WHEELS
FOUR TIRES OF AUTOGRIP P308 40K/AG308P1402 WERE PURCHASED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2015 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 61674 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE IN LATE FEBRUARY 2017 WITH ONLY 69933 MILES WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE TIRES WERE WORN TO THE WEARBAR. THIS WAS NOT THE LOCATION WHERE THE TIRES HAD BEEN PURCHASED. FOR WARRANTY REASONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE TIRES HAD BEEN PURCHASED AND HAD THEM REPLACED, THE COMPANY THAT THE TIRES WERE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FROM DID NOT REPLACE TIRES FOR FREE, BUT PRORATED THE COST OF NEW TIRES. THEY NO LONGER CARRY THIS BRAND AND CLAIM THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MY SPOUSE AND I FEEL THAT THE TIRES THEMSELVES WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT DO NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT. THIS IS THE SIXTH VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE OWNED IN OUR ADULT LIVES AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCE SUCH A QUICK PRODUCT FAILURE WITH TIRES. WE BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER AND THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THE CONCERN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. IT CAN'T BE THROTTLED BEYOND 10-15 MPH, SO PULLED OVER. TOOK IT TO CLOSEST AUTO PARTS SHOP AND THE CODE READER CAME UP WITH P2101/P2135 INDICATING THERE IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH 'THROTTLE' FUNCTIONALITY. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED BY GM ENG. TEAM AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WITH THE SAME MODEL BUT GM IS NOT CONSIDERING TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND EXPECT GM TO HELP FIXING IT. IT IS SAME AS NHTSA 10034366. *TR

HARDLY EVER HAVE A PASSENGER IN THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BY THE INCREDIBLE LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND KEPT UP THE MAINTENANCE RELIGIOUSLY! I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT MY TIMING BELT WENT OUT AT 46,000 MILES! MY MANUAL SAYS TO REPLACE TIMING BELT AT 60,000 MILES. I'VE READ THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2006, BUT IT DIDN'T GO TO OWNERS; JUST SERVICE SHOPS...I WAS NEVER ALERTED, THAT WAS DEFINITELY A MISTAKE ON GM'S PART. I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED!!!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE BACKING UP MY VEHICLE I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 500 RPM. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, AND TURN THE IGNITION TO OFF. I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART TO VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TWO OR THREE TIMES. ONETIME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND I HAD TO PRESS HARD ON THE BREAK AND SHUT OFF IGNITION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SEEMS LIKE IT MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE ( IN THE 30"S F) . I THINK THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
