Driving South on interstate 15 in #1 lane South of cedar city, Utah. The truck suddenly shook violently and within seconds there was a loud explosion with debris fly a head of me. I fought to control my vehicle and was able to slow down to pull off on the shoulder of the road with hitting any one. The tire that exploded was on left front. The entire tread came off of the tire and tire separated where the tire was seamed together during manufacture. There was extensive damage to the vehicle bent front bumper, tore the wheel well liner, dented the front door in several places and dented rocker panel under the front door. The tire was a bf goodrich all terrain T/a ko, lt285R70/17 load range E. the tire had a 50,000 mile warranty but had just a little 20,000 miles with 10/32 tread on all tires which means there was 60% tread life left in the tires. When I was almost home, I notice a type of vibration like a tire was unbalance or out of round. I check the other three tires and discovered the right rear tire had large bulge across the tread which indicates that another tire was failing. Took the tires to the dealer and told me that me these failures were do to a manufacturer/workmanship defect. Michelin which makes the bf goodrich tires wants me to pay for a new set of tires and damage to my truck and verbally they tell me they may reimburse me but will not put that in writing. I do not trust them and will never buy bf goodrich or Michelin tires again. Michelin has a recall on this line of tires in various sizes but not in my size. Do not understand why my size was not recalled because all sizes in the all terrain line are made with the same materials and manufacturing process the same for all sizes. The only difference is the size of the tire.

Chevrolet dealership in gaylord, Michigan installed dunlop AT20 grandtrek P245/75R16 tires on my hd 2500 Silverado pickup truck. This truck is a 3/4 ton pickup. These tires were passenger tires rated at 4 ply and never designed to be installed on a 3/4 ton pickup truck. I was not aware of this until June 2014 when I learned this from the Goodyear tire Corp. After they sent me to have their tires inspected. My truck requires lt tires and at least 10 ply. Chevrolet dealership in gaylord made my truck unsafe and dangerous to drive. One tire eventually blew out on the expressway, fortunately a motorist I was passing pulled up along side us and signaled that we had a problem up front at the passenger side wheel area! question is, why would a Chevrolet dealership not know what tires to install on their own Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks? I asked them to put on the correct tires ( 10 ply - lt tires) according to the placard located on my drivers side door at no charge but they refused now what action is to be taken against a dealership who would do this" I had lt tires on the truck back in June of 2010 when I pulled into this Chevy dealership to have one tire repaired because of a slow leak. They talked me into buying 4 new tires and these are the ones they recommended and I agreed to. I did not know that these were not designed to be used on a 3/4 ton pickup truck. I had 75K miles on the truck then and to make matters worse they gave me free rotations every 6 - 8K miles without ever telling me they had installed incorrect tires on my truck! this is a nightmare! what do you suggest I do" GM has been zero help in this matter!!!!---I've tried but they are worthless! and this dealership is pathetic that they will not acknowledge their mistake and correct it by refunding my money back! I could have been killed or another motorist or seriously injured someone.

ABS system activates on left front at slow roll. Normal slow stop not safe in traffic. Now happens all the time.I am an automotive tech. At collision restoration in fairfield NJ..the sensor is removable and nd replaceable...if... GM would sell it separately, but they want you to spend $300 for a hub assembly (that you don't need)to get the sensor.

Silverado 2500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Consumer stated while driving on I-66, around mile marker 58, the tire blew out. This happened at 6:45 am. Consumer felt the steering wheel shook, and he felt the rear of the vehicle would fall. This was the driver's side rear tire. The tires had been rotated approximately 2 weeks ago. The tire was previously on the front driver's side. Consumer had a picture that he will send in. The entire sidewall blew out. This occurred on a 2004, Chevrolet Silverado. This was the original tire for the vehicle. Consumer contacted Chevrolet that he had been dissatisfied with general tires in the past, and tried to have the dealership change them at the time of purchase.

On three separate occasions while applying the brake pedal it went to the floor. The vehicle failed to stop. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. However, the mechanic could not duplicate the problem at this time. The ABS/brake light stayed on, there was an intermittent rattle in the flywheel, the consumer stated that the clutch has no "throw."
