When trying to change the spare you must insert a rod and turn to bring the spare down. The rod fails to connect properly as a result you are unable to lower the spare. When roadside assistance was contacted they said there were many instances just like ours. The dealership explained that the spare was tightened too much causing the shaft(which passes directly over the tire) to bend. My husband, daniel r. Noriz, has a 2000chevy silverado z71. His VIN # is 2gcek19t6y329756. His truck had the same problem. We have stopped to help a 2000gmc sierra owner bring his spare down as well. He was not aware of this problem and was having trouble bringing his spare down. My sister-in-law has a 2000 gmc sierra with the same problem.

Truck was fine for first two months then small vibrations. Dealer said two bad tires and changed them (no better). Two weeks later dealer checks tires and says three bad tires . Changed all four (no better). Now dealer wants me to pay for an upgrade to michelins to solve the problem . Why should I have to pay for gm`s cheap tires?

On september 8, 2000, I purchased a new truck from ken dixon of waldorf, md. After a day or so of driving, I noticed the vehicle shimmered. When I took it back to the dealer it had less than 500 miles on it. I was informed that gmc does not allow rebalancing of tires until 500 miles has been reached and was directed to firestone. Firestone balanced the tires, however the shimmering still occurs at highway speed. *ak (dot number: none tiresize: lt2457516)
Tire was kept by simpsonville chevy due to their reimbursement claim, against my request. Spoke to firestone dealer today who told me tires have no problems, and if I want tires replaced I pay, they are not resonsible. Have also rec'd run around from chevrolet, brook lindhart offered reassurance but now I'm not sure, willing to help you in anyway possible including providing accounts by phone tape or testimony. I am tired of being jerked around for something that involves my the safety of my family. No one to date will give me any straight answers. I do also have saved copies of the emails from chevrolet. *ak (dot number: urbm053240 tiresize: 245r7516)
Tread has begun to separate from tire caseing. Hairline split is now visable where tread is bonded to tire cassing. Other tires still not affected. Dealer, and chevrolet refuse to replace. Say this tire not affected by defect. Gm claims there tires made to higher standard. Then those for ford. I have small children, and feaar for there saftey in the vehicle. Please order a recall of these tires.*ak (dot number: bmo 5324-1 tiresize: lt245/16)

On august 25, going to work from a late lunch, I experienced a blowout on the right front tire. When the tire blew in threwmy truck into a large curb ruining the bumber,right front corner panel, parts of the door as well as suspension bendage, and ruining both wheels. Between me and my insurance company it cost almost 3000.00 to fix., besides me having to make a claim which wll probably raise my insurance rates. 2 weeks later the news came out that 16" general tires were being recalled because of this problem on the lincoln navigators. I am interested if there have been any other of these tires recalled, because of not only the money im out of pocket, but the depreciation it caused my truck(not to mention I could have been injured severely because of this blowout. Please advise me, meantime I will contact my insurance company and my lawyer. Thanks. Jmk. *ak( dot number: tire size: 255/70/r16 )
Tire caused vehicle to vibrate real bad at high speeds 55-75 MPH, dealer checked and said the tire was seperated or out of round, tire replaced by dealer, I do not feel real safe driving on these tires since the similar tires were recalled in a different size. Sincerely, steven dieck( dot number: tire size: 265/75/r16 )
Tires are wearing prematurely in center. Dealer says truck is not out of alignment, it is the tires. Firestone says they are not part of the recall. They look like they have been spun, but this is not the case. They will not last 20,000 miles. They look like the rims may be too narrow to me.( dot number: tire size: p26575r16 )
Two of the four tires have tread separation. Tires have been replaced.( dot number: 2319 tire size: p265/75r16 )
Tire blew on a very flat new road. The temp was around 98 and it was very humid. There is a five inch tear on the inside of the tire, perpendicular to the tread. *ak( dot number: tire size: p265/75r16 )
On july 6, 2000 on a 5 mile trip to town, I picked up a small screw in the left rear tire, about half way across the tread band. I heard the air leak as I left the vehicle, and I immediately took it 2 blocks to a tire store to be repaired before it went flat. The tire shop said it couldn't be repaired, as a sidewall bulge had formed from an internal delamination in the tread area leaking into the side wall area, and that it was unsafe to use. I relaced that tire at that time. On september 5, the left front tire was found flat in my garage. For the last month or so, I have noticed a cyclic "growling" noise, tied to the wheel rotational speed of the vehicle, that was similar to the sound a failing wheel bearing makes, but an inspection of the bearings found them in good condition. After replacing this second tire, the noise went away. The tire store advised me that a partial internal tread seperation can make the kind of cyclic noise I was hearing. I have put 25,000 miles on the truck in 6 months, with several high speed trips across nevada and utah, and two trips to mexico via the mojave desert, plus numerous freeway trips through the california central valley this summer. Although neither tire failed at speed or suffered a tread loss, the fact that 2 of them have had internal lamination problems concerns me greatly. I am no longer confident of their safety. Please advise me if other consumers have reported problems with this model and size, and if the federal safety agency is considering expaning the recall to this model, as other parties have already requested.( dot number: w273 wma tire size: p265-75r16 )
Tire blew out while traveling 55 MPH. The damage to the tire was right where the tread and sidewall meet. When I took the tire to a firestone dealer I was told that it appeared to be a "zipper problem". After the firestone warranty dept. Was called I was then told that they couldn't tell why the tire had failed because I had obviously driven on it while it was flat. I informed them that it is hard to come to a complete stop from 55 MPH., and that I had to drive aprx. A tenth of a mile to where I could safely pull off of the road. I was offered a replacement tire at either at 1/2 off or at dealer's cost I don't remember. The replacement also has the "vd" designation.( dot number: vd11b1c tire size: lt24575r16 )
