What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2000 GMC GMC Truck, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

FROM TIME OF PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION. TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES DUE TO SPLITTING AND SEPARATING. ON FOURTH SET OF TIRES. CONSUMER FELT DESIGN OF SUSPENSION CAUSED TIRES TO FAIL. *TT *JB *TS
TIRES WERE CHECKED APPROXIMATELY 8MOS AGO AND NO SIGN OF PROBLEM. WE HAD BEEN HEARING A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE OUT OF BALANCE AND HAD THEM CHECKED. THE NOISE KEPT GETTING WORSE UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WE SAW A BUBBLE FORMING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SIDEWALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD THAT MAY NOT ONLY AFFECT MY TIRES BUT OTHERS AS WELL. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY RECALL OR SAFTEY NOTIFICATION FOR THESE PARTICULAR TIRES. PLEASE RESPOND. I WILL BE REPLACING THEM TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.*AK
