“The vehicle is less then 2 years old with 31748 miles. All 4 goodyear fortera hl tires were showing visible cracking and dry rotting in between the treats & on sidewalls.there was a recall on these tires in 2015 but we were told our tires don't qualify for replacement. We had the tires replaced with an out of pocket expense of $411. Gm refused to help us in anyway although this is considered a safety issue because the sidewall could blow out. I am aware of others that have had the same issue and we're also refused help by GM.”
