OUR TIRE SHREDDED WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING ON A CALIFORNIA FREEWAY AT 75+ MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WHEN THE TIRE BLEW AND NEITHER MYSELF, MY HUSBAND OR 18 MONTH OLD BABY WERE INJURED. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT TIME ONE OF OUR TIRES SHREDS. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MORE PEOPLE DIE OR GET INJURED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY TIRES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES
AT LEAST ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES STARTED MAKING A RAPID, VIBRATING, SLAPPING NOISE THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL, AND MUCH FASTER THAN THE ROAD JOINTS. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WHEN THE NOISE STARTED. MY WIFE AND I AND TWO KIDS WERE SCARED. WE PULLED OVER AND I LOOKED AT ALL THE TIRES. NO OBVIOUS DEFECTS FROM A VISUAL INSPECTION. WE RESUMED, AND THE NOISE RESUMED AT 70. WE DROVE AT ABOUT 50 ON THE REST OF THE TRIP, AND HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO TAKE THE SUBURBAN ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE. I READ IN THE PAPER TODAY THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE STEELTEX R4S FOR DEFECTS. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE TWICE PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THESE TIRES. THE FIRST TIME, I GOT A NON-RESPONSIVE GENERIC RESPONSE ON THE WILDERNESS RECALL. THE SECOND TIME, I GOT NO RESPONSE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TIRES. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED WITH FIRESTONE OR CHEVROLET TO GET THESE TIRES REPLACED WITH SAFE TIRES. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY STEELTEX R4S TIRES. PLEASE HELP. THANKS. JEAN R. KROEGER II. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VN11B14045 TIRESIZE: LT245/75R1)

SEATS
THE LOWER SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. A 3 OR 4 INCH SECTION OF THE STEEL PLATE BROKE IN TO 4 PIECES WHERE TH BOLT HOLDS THE SEAT TO THE BASE. THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR BEEN SUBJECT TO ANY UNDUE STRESS. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE STEEL IS EVIDENTLY OF POOR QUALITY. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IF ONE CORNER BROKE WHAT IS TO SAY THAT THE REST WON'T, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE SEAT ISN'T ANCHORED PROPERLY. WE HATE TO THINK WHAT COULD AND WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS HAD BROKEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. WOULD ANY OF OUR SEATS HAVE HELD OUR FAMILY? SEAT BELTS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ENOUGH. CHEVY WILL NOT REPLACE THE FRAME BECAUSE WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND IS NOT A WARRANTY SITUATION. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!
