2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

KUMHO TYRES ON MY CHEVY SILVERADO DEVELOPED SIDEWALL SPLITS DUE TO DRY ROT. TYRES ARE ONLY 1 YEAR OLD AND HAVE 26,000 MILES ON THEM. THEY DID NOT WANT THE DOT NUMBERS. CONTACTED KUMHO AND THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T CONCERNED. MY AUTO SHOP SAID THE TYRES WERE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND REPLACED THEM. THE INDIFFERENCE AND RUDENESS OF THE KUMHO CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON CHARLES AND HIS SUPERVISOR WAS APPALLING. ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN THAT THIS COULD CREATE A POTENTIALLY FATAL TYRE FAILURE. VERY DISTURBING AND QUITE A SURPRISE. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHEN DECELERATING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLES DECELERATION TO DECREASE, THUS INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE, RESULTING IN A NEAR COLLISION. THE VEHICLE NOW DOES THIS CONSISTENTLY DURING EVERY STOP ONCE THE VEHICLES SPEED DROPS BELLOW 10 MPH. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS EVEN MORE ALARMING. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IDENTICAL TO THAT IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000. IF THERE IS AN PROBLEM WITH SPEED SENSING (AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000), THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETECT INCONSISTENT SENSOR READINGS AND RENDER THE ABS SYSTEM INTO A PASSIVE MODE AS A FAIL SAFE MEASURE. *TR
