2000 Chevrolet Malibu tires problems

Filed May 6, 2020 · Tires · UT

I wanted to let you know about an experience at discount tire 580 w telegraph washington utah. And you can forward this to any regulating agency.from my knowledge, when two tires are purchased new, it is required to mount them on the front of the vehicle if it is front wheel drive. And move the lower tread tires to the back.while at this location, the person running the shop stated they are not allowed to touch tires or rotate them if they have low tread.and they mounted the two new ones on opposite corners (front driver and rear passenger). And tried to sell 2 additional tires.this is against the law. I want this business reviewed for their license.

My 2000 chevrolet malibu had 37,500 miles on it when I noticed that the firestone affinity p21560r15 tires were cracking. The deep grooves between the treads had cracks and the shoulder of the tire had a web of cracks. There was still a lot of tread left on the tires. I have never seen this occur on any tires I have owned in my 40 years of driving. One local tire store advised me that this problem is common in affinity tires because firestone doesn't put enough moisture into the compound thereby shortening the life of the tire.

Front/rear suspension-squawking noise -gm well aware of this issue hazard lights - have gone out twice. Fuel integrity - erratic fuel reading - shows 1/4 tank - when in reality there is no gas. I have ran out of gas approximately 7 times - several times late at night. No cruise control - gm would not repair. Brakes pads/rotors - have replaced 3 times. My local dealer rotolo chevrolet and gm customer service would do nothing. It was expensive. Premature tire wear - two sets of tires. Cars runs hot - would never go on a trip - because it would get too near overheating. I was afraid of getting stranded in the middle of the desert. Engine ticking noise - local dealer said this was normal. Now, I find none of these things were normal and many, many more car owners have experienced the same type of problems. Also, I had a battery that exploded while car was under warranty. It was my problem. Dealership would not replace battery. I finally had enough and turned this automobile back to gmac. Is it going to take people getting killed to make gm responsible for these issues with the 2000 malibu. All of these problems were reported to the dealer, but since nothing could be duplicated, even though gm was aware of these issues, they would do nothing. After the car was out of warranty, the dealership was more than willing to correct these issues. The problem I have is the deception.....gm is aware of these issues and have been for some time. Someone needs to hold then accountable.
