2001 Chevrolet Silverado tires complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 56 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving, seat belt becomes very tight, giving a feeling of clostraphobia. Took vehicle to dealer.*ak consumer stated tires vibrated at a speed of 45-50, consumer was informed that the tires were out of round, also when the vehicle is driven for awhile, it seems to miss speeds, when making hard turns in either direction, there is a whining noise coming from the steering, and in cool weather the steering is hard to turn, also the service engine soon light illuminated and the vehicle would stall while driving.
My wife took my truck to work. At the end of the day she drove about a half mile and stopped at a stop sign. While waiting for traffic she heard a pop. When she took off the tire was flat. The sidewall blew out. There is a blowout from the rim to the pavement.
While driving down the highway, consumer ran over a small nail, consumer stated the puncture was extremely small that should not have ruined the tire beyond repair, consumer stated on the second occasion a chunk of the tire came off, as consumer was driving no more than 43 MPH, and once again the tire was damaged beyond repair, consumer feels that tires should not be ruined under such small circumstances.(no tire info given)
Experience vibration between 40 and 70 MPH, feels as though tires are skipping on road surface. Driver input is limited by the response of tires. All 5 tires were replaced, experiencing same condition again at 4,000 miles. Have returned to dealer regarding same problem, and am going tor return once more as problem was not corrected. My father has a 2001 gmc sierra with the same problem, same size and model tires have been replaced 2 times, awaits third replacement. Coworker has 2002 silverado, same tires same problem. Both additional vehicles have under 5,000 miles. *ak (tiresize: 255/70/r16)

Several goodyear tires went flat
We are experiencing exessive trembling of the steering wheel and shaking of both outside mirrors. Truck has been taken to 3 different dealerships with no solution to the problems. The last dealership near our home has replaced both front tires, and during our last visit (12/03/01) they replaced all 4 tires!! Please help, as we are afraid to drive the truck with our 2 kids in the back seat!!
Recall- tire placard- present placard and new placard do not match tires that are supposed to be spec tires for vehicle- original tires on vehicle- placards wrong or tires and tire specs listed for vehicle are wrong- no help from gm garage.
A brand new truck>>back at dealer a vibration in the body of truck at 38-42 MPH >>639 miles on tires>>two tires out of round, dealer replaced 2 tires. Problem still there>> tires at 7420 rotated and balanced>>problem still present>>> back to a dealer at 9,705 miles>>tires re-balanced>> problem still present>>taken to a firestone dealer at 11,366 miles>> they had to re-balance all four tires>>>>problem still present. These tires will not stay balanced, this truck has never been taked off road or abused for the tires to keep doing this.*ak (dot number: w273 tiresize: p265/75r16)
Tires "cupped" before 8000 mile rotation, transmission- feels like clutch is slipping, has times in nuetral from a stop then slams into gear... Motor sounds like a diesel at start up quiets some, yet all this is suppose to be "normal". *ak (tiresize: 235/75/r16)
Both front tires are wearing and dealer says there is nothing wrong, and will not repair front end.
Tire failure. *ak (dot number: ? Tiresize: ?)
Was traveling 45mph on the highway entering onto a ramp andtire went flat. Was able to pull vehicle over to the shoulders, and noticed that passenger rear tire tread separated from tire. Goodyear, wrangler #st, p23575 r16 . Dealership was aware of problem.
The tire size is lt245/75r16. There wasn't enough room to fit it all in the space provided. After changing the tire, I found that a lug in the tread was torn from the tire with a one inch tear. It was not a straight line, and it followed the contour of the side of the lug. This told me that nothing punctured the tire. I haven't contacted firestone yet. I have the tire and don't want to give it up. I have been displeased with having these tires on my truck, but the dealer wouldn't replace them. Now I've had a failure and I know you have been investigating these tires, and I want to add my name to the list of people with problems, with the hope that I can get all five of my tires replaced. I also am hoping that something can be done that will keep people from getting hurt by these tires. Thank you for your time. David c. Bray. *ak (dot number: vn11bad160 tiresize: lt24575r16)
