2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Shortly after purchase, one of the factory tires had a side bulge. The dealer indicated in their opinion, was from a pot hole. However when they checked the rim, it was not damaged. I had tire replaced. Then at 39K miles, all the the other tires were already getting worn out. I've NEVER had tires wear about pre-40K miles in all my life. At local belle tire, they told me that the Hankook tires that come with new cars are not the same quality as those you would buy at tire store. But I submitted a replacement claim to Hankook, as the belle tire rep suggested, but they would not honor anything. Simply said need tire insurance. I notice when buying the car new, the dealers offer extra (cost) tire insurance. Must be because the are lousy, compared to buying at a local tire store. Now at 42K I'm replacing tires already. New cars should come with same quality tires as you buy at tire stores. And I will tell everyone about poor quality of Hankook brand.

I have had multiple issues with the car since I've purchased it. The brakes continuously make noise, and the automatic Emergency Braking DOES not work. The tire pressure sensors don't work, they have the wrong tire pressure for each tire, and the tires constantly over inflate. Also, my front bumper is coming off. I've taken it to the dealership for all of these things, the dealership said the brakes seem fine, the front bumper clips seem to have warn down for some reason, and that they reset my tire pressure. There was no permanent solution. They put a band aid on my problem and I still have all of these issues.

On June 10, 2021 I was driving home at a speed of approx 65 miles an hour from the grocery store on Interstate 255 when all my side airbags suddenly exploded. My 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS was 3 months old and had 3500 miles on the car. After exiting the vehicle, I found the rear passenger tire was flat. Upon changing the tire, we discovered that the wheel had split apart. There is no damage to the body or underneath the vehicle. There was no large potholes or debris anywhere in the area. Upon starting the investigation with GM regarding the incident, they reported that the air bags acted as they should and they would not take liability. When both myself and the service manager of the dealership questioned why the report had not one single mention of the tire/wheel which caused the deployment of the airbags in the entire investigative report, we were both told "the airbags acted as they should" and the decision was final. The service manager was in shock and has stated repeatedly that based on the facts gathered and condition of the tire/wheel, there was some sort of defect in the wheel which caused it to explode. There is absolutely no evidence to make him think that I hit anything or caused the incident. GM will not discuss the case any further and told me to turn it over to my insurance. The fact that they did not investigate the cause (the exploding of a wheel for no apparent reason) makes me believe they are trying to cover up a potential issue that could impact the safety of other 2021 Trailblazer owners. The air bag replacements are on backorder and are predicted to take months. I am currently without a vehicle.
