GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

FAILURE BY GENERAL MOTORS TO DISCLOSE THAT THE OEM TIRES DELIVERED WITH A NEW 32013 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ARE UNSAFE IF USED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 42 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECTIVE CONDITION AFTER BEING PUT ON NOTICE AND REQUESTS FOR SAFE TIRES IGNORED. I KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN AVOID THE DANGER. YOU MUST RECALL ALL THESE CARS BECAUSE NOT ALL OWNERS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM (I STUMBLED UPON IT BY ACCIDENT--IT IS DISCLOSED NO WHERE IS ANY SALES LITERATURE OR THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR THE CAR OR ANYWHERE ELSE THAT I AM AWARE OF AND I HAVE LOOKED AND ASKED CHEVROLET AND THEY IGNORED MY QUESTION) AND THEY TAKE THEIR LIVES AND THOSE OF INNOCENT BYSTANDERS IN THEIR HANDS IF THEY USE THE CAR BELOW 42 DEGREES F. WHERE I LIVE THAT IS 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I HAVE EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHEVROLET IN WHICH THEY ADMIT THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT SO I AM OUT OF LUCK AND INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED AND GM COULD CARE LESS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THIS CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU, AND ENCOURAGE IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTE UNMITIGATED ARROGANCE ION GM'S PART AND SHOWS A CALLOUS AND WILLFUL DISREGARD FOR THE LIVES OF THEIR INNOCENT PURCHASERS AND BYSTANDERS AND MUST BE STOPPED. *TR
