Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Valve stem of tire pressure sensor broke causing the left, rear tire to go flat. It broke while I was attempting to remove the valve stem cap so that I could check my tire presure. If the failure would have occured while the vehicle was in motion, it may have LED to an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10165421, filed 2006-08, 63,956 miles“I was driving my vehicle and had a flat tire. I could not get my spare tire to come down as it was seized under th back of the vehicle. I had a repair shop fix it and they advised me this is common on all general motor vehicles that salt get inside them and rusts out the spare tire hoist unit making it impossible to get the tire down. I am concerned as it could have happened to my wife and kids on a cold night. After looking online this is a major problem that most people do not realize until they get stranded with a flat tire.”
NHTSA complaint #10307534, filed 2010-02, 110,000 miles“The bridgestone dueler h/t tires have been known to have wear (vibration) issues, due to the tires being a softer tire, according to many Chevrolet and gmc service managers that I have called. I received two tires, balancing/rotation free, but I had to buy two as well. I feel since GM dealerships know about this issue, they should send out a recall. I have had my tires balanced and rotated many times (about every 3,000 miles), but the owners manual states every 5000 - 8000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10163299, filed 2006-07, 35,695 miles“We had to change a rear driver side tire because we needed to add air to the tire and the sensor control was broken. We took the tire off and replaced it with the spare. When retrieving the spare we had a very difficult time getting it off the spare tire holder winch. After struggling with the spare tire for 30 minutes we got it released and when we tried to hoist the winch back up, it would not go up. We tried repeatedly for another 30 minutes without any success. We had to remove the entire tire winch holder part so it wouldn't hang down while driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #10371824, filed 2010-12, 111,425 miles“While driving at about 45 the tire went flat. The tire had several cracks around the shoulder and appears several were getting ready to chunk off. A couple appear to go all the way through the tire causing the air loss.”
