 I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INCIDENT

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE SHORE TODAY GOING 70MPH I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND WITHIN 15 SECOND MY 2015 MAZDA 6 13,000 MILES WAS OUT OF CONTROL I BARLEY MADE IT CROSSING FOUR LANES OF TRAFFICS TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. ONCE I EXITED THE CAR I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE P245/65R19 SPORT WAS THE ISSUE UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION I NOTICED THE TIRE BROKE OFF APPROX 1" ABOVE WHERE THE DOT NUMBERS ARE LOCATED. THE INSIDE OF TIRE TO THE RIM ALSO BROKE OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE RIM. THE TIRE WAS STILL COMPLETELY ROUND BUT WAS SEPARATED FROM THE RIM. STILL APPROX 2" OF THE RUBBER WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE RIM. I TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND RIM. I'M NOW AFRAID THE THREE REMAINING TIRES MAY STILL HAVE THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. I WAS A POLICE OFFICER FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY TRAVEL WELL OVER 100MPH WHILE PERFORMING MY DUTIES AND NOT ONCE IN THOSE 35 YEARS DID I EVER EXPERIENCE A TIRE SEPARATING FROM THE RIM LIKE TODAY. I REALLY FEEL THAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO AN AVERAGE DRIVER THAT DRIVER WOULD'VE COMPLETELY LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEATH TO HIM OR TO OTHER DRIVERS. PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO ME ASAP. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN SEND YOU THE PICTURES I TOOK ON IPHONE.

WAS FOLLOWING A CAR AND CAME UP TO A STOP LIGHT. I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT SOME RESISTANCE BUT CAR WOULD NOT STOP. FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING BLED OFF BY PERHAPS COMPUTER CONTROL. I SWITCHED INTO A RIGHT HAND TURN LANE THAT WAS CLEAR, CAR STILL NOT STOPPING. SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP PERHAPS TO 4500 RPM OR SO, THEN ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE ON ITS OWN. THE CAR HAD STOPPED AND I PUT IT IN PARK. WE THEN TURNED RIGHT AND CAUTIOUSLY PROCEEDED HOME, WITHOUT A FURTHER PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AND REQUESTED THE MEMORY BE ANALYZED, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT READ THE BLACK BOX AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT SHOWED NO FAULTS. TEST DRIVE WAS UNEVENTFUL. I AGAIN REQUESTED THE BLACK BOX BE ANALYZED AS THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE BLEEDING OFF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW IF MAZDA NEEDED ANYTHING MORE. MY BACKGROUND INCLUDES AUTO MECHANIC, TOW TRUCK DRIVER, CAR DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, AND ANALYST. *TR

I HAD DONE TONS OF RESEARCH AND FINALLY FOUND THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS WANTING. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW MAZDA6. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF, WHEN SUDDENLY, AS I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I GOT MY SPEED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH WHEN I HEARD THREE LOUD POPS. I SAW MY WINDSHIELD BEGINNING TO SPLIT FROM THE SEAL AT THE BASE. IT SPLIT CENTRAL ABOVE MY DEFROSTER. BY THE TIME I TRAVELED TWO MILES TO PULL OVER, I HAD WATCHED THE CRACK GROW, FORMING AN S SHAPE ONTO MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS IMMEDIATELY ADVISED IF IT WAS A ROCK CHIP, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THERE WAS NO ROCK CHIP ON MY WINDSHIELD, I LOOKED AT IT AND TOOK PICTURES OF IT. BY THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF WORK, THE CRACK HAD GROWN, COVERING ABOUT 1/3 OF THE HEIGHT OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE SPLIT BEGAN WIDEN A BIT AND A COUPLE OF LITTLE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE BREAKING OFF. I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN SECONDS THEY STATED IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED DUE TO A ROCK CHIP WHEN I WATCHED IT SPLIT FROM THE BASE SEAL OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR SIGN OF A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. THEY MADE SUCH A QUICK JUDGMENT THAT I FEEL THEY HAD MADE THIS DECISION PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL. *TR

CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. WENT INTO STORE, NO CRACK. CAME BACK OUT, CRACK. NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, HAVE NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK, EVEN WHEN IT HAD BEEN CHIPPED BY ROCKS. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CRACK IS IN THE CENTER OF WINDSHIELD, STARTS BELOW THE SEAL AT THE BOTTOM AND GOES ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY UP. *TR

BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND RECEIVED A TWENTY-SIX INCH LONG GLASS BREAK ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FROM A SMALL TINY ROCK. THE BREAK BEGINS AT THE STRUCTURE OF THE WINDSHIELD FRAME AND EXTENDS BEYOND. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED TO RECEIVE ANY BREAK IN THE GLASS FROM A TINY ROCK ALONG WITH THE NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. FURTHERMORE, DAYS LATER ANOTHER TINY ROCK HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN THE SAME AREA AND CREATED ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER BREAK BUT A CHIP INSTEAD. *TR
