MY FRONT LEFT TIRE, WHICH IS A GOODYEAR EAGLE P225/55R17/SL GDY B01 LS-2 95T0, BLEW OUT IN THREE PLACES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE THREAD. THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA LAST OCTOBER. I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED LAST AT JIMMY GRAY CHEVROLET IN SOUTHAVEN, MS 38671. I HAVE ONLY 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I FEEL GOODYEAR OWES ME A NEW TIRE, BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED. IF THEY WOULD PAY ME $140. I WILL BE HAPPY. I WILL SAVE THE TIRE FOR EVIDENCE, IF THEY WISH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE DRIVERS LEFT TIRE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED IT NORMAL OPERATIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN A FORWARD MOTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A DIAGNOSIS WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPRODUCED. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONER, GAUGE LIGHTS, POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING AS DID THE TRANSMISSION. THIS LASTED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.(THERE ARE NO PLACES TO STOP ON OUR ROADS.) THE FIRST LIGHT TO COME ON WAS THE WARNING ABOUT LOSS OF STABILITRAC AND THE SECOND WAS ABOUT AIR BAGS, THE THIRD WAS ABOUT UNEVEN TIRE PRESSURE. EVENTUALLY THE GAUGE LIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I TURNED IT OFF IN PARK AND THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THE STABILITRAC AND AIR BAG WARNINGS WERE STILL ON, BUT THE REST OF THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO BE WORKING. EVENTUALLY THE STABILITRAC AND AIR BAG WARNINGS STOPPED. THE NEXT DAY EVERYTHING CAME ON AS NORMAL. THE AIRBAG FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT NEVER IS ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JANUARY. *TR

WHILE HEADING SOUTH ON OHIO I675 JUST SOUTH OF I35, THE GAS WAS NO LONGER BEING PUMPED TO THE ENGINE. I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT THE CAR WAS ALMOST STOPPED BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I CALLED AAA AND THEN LANG'S AUTO DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE I COULD GET THE CAR IN ON A SATURDAY. AAA RESPONDED QUICKLY AND REPLACED THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO LANG'S. THEY FOUND THAT THE DRAIN WIRE IN CONNECTOR X200 A1 SHORTED TO CIRCUIT 3640 A3 IN X200. THE FIX WAS TO RE-POSITION THE DRAIN WIRE TO NOT CONTACT THE FSCM WIRE TERMINAL AT X200. DOC ID 2585199 LOCATION K-16. HAD SEVERAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH LANG'S SERVICE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE MECHANIC KNEW THE FIX SINCE HE HAD DONE THIS BEFORE. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO REPORT THIS TO GM TO HOPEFULLY CREATE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER: THE WIRING REPAIR WAS DONE AT A CONNECTOR IN THE RIGHT LOWER HUSH PANEL AREA BY THE LOWER DOOR HINGE. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THIS DO TO EXPERIENCE AND PROPER DIAGNOSIS. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU DID TO CREATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT CORRECTLY MANUFACTURED FROM THE SUPPLIER OF THE HARNESS/CONNECTOR. AND: ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS ARE LOOKED AT BY GENERAL MOTORS BUT I WILL FORWARD YOUR CONCERNS TO MY AREA REPRESENTATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE MORE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH ARE KNOWN BUT NOT RECALLED. ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING SUBARU WAS BEING SUED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE A BREAKDOWN THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF HARMS WAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY RESULTS FROM THIS REPORTING INCIDENT. *TR
