HOUSTON A Houston Cadillac dealer is being accused of installing a tire backwards and putting more than 500 miles on a vehicle while it was at the dealership for service.
Jack Carroll filed a complaint March 29 in Harris County District Court against J. Stewart Investments Inc., and Stewart Cadillac LP doing business as Stewart Cadillac alleging deceptive trade practices, fraud, negligence and breach of contract.
According to Carroll s suit, he purchased a new 2017 Cadillac STS from Central Houston Cadillac on Aug. 20, 2018, which included nitrogen run-flat tires. He alleges that on Aug. 20, 2018, the vehicle s indicator light showed low tire pressure and that he was charged $403.06 to replace the tire. He further alleges that on July 10, 2019, he was driving on the 1-10 freeway when another tire on the vehicle abruptly deflated and caused the tire to shred and blow out.
