STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT
CLUNKING NOISE ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF 2004 GMC 1500 WITH 33000 MILES. WAS IN AT DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM. WAS INTERMEDIATE STEERING SECTION AND GM HAD NOT FOUND FIX FOR IT. SAID THAT THE CLUNKING WOULD RETURN IN FEW MONTHS. THEY PUT NEW GREASE IN. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 3000 MILES AND IT RETURNS? IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND EVEN WORSE? *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE TRAVELING WEST ON I-10, IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, I FELT A VIBRATION AND WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE FAILED. MY VEHICLE SWERVED AND I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE RUBBER ON THE TIRE SEPARATED AND EXPOSED THE INFLATED TIRE. THE TIRE MAINTAINED ITS AIR PRESSURE AND SOME OF THE STEEL BELT WAS VISIBLE BUT THE TREAD WAS MISSING. THE VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME, APPARENTLY, OVER STEERED IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID MY DISCARDED RUBBER AND DROVE OFF THE ROADWAY. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ASSISTED THIS DRIVER. THE DISCARDED RUBBER DAMAGED THE REAR BUMPER AND TAILGATE OF MY VEHICLE. THE TIRE WAS SENT TO FIRESTONE'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AT BFNT LLC ( REF # 917284) AND THEY EVALUATED IT. THEY ARE NOT CLAIMING THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. MY VEHICLE IS NOT USED OFF ROAD AND THE MODEL NUMBER IS LT245/75R16, STEELTEX RADIAL R4S II. *NM
