TIRES:TREAD/BELT
RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO AL AFTER HAVING OUR YUKON XL FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS, WE HAD A BLOWOUT AT 4AM. WE HEARD A CLUNK AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. THE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED. WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. NOW THAT WE KNOW FIRESTONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THESE TIRES IN TO FIRESTONE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND AND THEN GO BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS SAID THEY WILL INSPECT THE TIRES FOR FREE AND IF THEY SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY TIRE, THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT TIRE WITH ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE FIRESTONE TIRES. CAN YOU HELP?*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE TIRE TREAD CAME APART AND CAUSED US TO HAVE A BLOWOUT ON THE FREEWAY. WE PAID TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AT A FIRESTONE DEALER BECAUSE THE GM DEALER TOLD US IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE FIRESTONE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT WE HAD RUN OVER ANY ROAD HAZARDS TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO COME APART. WE ARE TRYING TO GET GM TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IN LIGHT OF RECENT NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THESE FIRESTONE TIRES, WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR FAMILY ON THESE TIRES. WE FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND WE DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265\70RI6 )

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY NEW GMC WAS SHIPPED WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. WE HAD AN INTERMITTANT INDICATION (WARNINING LIGHT) ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VECHICLE. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG WAS TAKEN/NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY AND THAT THE WIRING WAS RIGGED TO SHOW AN AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THEN THEY CREATED A FILE. BOTTOMLINE...IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED THE SYSTEM SHOULD INDICATE A FAULT. IF MY AIRBAG WAS TAKEN THERE MAY BE OTHER FAMLIES DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED HOW IT COULD PASS A SYSTEMS SENSOR CHECK. THE LOCAL GM DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW AIRBAG.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES, WITH A CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU RECEIVE NO TACTILE FEEDBACK VIA INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE PETAL THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING ENGAGED. YOU CAN PRESS THE BRAKE PETAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL NOT GET A POSITIVE FEELING THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO QUANTATATIVE MEASUREMENTS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT IS WITHIN MANUFACTURER SPECS. THE MANUFACTURER WANTS TO WAIT OVER 7 DAYS BEFORE ANOTHER DEALER CAN SEE THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCT TESTS.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A TWO-HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SWAMP-NO PEOPLE OR CONSTRUCTION SITES AROUND, NOR WAS THERE A CAR NEXT TO ME. AS THE WINDOW LOST STRENGTH FROM SHATTERING IT BOWED IN AND I PULLED OVER TO KNOCK OUT THE REST OF THE GLASS. WITH THE REMAINING GLASS AROUND THE CAR, I SUSTAINED CUTS TO MY LEFT HAND AND A PIECE FLEW INTO MY EYE AND TORE A CONTACT. MY YOUNG DAUGTER SUSTAINED SCRATCHES ON HER SCALP DUE TO GLASS IN HER HAIR.WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE STATED THAT HE HAD HEARD THE REAR WINDOWS BLOWING OUT BUT NOT THE SIDE ONES! ALL WE WANTED TO WAS RELINGUISH THE LEASE, BUT GMC REFUSED. WE HAD TO PAY OUT- I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES.THANK YOU. *AK
