[XXX] Steering wheel started bumping then heard noise from passenger side front. Started losing control of vehicle. Made it to the shoulder. Inspected tire, tire failure tread had separated from cord. Changed to spare tire which was bald. However tread from failed tire had bent metal wheel well and was rubbing on spare. Made it to Mr Tire. Had wheel well bent back and new tire installed. We could have been severely injured, killed or crashed into another vehicle, hurting or killing them. My daughter and grandson were in vehicle with me. No ins claim filed. No police report. Mr Tire did not inspect failed tire as I had changed to the spare I still have the failed tire.

THIS HAPPENS A LOT. I WAS BACKING UP OUT OF MY SISTER'S DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THERE WAS A CRUNCHING FEELING UNDER MY FOOT ALONG WITH A WEIRD SOUND LIKE, "DOING" AT THE END. I COULD NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH AND RAN INTO HER BROTHER IN LAWS HITCH ON HIS TRUCK WITH MY RIGHT REAR CORNER BUMPER COVER. (IF THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED? MAYBE FASCIA?) IT DIDN'T HURT HIS TRUCK AT ALL, BUT IT SURE BUSTED UP THAT CORNER PIECE REAL GOOD ON MY JIMMY. IT'S BEEN SCARY A FEW TIMES SINCE! I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES BLED, AND NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED, AND IT'S STILL DOING IT! ALSO, THE ABS LIGHT IS ON MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT'S OFF IS WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. SO I GET A LITTLE PANICKY WHEN THAT LIGHT GOES OFF, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE IT SHOULDN'T BE ON TO BEGIN WITH? I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS EXCEPT TO CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT IT. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS ABS ISSUES IS FROM A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR SOMETHING OR OTHER GETS CORRODED AND HAS BEEN RECALLED. IS THIS TRUE? P.S. I HAVE NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN IT'S RAINY, SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S SNOWY, AND USUALLY WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SOMEWHERE, IF THAT HELPS. *JS

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY HEADLIGHTS (WHICH ARE AUTOMATIC TYPE USING A LIGHT SENSOR) WENT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THEY CAME BACK ON. THEY DID IT A 2ND TIME FOR A SHORTER TIME PERIOD ON THE SAME DRIVE AND HAVE FLASHED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS TEMPORARILY ON A FEW NIGHTS SINCE THEN. THE INTERIOR DASH/SWITCH LIGHTING INSIDE THE CAR DOES NOT GO OUT, JUST THE HEADLAMPS. *TR

WE JUST PARK THE CAR CLOSE THE EXIT TO GO TO 51TH, BUT THE SAFETY TRUCK WHICH HELP ON HI 35, PARKED BEHIND US, SO IT PROTECTED US UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK CAME FOR US, ONE AND A HALF HOUR LATER. *TR

This Preliminary Information communicates to the dealer the process for downloading or updating operating software for the Tire Pressure Monitor, Active Fuel Injector tester, multi media tester, PICO Scope, GR8 starting/charging tester  and Vehicle Data Recorder tools, giving website address and step by step instructions to complete the update.

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that the Heater-Vent-Air Conditioning blows warm air. Before calling General Motors Technical Assistance Center technician will need to have high and low pressures, outside temperature, humidity, and vent temperature.

Vehicle Wide Programming (VWP) is a new process to update software on GM Vehicles. It provides the ability via a single selection within Techline Connect to first identify which modules need updating and then proceed to updating affected modules (with some exceptions). The updating of modules is completed in parallel instead of the technician needing to update one module at a time. This allows a more streamlined approach for dealers and customers.

GM is receiving damaged (cracked or broken) transmission cores returned to the reman facilities. The damage is being caused either in the removal process by the technician, or inadequate packaging or shipping. This bulletin advises the dealers to be more careful not to damage the transmissions during removal and to package the core properly for return.

This service bulletin advises of a new fuel injection cleaner kit used for decarbonizing the intake valves to correct conditions of rough idle, Crank no start, extended crank or misfire, MIL with DTCs, and explains how Top Tier fuels should be used to reduce carbon build-up.
