UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD SUDDENLY APPEAR AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SIDE AND ABOVE THE RADIO CONTROLS. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK, THIS IS JUST VERY POOR QUALITY AND POSSIBLE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE CRACKS ARE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG! GM MUST REPLACE THIS AT NO COST FOR THE CUSTOMERS!

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER WITH NITTO AND HAVE HAD THE TIRES INSPECTED BY ONE OF THERE DISTRIBUTORS AT THEIR REQUEST. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIRE SEPARATION THAT IS OCCURRING APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE FROM THIS SAME MANUFACTURER TO FALL APART AND AT APPROX 18000 MILES WITH THIS SET. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN AS THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR DEFECT UNTIL THEY ARE ABOUT TO FAIL. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE BECOME AN EXPERT AT FEELING THE IRREGULARITIES WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE NOW STARTED INSPECTING THE TIRES IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MY LIFE IS THREATENED. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT I WAS HOPING TO GET THE TIRES, I SAVED TWO OF THEM, BACK TO NITTO FOR EXAMINATION. THEY INITIALLY SEEMED VERY INTERESTED AFTER HEARING THE NEWS FROM THEIR INSPECTOR, BUT MY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM HAVE BEEN IGNORED AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO FOLLOW UP AS PROMISED. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE ONE TIRE ALREADY DUE TO MY LOCATION AWAY FROM HOME AT TIME OF INCIDENT AND WHILE TRAVELING HOME I FELT THE OTHER TIRE START TO GO AND YES THIS WAS ALSO INSPECTED. I WILL NOW REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES YET AGAIN (WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER THIS TIME) FOR SIMPLE FEAR OF FAILURE AND INJURY OR DEATH. I FELT AT MINIMUM YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION IN CASE OTHERS HAVE BEEN INJURED DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS. IT BOTHERS ME GREATLY THAT THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE THESE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. I WASN'T REQUESTING ANY WARRANTY OR COMPENSATION, SO IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY FOR ME.

TAKATA ARECALL A FEW YEARS AGO AFTER HEARING ABOUT A MAJOR AIR BAG DEFECT INVOLVING SEVERAL THOUSAND VEHICLES & THEN SOMETIME LATER WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR 2008 CHEVROLET WAS ONE OF THE UNITS COVERED BY THE DEFECTIVE & DANGEROUS AIR BAG. ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER HERE" BILL BUCK CHEVROLET" IN VENICE FLORIDA WHERE WE WERE TOLD THEY DIDNT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHEN WE COULD EXPECT TO GET IT REPAIRED. NOW THE LATEST I HAVE READ IS THE OLDER UNITS THAT ARE IN HOT, HUMID, STATES LIKE FLORIDA ARE THE ONES MOST APT TO EXPLODE IF I CAN GET ANY INFORMATION OR SHOULD I START RESEARCHING OTHER VEHICLES.
