Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 15,593 MILES AND 2 OF THE CONTINENTAL TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED. VEHICLE LEASED NEW IN JUNE, 2016. BOTH CONTINENTAL AND GM CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AND HAVE DISREGARDED MY CONCERN. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BY THE CHEV DEALER AT MY EXPENSE WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. I STILL HAVE 2 CONTINENTAL TIRES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE 22 MONTHS REMAINING ON MY LEASE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. GM AND CONTINENTAL HAVE A BIG PROBLEM THEY ARE IGNORING. I HAVE WRITTEN TO GM'S CEO MARY BARRA, WHO PASSED MY CONCERN TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE, BUT NOT THE SAFETY FOLKS AT GM.
