This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Tires on 2003 Chevy Silverado do not have grip, they slide on slopes even in dry weather. You must prepare ahead of time to slow down to stop or you will slide or tires will just spin when you proceed on a hill or slight incline, no traction at all, consider dangerous.
Consumer stated that while driving on the interstate, the vehicle had a tire blowout. The consumer managed to pull to the side, got out of the vehicle and examined the tires. He noticed that a tire was blown out at the side. Vehicle did not hit or bump anything because the blow out was at the left rear side of the tire. Consumer stated that he changed the tire and took the damaged tire to the dealer and they refused to help him because the tire was not a recall tire. General, ameri-trac, size 255/70R16. The sidewall had blown out and there was no sign of tread damage. (the tire pressure was fine and the vehicle didn't have anything in the bed when the incident occurred.)
