NHTSA Complaint #733058 — 1994 GMC SUBURBAN

EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED, IT ONLY HAD 245 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME & WAS PURCHASED FROM A GM DEALER. OF THE 4 ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE GROUND, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE TWO BECAUSE OF IRREGULAR WEAR & THE INABILITY TO BALANCE OR ELIMINATE VIBRATIONS FROM THE TIRES. SUCH WEAR PATTERNS ARE USUALLY INDICATIVE OF SEPARATED OR BROKEN BELTS. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THEY OFFERED NO ADJUSTMENT. NOW THE LAST TWO OF THE ORIGINAL 4 TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE ARE EXHIBITING THE SAME TYPES OF WEAR PATTERNS. ONE OF THE FAILED TIRES WAS TURNED INTO THE DEALER A YEAR OR SO AGO WHEN I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE. I'M STILL USING ONE OF THE FAILED TIRES AS A SPARE, SO I HAVE 3 OF THE ORIGINAL 4 TIRES.
