TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED A SET OF BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES FOR MY 1999 GMC YUKON. THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT AFTER I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 12 MILES SINCE THE NEW TIRE WAS INSTALLED AT THE DISCOUNT TIRE DEALERSHIP IN BURIEN WASHINGTON. THE TIRE WAS A C LOAD RATED TIRE, SIZE 265 16 R75. THE ENTIRE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SIDEWALL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOW OUT WITH THIS CHARACTERISTIC. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS EVENT AND IT OCCURRED ON A BAND NEW TIRE. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER TIRES WITH THIS SAME DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE AN 1999 GMC YUKON, THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 5-10 MPH. I CHECK ON THE INTERNET BEFORE SCHEDULING THE REPAIR AND FOUND A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN CALLING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 05V379000. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AND CALLED GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I"M VERY CONFUSED ON HOW I HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE AS STATED IN THE RECALL BUT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ID NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST I MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY GMC FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

ABS HAS CAUSED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. BOTH AT LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED. DURING A STOP FROM 60 MPH TO A STOPPED CONDITION, ABS CAUSED BRAKING TO BE REDUCED FROM ABOUT 45 MPH DOWN. MINOR REAR END COLLISION RESULTED. ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS, ABS HAS RELEASED BRAKING WHEN VEHICLE HAS GONE OVER A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGN #05V379000. WHY HAS THE 99 GMC BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL? DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED - YET. *TR
