MY DAUGHTER WAS OFF TO SCHOOL, PROBABLY GOING 50 MPH WHEN THE SIDEWALL OF HER BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 400 TIRE BLEW OUT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAD ONLY 5300 MILES ON HER 2013 SCION XD. LOOKING OVER AT OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT BRIDGESTONE HAS SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON OTHER TIRES. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE TIRES?

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2013: 1 complaints · 2014: 1 complaints
