2012 Chevrolet Cruze Tires Problems

“I have a 2012 chevy cruz with a tire that keeps losing pressure. The chevy garage told me that it has several micro holes and recommended replacement at $250/tire and that I needed to buy 2 (because you can't just replace one). I asked the technician how this can happen and he said it's nothing I did and that michelin tires are known to have flaws such as this but no recall on my tires yet. Dot: b9mt 003x 0912 (p225 45r18) 91w (michelin pilot hx mxm4) (134388m) . Very frustrated as this is a new car.”

“I took my vehicle in complaining of a strange noise, almost like a pop when braking. When the dealership looked at it they told me it was the struts. They stated they were waiting on a recall from Chevrolet and that I should just continue to keep calling and checking on it. I called them each month since. Each time they assured me it would not affect my vehicle at all and that it would be fine. Obviously, a strut is a part of the car, it must be needed to function or it would not be on there. …”

“I bought a 2012 chevy Cruze eco that has 4 goodyear assurance fuel max tires on july 12, 2013. I was driving back home from my parents house approximatley 30 miles away. I got about 4 miles out of town and my low tire pressure light came on. I checked the tire pressure screen on the dash and I was slowly losing tire pressure. I made it back home with 6 PSI of air in my tire. (it is supposed to have 35 PSI.) I got home and looked at the tire and it has about a 3/4 crack on the outside wall of the tire. I put air back in it and it deflated again pretty quick.”

“My 2012 chevy Cruze suddenly developed vibration in the front end as well as pulling to the right. Pulled over to inspect it and found a large bulge in the sidewall on the front passenger side tire. I drove it to discount tire where they said it was not safe to drive and it needed to be replaced. They wont get into any warranty/defect issues they referred me to the chevy dealer for that. I did have them put the old tire in the trunk. When I got home I pulled it out to look at it and on the inside of the tire right where the bulge is the tire is cracked on the inside. Ugh! …”

“When entering a curve vehicle shakes after about a hour of driving dealer could not duplicate so I took it to a friend of mine who is a race car mechanic for 30 years and he showed me the issue the tires they put on the chevy Cruze the 215-60-16 firestone fr710 is a s speed rated tire this should be a t or a h speed rated the Cruze will exceed the 112mph the tires are rated for and this could cause them to bust I actually had one pop off the rim and deflate this low grade of tire is not made for curvy roads which is what is causing the bumping people are experiencing during cornering.”
