I have 4 Michelin cross terrain tires P265/70R17. They are under warranty with plenty of tread but the side walls (not near tread) of all four tires have deep long cracks (up to 8 inches in length) I noticed this Sept. 2010 and the dealer isn't very helpful and just wants to charge me money for new tires. I believe this is a huge safety hazard and they should be recalled!
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with Firestone steel radial A/T tires, size LT245-75-R16. While driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph, the right rear tire blew. The inner side wall failed. The contact called the manufacturer but was told that the tire was not included in any recalls. The tire mileage was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 60,000.
Stopped to check air pressure in tires, that's when I saw the front driver side tire with a 6 inch sidewall separation leading from the rim sidewall to the tire tread. The rear driver side has a 3 inch separation starting into the sidewall.
GM headquarter now that you can break the lock on the door and enter the car or SUV without the alarm going off someone broke into my SUV on Sunday I talk to GM and they aware of what going on but they said the have to have many to report break in so I like to put this on tv. Thanks chase.
The speedometer is broken. After registering wrong speeds for a day (sometimes 0 mph), it finally stuck on 120mph. It no longer works. I contacted the dealer for help with the speedometer and with a problem I was having with inaccurate tire pressure readings and an inoperable second row (middle) seat belt. The dealer said sorry it is out of warranty, but the salesperson said she would check to see if there was anything she could do and call me back. I never heard from her. I can appreciate normal wear and tear repairs. On a two year old vehicle, I expected to replace my tires, not my seat belt and speedometer. At this point, I do not intend to buy another GM product!! I also do not intend to purchase from james wood in denton or Decatur, Texas.
