POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR TIRE ROTATION AND CHECK ALIGNMENT ON 3/12/2005. MAINTENANCE IS CURRENT. TURNS OUT BOTH FRONT TIRES (GENERAL TIRE 235-75R15) WERE WORN DOWN TO THE STEEL BELTS ON THE INSIDE EDGES ONLY, WITH THE STEEL BELTS ACTUALLY STICKING OUT IN THERE. I DO NO OFF-ROAD DRIVING- ONLY TO AND FROM WORK 2 MILES DAILY ON THE HIGHWAY AND AN OCCASIONAL TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY TO FORT COLLINS (260 MILES ROUND TRIP ONCE PER MONTH) - AND THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES ON THEM. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THESE DIDN'T BLOW ON US ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THERE IS A LEFT FRONT AXLE SEAL LEAK. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO DEALER ON MARCH 18 FOR REPAIR, BUT DEALER DID NOT PREORDER PARTS, SO I MUST RETURN THIS WEEK. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED IN SPITE OF THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T DARE WAIT. I ALSO HAD AN ALIGNMENT. (MY FIRST ALIGNMENT CHECK SHOWED NO PROBLEMS IN OCTOBER.) THE TIRE THING REALLY DISTURBS ME BECAUSE, IN 36 YEARS OF DRIVING BOTH NEW AND USED CARS AND TRUCKS, I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I'VE NEVER HAD AN AXLE SEAL LEAK IN A REASONABLY NEW VEHICLE EITHER.*AK
