Description of the problem | I declined preferred tire care plus (2012) 60 months $11. 78/ mo. 7/7/2016 never in my new car purchase did gm ever propose such as plann. They have greater working knowledge of tire manufactures than the public dose, so i hold them responsible for their business practices. Safety has been casted a side for profit. The manufacture continental will not warranty their tires with the purchaser. My vehicle was purchased 7/7/2016 now at 10,200 miles in 10 months with a tire blowout 4/12/2017. Road conditions, clear day temperature 60's 6:50am on a major hwy 141 in earth city mo. The traffic light, clean highway no reason not to see deburi on the road. Vehicle has tire sensor capabilities, never indicated low tire pressure. Indication never happen until after the tire blew. I noticed road noise, so i changed lanes, it did not go away, but now the tie sensor on the dash show the tie indicator. I drove off the hwy to change the tire. It was obvious the tire blew out as a defective tire. How could i cause the inside wall bursting. Elco dealer ship would not warranty the tire based on their denial of a extended warranty i had to purchase a new tire which i now have no faith of being safe for $136. 00. With only 10,200 mile and 10 months old i can not feel safe with this type of performance. I could have lost control and killed others not to mention my self. How can both companies deny knowledge of such a product defect when they propose you buy a extended warranty. Sounds like they have working knowledge of this tires performance not known by the purchaser. Please let me know what can be done about my tires on the entire vehicle. I'm worried about future performance. |
