ALSO, TRUCK DOES NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE STARTS TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. DEALER HAD ADVISED CONSUMER TO GIVE THE VEHICLE A "SETTLE IN PERIOD" UP TO 500 MILES, VEHICLE HAS 15000 MILES, AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TRUCK WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. NOTICED A BULGE IN TIRE. WENT IN HOUSE TO INFORM ROOM-MATE. TIRE BLEW OUT SIDE WHERE BULGE WAS, WHILE JUST SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. BLEW GRAVEL INTO NEIGHBORS GARAGE AND VEHICLE (JEEP). TIRE HAD A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER BETWEEN THE SIDEWALL AND THE TREAD. FIRESTONE DEALER CHARGED US TO REPLACE THE TIRE - SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY - AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WE DID?

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I KNOW THAT THE S10 WAS RECALLED FOR THE WIPERS PROBLEM AND LOOKED IT UP AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SILVERADO'S WERE NOT RECALLED. THEN I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO RECALL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE S10'S AND IT HAS THE SAME WIPER MOTOR. SO WHY WILL THEY NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM TOO. *AK
