2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Tires Problems

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE ON THIS SUBURBAN. MOST RECENTLY THE TWO ABOVE. I CHECKED THE WARRANTY WORK THAT WAS DONE ON MY SUBURBAN AND IT WAS OVER A PAGE OF CLAIMS. I JUST CANNOT REMEMBER THE DATES THE ITEMS I CHECKED OCCURED. THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WAS LONG IN THE COMING, THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I SPENT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS LEFT US STRANDED 3 TIMES! THIS LAST TIME COST ME $765. TODAY, THE ABS SYTEM DIED. THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO A $1000 TO REPAIR. I PURCHASED THE SUBURBAN BECAUSE IT WAS SAFE TO CARRY MY WIFE AND 7 KIDS. SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN STUCK ON THE ROAD, LOST VACATION TIME AND JUST CAN'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE. NOW I DON'T HAVE BRAKES. THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT. KENT DOLD

RE 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 4X4. VEHICLE HAS STEERING DIFFICULTIES (VEHICLE CAN COMPLETELY CHANGE LANES WITHIN 2 LINES ON THE ROAD, LOOSE STEERING AT TIMES, STEERING WHEEL JUMPS WHEN TURNING CURVES) WHICH WERE REPORTED TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER BLAMED TIRES WHICH WERE NOT RECALLED. THE JUMP/POP IN STEERING WHEN ROUNDING CURVES WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION UPON CONSTRUCTION OF VEHICLE-SOMEWHAT IMPROVED. STEERING COLUMN STILL MOVES (FEELS LOOSE AT TIMES) AND FEELS AS THOUGH WILL DISCONNECT OR TIRE ROD WILL BREAK WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. AT 43,000 MILES FRONT END DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPAIRED, JUST OVER EVERY 20,000 MILES BRAKE DISC SEEMS TO NEED REPLACED. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO COMPLETELY INTO PARK OR GEAR AND SOMETIMES POPS OUT (THOUGHT TO NEED LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT, BUT VEHICLE HAS CABLE SO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO REPAIR PERSON). SOMETIMES (FAIRLY FREQUENTLY) SEAT BELTS STILL DO NOT COMPLETELY BUCKLE,...

THE REAR RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT.*JB

P265/70R16, DOT UNKNOWN, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 2000, CHEVROLET, SUBURBAN WITH 4000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING 15-20 MPH REAR LEFT TIRE EXPLODED, NO INJURIES.*AK FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AND PREAGNANT WIFE WE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 80MPH, I HEARD A REPEATING THUD WHICH SOUNDED LIKE THE THUD PRODUCED WHEN DRIVING OVER EXPANSION JOINTS, HOWEVER, I NOTICED IT WAS LOUDER THAN TYPICAL AND DIDN'T COINCIDE WITH EXPENATION JOINT TIMING. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN BY COASTING. ALL THIS TRANSPIRED IN ABOUT 4 TO 10 SECONDS. THEN BANG, WE HEAR A LOUD NOISE, AND OUR VEHICLE REAR DROPS. I LOOKED BEHIND ME AND I SEE TREAD AND PEICES OF TIRE FLYING EVERYWHERE. I COASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS, NOT WANTING TO UPSET THE BALANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. WE STOPPED. THE ONLY THING LEFT ON THE RIM WERE THE TWO SIDE WALLS. THERE WASN'T ANY TREAD LEFT. I HAVE SINCE RETRIVED THE TREAD....

ELECTRICAL- POWER WINDOWS INOPERABLE FOR THE FIRST 8 MONTHS THAT WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, INVOLVED 5 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BODY DESIGN? PROBLEM - TIRES DID NOT CLEAR VEHICLE BODY WITHOUT RUBBING, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DEALER KEEPS RECOMMENDING US TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES WHEN EVER THEY SERVICE OUR VEHICLE. BRAKES - POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A KINK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE. I NEED TO SUGGEST TO DEALER THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS FOR A PROBLEM THAT WERE HAVING WITH A NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN YOU PRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER RECOMMENDS THAT WE BUY 4 NEW TIRES, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DIAGNOSES IS THAT WE ALSO HEAR THE NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING! I WONDER IF THEY READ THEIR TSB'S*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE...

AS I WAS DRIVING, I HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM OUTSIDE AND COULD FEEL ROUGHNESS IN THE RIDE AND THE STEERING. I PULLED OVER WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO FIND THAT MY TIRE WAS 80 % FLAT. UPON REPLACING THE TIRE I SAW THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE OR NAILS TO THE TIRE. A FEW MINUTES LATER AFTER I HAD PUT MY SPARE TIRE ON, I STOPPED AND INFLATED THE FLAT TIRE TO SEE WHERE THE DAMAGE MIGHT BE. AFTER INFLATING TO ABOUT 10 PSI I STOPPED BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE OUTSIDE EDGE(NEAR TREAD) HAD A VERY SOFT SPOT THAT I COULD HAVE PROBABLY PUSHED MY FINGER THROUGH. IT WAS ALMOST AS SOFT AND THIN AS A INNER TUBE. THEN I ALSO NOTICED SEVERAL LUMPS ABOUT 1 TO1 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER ALMOST ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE CASING NEAR THE OUTER EDGE. THIS...
