#754001November 1, 2001
WHEELS
THE WHEELS MAKE A RUBBING SOUND WHEN THE CAR IS TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE TIRE CASING WAS RUBBING THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL RIM. SIMILAR TO THE CONSUMER COMPLAINT #ODI ID 885314. THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED TO ME WAS THAT THE TIRE CASING WAS PHYSICALLY RIDING ON THE WHEEL RIM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY CONCERN. THE DEALER AND GM HAVE SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE TIRES ARE RUBBING ON THE WHEEL RIM IN CERTAIN EXTREME CONDITIONS THIS COULD CAUSE THE TIRE BEAD TO BREAK AND THE TIRE LOSE ALL IT'S AIR, AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM TO FIX THIS, BUT THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *AK
