Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front tires rub fender wells and sway bay. Empty or loaded, more so when loaded. They rub the sway bar so bad that I cannot run a heavy lug tire. A heavy lug tire causes wheel lockup when steering is at full lock. This condition could result in loss of control and a crash. Gm dealer has said that nothing else can be done and that I need to live with it, just to be careful when running a lug tire.”
