Owner Complaints (3)
Purchased 2018 truck new from dealer on 2/19. Came with 20" rims and the spare tire is on a17"rim. Currently, there is a GM recall # N212346510 and NHTSA campaign #21V985000 for this issue. My truck is not included. Hazard: Based on failure of the anti-lock braking system when operating vehicle with three 20" rims and one 17" spare my vehicle should be include in the recall.
THE FACTORY WHEELS DO NOT GRIP THE ROAD. THIS WAS FROM DAY 1 OF GETTING IT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. THIS HAS LED TO SPINNING THE TIRES, FISHTAILING, AND SLIDING WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVEN MODERATE AMOUNTS OF PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL OR BRAKING WELL AHEAD OF A SLOW DOWN OR STOP IN TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TAKES AWAY THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO MANEUVER AS WE SHOULD.
NEW TRUCK WITH 15 MILES. BAD VIBRATION SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM BOTH FRONT AND REAR AREA AT SPEEDS OF 64 TO 72 POSSIBLE TIRES OUT OF BALANCE OR ALIGNMENT.
