NHTSA Complaint #11150224 — 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPUTER SYSTEM TOLD ME I HAD LOW AIR PRESSURE IN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND PUT AIR IN MY TIRE. AFTER EACH FILL I RECHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THROUGH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT CONTINUES TO DROP IN NUMBER. I SPENT AROUND 20 MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT DIDN'T LOOK FLAT BUT MY VEHICLE WAS RECORDING IT WAS. I DECIDED IT MUST BE A COMPUTER ERROR AND PROCEEDED TO FILL MY OTHER TIRES AND VACUUM MY CAR. I PULLED OFF AND SOMETHING TOLD ME TO ASK THE GENTLEMAN GETTING GAS IF MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE LOOKED FLAT, HE SAID, 'NO, IT'S YOUR BACK RIGHT TIRE, I CAN HEAR THE AIR ESCAPING' SURE ENOUGH I COULD HEAR IT TO, AND COULD SEE A LARGE CRACK IN THE TIRE. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE HOME BUT IT GOT TO LOW AND HAD TO PULL OVER. SO MY COMPUTER SYSTEM IN MY NEW USED CAR WARNED ME ME ABOUT A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE AND PULLED MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM A TIRE THAT HAD A HOLE IN IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND COMPENSATE ME FOR HAVING TO SIT IN A BIG LOTS PARKING LOT FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN HOME WAITING IN MY LIVING ROOM HAD I NOT WASTED SO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME FILLING A TIRE THAT WAS PERFECTLY FINE.
