SAFETY ISSUE WITH 2010 GMC/CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUPS WITH 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE ISSUE INVOLVES DRIVING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TOW/HAUL MODE TURNED ON. IF GOING DOWN A HILL AT 55 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR, ACTUALLY ANY SPEED, BY LAYING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD JUST HARD ENOUGH TO TURN ON BRAKE LIGHTS THESE VEHICLES WILL BEGIN DOWNSHIFTING. THE ONE I OWN WILL GO FROM 5TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS. AT THIS POINT THE TACHOMETER WILL PEG TO THE MAX AND THE REAR TIRES WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS AT THE DEALER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AND THEY RECOMMEND I DON'T USE THE TOW/HAUL MODE. MY VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD ONCE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING AND ACTUALLY WAS COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS AT 50 MPH. *TR

TIRE TREAD IS FALLING APART. HUNKS AND PIECES ARE MISSING FROM TREAD ALL 4 TIRE. THESE ARE GENERAL AMERITRAC TIRE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON MY 2010 CHEVY SILVERADO. DEALER WILL COMP THEM BUT OUR FLEET IS FULL OF THESE TIRES DOING THIS. TIRES LOOK ALMOST LIKE RETREADS. SIZE IS P245/70R17. 13,600 MILES ON THEM. I HAVE POINTED THIS OUT ON MANY VEHICLES WHEREVER I SEE THIS TIRE ESPECIALLY ON A SILVERADO. *TR

BRAKES ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK ARE SPONGY AND DO NOT ADEQUATELY STOP THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR MISS COLLISIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MY VEHICLE HAS 111,000 MILES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS DUE TO ACCELERATED WEAR WITHOUT A SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THIS SHOWS ME THAT THE PRIMARY (LARGER) FRONT BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR
