PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK ON 5/4/07 AND HEARD A LOUD POP, STOPPED VEHICLE AND CHECKED BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME (ABOUT 1/2 MILE) AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM RIGHT FRONT TIRE AREA. PULLED UP TO MY HOME AND THERE WAS A SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT AND MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT. TRIPLE "A" TOW TRUCK FOUND THAT MY RIGHT FRONT STRUT SPRING HAD BROKEN IN A WEAK SPOT AND OBLITERATED MY TIRE. CAR WAS TOWED TO BUCKEYE COLLISION AND I AM WAITING ON A ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE/REPAIR COST. I DON'T KNOW IF BUCKEYE COLLISION IS A CERTIFIED REPAIR PLACE FOR GM BUT I WOULD LIKE GM TO PAY FOR THIS AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

THIS PROBLEM ARISES FROM SOMETHING IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE STRUTS OR WHEEL WELL RUBBING AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE FRONT TIRES AND ABRATING THE THREAD AND STEEL BELTING AWAY UNTIL THE TIRE FAILS. THIS PROBLEM MAY ARISE FROM CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL WELL WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS, AS THE TIRE DID NOT FAIL UNTIL ABOUT 30,000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING, AND AS THE LEFT HAND SIDE FRONT TIRE IS SOMEWHAT LESS ABRATED ROUND THE SAME CIRCUMFERENCE AREA. THIS PROBLEM MADE MY CAR A DEATH TRAP. REPLACING THE TIRES WILL NOT MAKE THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE FOR VERY LONG, IF AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM IS URGENT REGARDING THE SAFETY OF HUGE NUMBER OF OTHER ALERO DRIVERS AND EVERYONE WHO IS AROUND IT IN TRAFFIC. TIME IS OF ESSENCE IN GIVING ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM. MANY LIVES MAY BE AT STAKE. AS THE CLOCK TICKS, IF FEAR WHAT OTHER ALERO...
