CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED THERE WERE BULGES IN THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TWO FRONT TIRES, CONSUMER STATES HE DISMISSED IT THINKING IT WAS NORMAL, WHEN VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR TIRE ROTATION, MECHANIC ADVISED CONSUMER THAT BULGES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER, CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT TIRES WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, CONSUMER THEN TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE TIRES INSPECTED AND WAS ADVISED THAT MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY 50 PERCENT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON THAT MANUFACTURER WOULD ONLY PAY 50 PERCENT IS BECAUSE THERE WERE SIGNS OF TREAD WEAR AND THE VEHICLE HISTORY DUE TO CONSUMER MOVES AROUND A LOT, AS WELL AS CURB DAMAGE. *JB

TWO OF THE FOUR TIRES WERE SHOWING TREAD SEPARATION. METAL WAS SHOWING ON INSIDE OF TIRES. ALL TIRES WERE SHOWING WEAR AND TEAR. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6T4 TIRESIZE: P225/55R16)

I PURCHASED THE TIRES IN FEBRUARY OF 2001, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THEM, I WENT OVER A SMALL CURB IN THE SNOW. BOTH FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT AT THE SIDEWALLS. I E-MAILED GOODYEAR AND TOLD THEM OF MY PROBLEM.THEY RESPONDED BY REPLACING TIRES AND CHARGING ME FOR THE LABOR. MAY 15, 2001, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH. WHEN MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT AT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL FORCING THE TRUCK TO PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT AND OFF THE ROAD. MY RIGHT SHOULDER WAS INJURED DUE TO THIS INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES HAVE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE SOME KIND OF INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WE PURCHASED A 99 ESCALADE CADILLAC UNDER A MISLEADING ASSUMPTION OF CONDITION OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY HAD SEVERE VIBRATION IN STEERING AND SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 60 - 85 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE GM DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS. 12+ SETS OF TIRES WERE REPLACED IN JUST ONE DAY. THERE FINAL STATEMENT WAS THAT ALL THE GOODYEAR TIRES DESIGNED FOR THIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALIGN UP. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE BODY ELECTRICAL WAS REPAIRED. THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL WAS REPAIRED. DOOR PANELS (LEFT & RIGHT) WERE REPLACED. THE FORWARD SEATS, CONSOLE & DASH WAS REPLACED. BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND ARE CURRENTLY BAD. MAJOR VIBRATION AND SHAKING FROM DAY ONE MAY, 1, 2001. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES DURING HIGH RATE OF SPEEDS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS UNSAFE. GMC HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY OUR ATTOURNEYS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MS NADINE WILLIAMS, GM ATTOURNEY. THE CBBB HAS FILED 2 CASES AGAINST GM RESULTING WITH STILL NO ANSWERS OR FAIR SETTLEMENTS. THE BRAKES, TIRES, SUSPENSION AND UNKNOWN PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERS AGAIN BEING REPAIRED FOR BRAKES, ROTORS, VIBRATION, TIRES AND ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHAT DO WE DO??? WE HAVE NO HELP BUT ARE STILL DRIVING A VERY DANGEROUS TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE. WE HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL VEHICLES FROM GM OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. GM WILL NOT AND CANNOT REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. BREACH OF WARRANTY. WE ARE CURRENTLY FILING SUIT AGAINST FENDER CADILLAC AND GENERAL MOTORS. PLEASE RESPOND. PLEASE HELP. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE, MY DAUGHTER, MY SON AND MYSELF. THANK YOU. SINCERELY AT AUGH. FRANCIS GAY. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
