Consumer Description

MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE SUDDENLY DEVELOPED VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AS WELL AS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. PULLED OVER TO INSPECT IT AND FOUND A LARGE BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I DROVE IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY WONT GET INTO ANY WARRANTY/DEFECT ISSUES THEY REFERRED ME TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR THAT. I DID HAVE THEM PUT THE OLD TIRE IN THE TRUNK. WHEN I GOT HOME I PULLED IT OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE RIGHT WHERE THE BULGE IS THE TIRE IS CRACKED ON THE INSIDE. UGH! I CALLED CONTINENTAL AND THEY SAID I NEED TO TAKE THE CAR TO CHEVY AND HAVE THEM INSPECT THEM AND THEY WILL CONTACT CONTINENTAL TO SEE IF THEY ARE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE. *TR
