Had car alignment repaired by moving and redrilling holes for rear struts. Also had to replace my second set of tires. This was all at my expense because GM would not acknowledge manufacturing defect. I had serious hydroplaning just prior to this. In fact it was the hydroplaning that caused me to visit the dealer. Now some 7 months later the same problem continues and I have worn out the inside tread of 2 new rear tires.”
