NHTSA Complaint #10462968 — 2010 GMC TERRAIN

DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT SIDEWALL ON MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRE P 235/55R18 X GREEN 99T M+S TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED ONLY ONE TIRE. I BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN 2010 NOW HAS 16,800 MILES ON IT. TIRES WERE NEVER "OVERLOADED" OR DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIRE PRESSURE IN IT AND WERE ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY DEALERSHIP. (VEHICLE ALSO HAS TPMS AND I RECEIVE ON STAR MAINTENANCE CHECK UPS MONTHLY. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLE BRANDS EQUIPT WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TIRES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS ON ONGOING PROBLEM? HOPEFULLY NOBODY WILL DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE IN LINE OF RECALL? HOW CAN I FEEL SAVE KNOWING THAT THIS TIRES ARE WEEK IN THE SIDEWALLS DUE TO DEFECT AND NOT DUE TO OUTER IMPACT? MANY PEOPLE STATED THEY ARE AFRAID OF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATES OR LONG DISTANCE DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAD BLOWOUTS, ETC. I REQUEST AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. *TR
