NO DEALER CAN REPAIR MY TAKATA AIR BAG DUE TO GM NOT HAVING A REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT NHTSA AND GM ARE NOT CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE BY HAVING THIS ISSUE OPEN FOR SO LONG AND ANSWER TO THE MANDATED REPAIRS. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATORS. I AM AFRAID WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE AND DON'T HAVE OTHER OPTIONS FOR WORK.

TCM failed. Couldn’t find the parts required. Truck sat 700 miles away from me for four weeks. Had to have part repaired in hopes it worked. As of now I still have some issues but would not have the truck at all if I had to wait for a part

THREE OE (3) GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, LT265/60 R20 HAVE BECOME DEFECTIVE, ALL IN THE SAME FASHION WITH SIDEWALL PROBLEMS, TWO WITH BULGING, ONE WITH AN AT SPEED BLOWOUT AT THE SIDEWALL. FIRST ONE, 1/22/16 WHILE DRIVING BUT STOPPED DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ANOTHER MOTORIST POINTED OUT THE BULGE. INSTALLED SPARE, AT DESTINATION PURCHASED AT FULL PRICE 2 BRAND NEW TIRES IN ORDER TO HAVE MATCHING TREAD ON ALL TIRES. DEALER ALLEGED THERE MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGE, SO THERE WAS NO WEAR ADJUSTMENT. SECOND ONE NOTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY 2/15/17. CALLED GOODYEAR WHO REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL FACTORY STORE WHO PRO-RATED AN ADJUSTMENT AND I REC'D A NEW TIRE. THIRD ONE BLEW OUT AT TURNPIKE SPEED 8/16/17. NONE OF THESE TIRES WERE ANYWHERE NEAR THE END OF TREAD LIFE AT THE TIME OF THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "OFF-ROAD" AND I DO NOT DRIVE AROUND HITTING OBJECTS WITH THE TIRES. I DO NOT WANT TO TURN OVER THE LATEST DEFECTIVE TIRE TO A DEALER UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU IF AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER; IT IS "EVIDENCE". I DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE FIRST TWO TIRES AND WILL DO THE SAME WITH THE MOST RECENT ONE. THANK YOU.

On 4/12/22, we were towing our 32ft trailer with putt 2011 diesel GMC Sierra truck to Big Bear Lake which is in the San Bernardino Mountains in a two way winding highway. Upon making a somewhat sharp turn up a steep uphill, our accelerator went out. We had my mother in law, our two kids and dog in the vehicle at the time. We were able to get a speed of about 5-10mph to get a turn out and turn back around. We had no reception to call for help. The accelerator gave out shortly after but we were able to ride the decline to the bottom of the mountain and as soon as we were getting to the bottom, the engine turned off on us. Although it was still a two way highway, thankfully there was an emergency lane where we were able to park and where we were able to get very limited reception to call AAA (tow truck). There were vehicle speeding past us in high rates of speed. Because we needed a specialty tow truck given the towing of the truck/trailer, we knew it would take quite a while in the mountains for a driver to get to us. Temperatures at night in this area can get to 10-20 degrees. Five hours later at 11pm we were towed home. Upon towing the truck and trailer home, we were made aware of the reason the truck broke down through a diesel mechanic, which was CP4 fuel pump failure. Upon learning this and going online, we found out this is common for this truck with the CP4 fuel pump. We also found that other companies have made recalls, eg. Dodge but GMC/Chevy has not. This is obviously a safety issue that could have been catastrophic for myself, my kids and family and am wondering why there hasn’t already been a recall through GMC. Please let me know what our recourse is or if you have any questions.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND SUDDENLY FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP: MEDVED CHEVROLET BUICK GMC 1506 S WILCOX ST, CASTLE ROCK, CO 80104 WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

An independent was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the tire failed due to the lump found on the front driver's tire. The tire was replaced. The contact stated the failure recurred. The contact inspected the tire and the rear passenger tire also experienced the same failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 265, 000 and tire failure mileage was not included.

While traveling at 65 mph the vehicle began to Vibrate and suddenly the tread separated and began banging against the side of the vehicle LT265/60R20E. I feel fortunate this was a rear tire and I was able to safely bring the vehicle to a stop. The tires were installed at 35333 miles so they only had about 26000 miles and are rated to 60000 miles.

TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION I HAD TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT OF MY LANE AND I HIT A MOUNTAIN HEAD ON AND NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE OVER TURNED ON ITS LEFT DRIVER SIDE AFTER SKIDDING ALONG PAVEMENT FOR A FEW YARDS IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. I WAS THE DRIVER AND SUSTAINED LACERATIONS TO MY HEAD BRUISING IN CHEST AREA AND A PUNCTURED LEFT LUNG. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING 35 MPH
