2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I bought tires from Walmart.com website in July 15 2023 and had them installed on a 2005 Chevrolet 2500 HD pickup. This was at the Walmart Laramie store. Between that time and Fall of 2024 one of the tires had a flat and Walmart Laramie, Wy replaced it. On October 7 2024 going to Riverton, Wy. the right rear passenger tire had a blow out. This was on I-80 going west towards Rawlins. It scared the beejeezus out of my young grandchildren. Four hours later, it was replaced with the spare (I did not have a jack in the vehicle and called a tow company). I took the tire to Walmart Riverton and they told me in the tire center that the tire was too badly damaged. They wondered where I had bought the tires. I told them in Laramie at Walmart. They looked me up online and found the tires. They told me they could not replace the tire although it was under warranty. The problem was that they are car tires and not light truck tires!!! They told me to call up Laramie Walmart and the tire manager would take care of me. I went home and did so. Jackson the tire manager said he wasn't going to replace them and that it was all my fault and that I forced them to put those tires on! He lied to me about what happened with the tires and them installing them. I went back to Riverton Walmart and again talked to the tire manager (Tyrone). He said that he would talk to the store Manager and they would make it right. He said he would order the correct ones, install them and then charge the Laramie store. I'm not driving the vehicle anywhere. What can I do about it? I know nothing about tires and have never been a tire company employee. This has been going on for months. Last week the Riverton store said they could mount and balance tires for free but I would have to seek a refund from the Laramie store to reimburse me after I buy new tires for $1200. I live on Social Security of $1229 a month!! 2 of 4 tires have failed and I don't have anywhere near the 60,000 miles warranty Can you help us?

OCTOBER 29,2020 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NOTHING NOT EVEN A LIGHT CAME ON TO NOTIFY MY OF AN ISSUE. I ALSO TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT SNAPPED AND AT THAT POINT I HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD WAY TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS OR ANYONE, AND IN DOING SO IWENT TOWARDS A DITCH AND RAMPED A DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE ;LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS AND ITS THE SAME PARTS WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON THIS TRUCK AND WHY IT CAUSED ME TO WRECK. HYDRO BOOST SYSTEM, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE CODES THAT I PULLED FROM THE NHTSA. THESE ALL ARE WHATS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE. 04V376000 05V161000 05V043000 IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFO PLEASE LET ME KNOW I HAVE A VIDEO I TRIED TO SEND FROM THE HOMEOWNERS SECURITY CAMERA OF THE TRUCK RAMPING HIS DRIVE BUT IT WAS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD AND I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 EQUIPPED WITH BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN TIRES, SIZE: LT265/75/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE STARTED TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF PLY SEPARATION TO THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 26 DAYS LATER, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY DISCOUNT TIRE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR, I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN THE 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED. AFTER LESS THAN 60 SECONDS, THE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY TO 85 MILES PER HOUR. STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AT FIRST DID NOT CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN IT DID FINALLY CANCEL, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MANUALLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL THEN TOOK OVER AGAIN AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY, EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT. ONCE AGAIN, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCELLED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AT THE MAIN SWITCH ON THE TURN SIGNAL STEM. LATER ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED BACK ON AND TESTED AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 45 MPH, THE CRUISE WOULD NOT SET AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BUT THEY DID INDICATE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE ITSELF WOULD PROBABLY BE AT FAULT. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH IS LEFT IN THE ON POSITION, BUT THE CRUISE IS NOT SET, IT MAY RANDOMLY TAKE OVER THE THROTTLE AND ACCELERATE OR SOMETIMES HOLD ITS OWN SPEED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT MAY BE IN THE PATH OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATES. AS OF THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, A SOLUTION HAS NOT BEEN FOUND TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TOWN ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WITH THE AC ON AND THE BLOWER IN THE HIGH POSITION, THE BLOWER STARTED TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS NOTED AND THE BLOWER COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AC CONTINUED TO CYCLE ON AND OFF. THE OTHER LOWER SETTINGS FOR THE BLOWER DID NOT WORK EITHER. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PLUG THAT GOES TO THE RESISTOR PACK NEXT TO THE BLOWER HAD A BADLY-BURNED CONTACT FOR THE GROUND WIRE GOING TO THE BLOWER. THE PLASTIC AROUND THE PLUG WAS MELTED AND BURNED AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WAS MELTED OFF. A SERIOUS FIRE COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY STARTED UNDER THE DASH DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT AND ARCING OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. DOING RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT I DO NOT FIND ONE.
