2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HD Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH DOWN HILL ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS CARRYING A LOAD SUCH AS A TRAVEL TRAILER IN ONE CASE AND A HORSE TRAILER ON ANOTHER, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND ON EACH VISIT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED.

I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET EXTENDED CAB SILVERADO TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AGO. TODAY MY BRIDGESTONE V-STEEL RLB265 RADIAL LT245/75R16 LOAD RANGE E MTS 120/116S TIRE BLEW OUT. THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE (ABOUT THE 'E' IN THE WORD BRIDGESTONE. THERE WAS NO FOREIGN OBJECT - IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A WEAKNESS IN THE TIRE WALL. I ALMOST CAREENED INTO ANOTHER CAR - SINCE I WAS JUST BEGINNING TO MERGE ON FROM ONE EXPRESS WAY TO THE OTHER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS & NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE IS EITHER INJURED OR KILLED. IS THIS GOING TO KEEP OCCURRING WITH THESE TIRES? IF SO, I WANT ALL 4 REPLACED WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT. *JB
