2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Owner Comments

problem #4

Cavalier

  • 71,430 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Purchased four Goodyear tires 11/06. While driving 55-60 mph, valve stem on left rear tire failed (4/16/09) causing tire to come apart (tread separated from sidewall). After spare tire installed by aaa, proceeded to store where originally purchased. Goodyear service center stated valve stem had failed; I purchased new tire at pro-rated cost. Service center also replaced valve stems on the other tires because they looked bad. In response to a question from another customer about valve stems from china, the clerk mentioned those valve stems had been removed from the center's inventory. Old parts not available.
