WHEELS:RIM, TIRES:SIDEWALL
EVENTS LAST WEEK, ONE OF OUR 2005 SILVERADO'S (HAS 40,000 MILES), WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HAD A SERIOUS TIRE BLOW OUT. IT TORE COMPLETELY APART. WE HAVE PICTURES TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION OF THE TIRE. THE RIM OF THE TRUCK WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE OF THE TIRE BLOW OUT. AFTER THE TIRE BLEW OUT, THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY ON THE RIM. LUCKILY, THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND NOT DAMAGE THE TRUCK ANY FURTHER. THE TIRE WAS A BRIDGESTONE DUELER A/T. UNDER THE SELECT TIRE SIZE THE CORRECT INFORMATION IS 26570R17. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THIS INFORMATION IN THAT BOX. FAILURE THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE WE HAD THE RIM REPAIRED AND THE 4 TIRES REPLACED. *TR

STEERING
MY CHEVY SILVERADO HAS HAD THE STEERING FIXED 3 TIMES AND ITS DOING IT AGAIN. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY ITS DOING IT, THE STEERING WHEEL TURN 2 TIMES AROUND TO MAKE A TURN, EVEN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE GARAGE HERE HAS WORKED ON IT AND SAY THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT YEAR OF TRUCK. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON IT BY NOW? IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY. *JB
