What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1992 Chevrolet Chevrolet Truck, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

AT 20,000 MILES RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT AT 70 MPH; AT 40,000 MILES THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A TREAD SEPARATION DUE TO VIBRATION AT 70 MPH. CONSUMER INSPECTED THE TIRES. DUNLOP NOTIFIED AND REPLACED 1ST TIRE AT CONSUMER'S COST, AND THE 2ND WAS AT A PRORATE. TIRES WERE MOUNTED ON A 1992 CHEVROLET, CHEYENNE; AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AT 45,000 MILES, P275/60R15, AND DOT# UNAVAILABLE. *AK
TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT 4 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES FROM THE SEARS STORE IN HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS, AND THEY MOUNTED THEM ON THE TRUCK. I KEPT THE SAME AIR PRESSURE THAT THEY PUT IN AT ALL TIMES. THEY ALL FAILED ONE AT A TIME AFTER ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IGOT EVERY EXCUSE UNDER THE SUN ABOUT IT BEING MY FAULT, I CALLED THE SEARS COMPLAINT NUMBER, AND THEY PUT IT DOWN IN THEIR COMPUTER, YOU MIGHT CAN GET MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TIRES FROM THAT. I ALSO TALKED TO A MIKE SMITH AT THE FIRESTONE STORE IN HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS, AND HE SAID IT WAS TIRE FAILURE FROM THE STELL BELTING SEPERATING, BUT THAT SEARS WOULD HAVE TO WARRANT THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WAS MADE SPECIFIC FOR SEARS. THESE TIRES LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD CUT THEM WITH A KNIVE FOR ABOUT 2 INCHES IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD THEN THEY JUST HULED OFF THE INNER CORE. NO WARNING WHEN THEY WOULD SPLIT. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT DID'NT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM OR HOW TO REPORT SUCH A THING. I COUD'NT GET SATISFACTION WITH MY PROBLEM THEN ,BUT MAYBE THIS WILL HELP FORCE FIRESTONE AND OTHER COMPANYS TO NOT PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT CAN ENDANGER LIFES, THIS IS A CRIME AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THE LOSS OF LIFE TO MAKE A DOLLAR!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/75R16 )
