My family recently purchased 4 new tires michelin energy saver a/s 265/65/18. The tires were purchased in november. With the tires being under 6 months old we have already experienced the following issues. 4 separate flat tires. Which I gave michelin the benefit of the doubt that its not completely there fault for nails / screws being in roadways. But common 4 flats in a matter of a few months with only 4k miles being put on the vehicle since tires installed. Finally what completely got me was the side wall developed a 3 inch split. Im just glad I noticed it before my wife and kids were driving the vehicle down the highway and had a blowout on the steer tires. After looking at reviews online im not the only person that having issue with these tires. There are multiple complaints about sidewall blowouts and these tires being magnets for screws and nails. Also many reviews about premature dry rot. (I cant wait for them to develop this issue as its more than likely coming). Terrible tires. Dont recommend these for anyone. I dont want to see anyone hurt or injured due to this poorly engineered tire.

Car purchased february 2019 brand new. When seat cooling, the back of the driver and passenger seats heat up in all cooling modes from high to low. Return vents on back side of driver/passenger seats blow out very hot air providing safety concern if touched by passenger. Infrared therm. Personally purchased and recorded a log of seat temps for over a month. Return vents on back of both seats reached a maximum of 132fon drivers side and 129f on passenger. On average, infrared therm. Showed driver/ passenger back of seats measuring avg 92-96 degrees f. On ocassion cooling seats work with no issue but usually occurs 15 minutes into driving with cool on. When seat cooling turned off, seats/vents cool off. When turned back on seats/vents heat up. Car serviced by dealership three times for this problem. After notifying gm customer relations with certified letter, a gm service engineer was sent to assess my car issues on the third time. Per invoice 10644 9/24/19, gm service engineer confirmed there was air being trapped in foam of back seat causing return air vents to heat up. He measured the back seats to heat to 81f after two test runs only with a digital thermometer. His correction is removal of open celled foam in back of driver and passenger seats and repositioned then removed hot air exhaust ports on lf/rf seat back coolers. Notes cooling seats operate as designed. I am not comfortable with removal of manufacturers design parts for functioning of car. Have confirmed other cadillac SUV owners have heating issues with return vents in a 2016 SUV serviced by same dealership and problem still occurs. Also, 2019 escalade esv loaner provided to me exhibits exact same issues as those reported in my car with heat in back of seats and return vents during cooling seats activated.

Tires losing air due to poor chroming process, aka paint on rims, fake chrome paint is peeling off on inside of rims, (since gm doesn't like to rustcoat any of their parts to save a couple $) causing tires not to seal to rim, as well valve stem hole is no longer round due to flaking paint and air is escaping here as well. This could lead to tire blowouts and probably has, and was probably blamed on the tire or road hazards that weren't there.

I have contacted gm and cadillac and they only think their parts should last as long as extra warranty you pay for. So 3 years. After that, all parts are ok to fail in their eyes.
