Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Inside of rear tires have abnormal wear. I was informed by the tire dealership yesterday that my cooper tires that I put on in march of 2014 have to be replaced. They are bald on the inside. I have driven less 18,000 miles. I have researched this and found that it is an issue for this model. Gm has fixed the problem on police issued models.”
NHTSA complaint #10819666, filed 2016-01, 77,500 miles“Just bought the car 3 weeks ago with brand new tires on them, and now the rear tires are going bald on the inside of the vehicle. Going to dealership on saturday to get new tires that they are paying for on the back, but I don't know why this is happening. Very unsatisfied with GM product, I want in on that lawsuit that is going against GM for this faulty year.”
NHTSA complaint #10565443, filed 2014-02, 49,000 miles“I have had to replace my wheels at least every 6-8 months. The wheels are wearing on the inside in the rear. I have had to have a full alignment done more than once. I researched online and the problem was recognized and fixed but only in police vehicles not in civilian vehicles! I have spent a lot of money on tires and alignments! This is an ongoing issue. Not a one-time issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10749737, filed 2015-08, 50,000 miles“This car is so dangerous due to incredible wear on the tread on nearly new tires. All 4 tires are very worn when the tires have only 10,0000 miles on them. We are slipping and sliding on wet roads. Even though we have had the car aligned -- there is something wrong with this car!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10619457, filed 2014-08, 36,000 miles“Needed 4 new tires & cam bolts on 3 wheels due to excessive wear (down to thread) after only 22,348 miles. I was (at first) told it was because most of my driving was around town & that I made a lot of turns! Tires had been rotated regularly since 2008...dlr. Never mentioned known problem w/camber. (mechanic said he sees all the time for this make/model.) saw that this model was recalled for police dept. Purchasers but not for the rest of us. My last chevy!”
