THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSTABLE DURING CROSSWINDS WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWAY LEFT OR RIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY. *NLM THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE WAS FOUND TO BE 4-5 P/SI LOWER THAN THE DESIGN VALVE. THE PRESSURE WAS INCREASED TO THE PROPER VALVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HANDLING AND THE STEERING RESPONSE BACK TO A STABLE CONDITION. *SC
2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE WITH "Z66" PACKAGE SPARE TIRE IS A 16 INCH TIRE. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH 17 INCH TIRES. SALES LITERATURE INDICATES THAT THE "Z66" PACKAGE UPGRADES ALL WHEELS 17 INCH WHEELS. DESPITE MANUFACTURE AND DEALERS CLAIMS THE VEHICLE HANDLING IS VERY ERRATIC WITH 16 INCH SPARE INSTALLED. DEALER STATED SPARE IS FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. THIS IS NO CONSOLATION WHEN THE NEXT EXIT ON THE HIGHWAY IS 40+ MILES AWAY. MANUFACTURE AND DEALER BOTH STATE THAT THE TSB RELEASED RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, CONSUMERS ARE NOT PROVIDED TSB'S IN THE SHOW ROOM. PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHEN PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. WHILE REPAIRING FLAT TIRE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ORIGINAL TIRE WAS OUT OF ROUND AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED EVEN WITH OVER 5 OZ OF WEIGHT ON TIRE. REPLACED TIRE WITH BRAND NEW TIRE WHICH REQUIRED 3.5 OZ WEIGHT TO BALANCE INDICATING BAD RIM....
THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS MISALIGNED.*AK PH *JB
