TIRES, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
TIRES WEAR OUT EXCEPTIONALLY FAST. DEALERSHIP AUTHORIZED REPLACEMENT OF 4 TIRES IN MARCH 2000. AT THIS TIME, THE TRUCK HAD APPROX. 16,500 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME WEAR AND NUMEROUS BULGES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER HAVING THESE 4 TIRES REPLACED, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 20 MPH TO MAKE A TURN, A TIRE BLEW. THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE RIM ON BOTH EDGES AND WAS JUST CENTERED, HANGING LOOSELY FROM THE RIM, TOTALLY DEFLATED. I WENT AHEAD AND PULLED INTO A STATION ABOUT 20 YARDS AWAY, WHERE I JACKED THE TRUCK UP AND WAS ABLE TO CENTER THE TIRE ON THE WHEEL & REINFLATE IT. THE TIRE HELD PRESSURE & I WAS ABLE TO FINISH ERRANDS & THEN GO TO GOODYEAR. AT THIS TIME, GOODYEAR TELLS ME I HIT A NAIL. THEY PLUGGED THE TIRE, BUT TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS MY NEW TIRES, WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES, WERE BADLY WORN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME TO RETURN TO GOODYEAR FOR ADJUSTMENT. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM, DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE TIRES OR THE TRUCK?? WHEN THE TIRE CAME LOOSE, I BUMPED THE CURB & SUSTAINED ABOUT $1000 OF DAMAGE, REAR AXLE, BEARINGS, ROTOR ETC. HOW CAN A TIRE TOTALLY SEPERATE FROM THE RIM & THEN BE REINFLATED WITHOUT REPAIR? WHY DO THE TIRES ON THIS TRUCK KEEP WEARING OUT? ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER CUSTOMER TODAY AT HUDIBURG WITH A SIMILAR PROBLM. THEY WERE REPLACING 2 TIRES FOR HIM AFTER REPLACING ALL 5 TIRES PREVIOUSLY. WISH THEY WERE AS CONSIDERATE IN MY CASE, INSTEAD OF SENDING ME BACK TO DEAL WITH GOODYEAR MYSELF!! HERE I SIT WITH A 1999 SIERRA WHICH NEEDS NEW TIRES..THERE HAS TO BE A REASON WHY THEY WEAR OUT SO RAPIDLY??WHY WOULD A TIRE SEPERATE FROM THE RIM/ THEN BE ABLE TO BE REINFLATED WITHOUT REPAIR??*AK( DOT NUMBER: PD3DDAWR27 TIRE SIZE: 23575R16 )

SEATS
I CONTACTED NHTSA SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I WAS INFORMED THAT GM HAD A LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT RAILS IN THEIR VARIOUS VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA HAS MANY-MANY VEHICLES TO INSPECT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING MY GM DEALER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS WITH VARIOUS PROBLEMS-BROKEN INTERIOR DOR HANDLE-FAILURE(S) WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS-FUEL PUMP FAILURES-BURNED WIRING HARNASS(WHERE I HAD TO SHOW THEM WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS WAS LOCATED-TRAINED TECHS??-ALTERNATOR FAILURE-AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE-ATC... THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF COURSE IS THE SEAT RAILS. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN REDISNED AND THE METAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HEAT TREATED, THE SEAT RAILS HAVE A POOR QUALITY METAL-HEAT TREATMENT WOULD HAVE SPLVED THEIR PROBLEM{S}. I HAVE TAUGHT AUTO REPAIR FOR 30+ YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH SUCH A BUNCH OF NON-CARING ASS HOLES. MADE IN AMERICA-PURHAPS I SHOULD PURCHASE SOMETHING FROM JAPAN-AT LEAST THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS CORRECTLY-DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH LOOSE SEATS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM DRIVING A FOUND ON THE ROAD DEAD CAR-FORD (PINTO). . I HOPE THAT NHTSA WILL TAKE ACTION ON GM AND STICK IT TO THEM. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *AK
