SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND SIMULTANEOUSLY HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD ABS SENSORS MUST BELIEVE THAT THE TIRES ARE SKIDDING. THE RESULTS ARE TERRIBLE. YOU CANNOT STOP VEHICLE. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GEORGE WHITE CHERVOLET. HE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT INDICATED THERE IS NO FIX. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIVEABLE. I AM POSITIVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. BUT, GMC DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO!! HOPEFULLY BEFORE I OR MY FAMILY GETS KILLED.*AK

TIRES
DRIVING ON A GRATED DIRT ROAD, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW AND ALMOST TOOK US OF THE ROAD. WE WERE GOING CAMPING AND WAS FORTUNATE IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN WE WERE GOING PASSED THE STEP LEDGES. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW IT FORCED US OFF THE ROAD AND INTO SOME BRUSH. NO VEHICLE OR PASSENGER INJURY (LUCKILY). I JUST WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE SO THAT MAYBE FIRESTONE WILL DO A RECALL ON SOME OF THE OTHER TIRES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. PLEASE TAKE THIS NEAR MISS INTO CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE IF THIS TIRE BLEW ABOUT 8 MILES EARLIER WE COULD HAVE WENT OFF THE EMBANKMENT. (TIRESIZE: P265/75/16)
