NOT REPAIRABLE- NEEDED NEW TIRE 10/11/07 FLAT TIRE ON LOCAL STREET. AGAIN GOOD TREAD AND NO SIGN OF WEAR 85,424 MILES ON CAR - NEEDED NEW TIRE 5/29/08 FLAT TIRE WHILE RIDING ON RT 95 - GOOD TREAD AND NO SIGN OF WEAR. 90,002 MILES ON ARE - NEEDED NEW TIRE WE ARE A RETIRED COUPLE WHO TAKE CARE OUR CAR (INCLUDING TIRES). WHILE I CAN UNDERSTAND 1 FLAT TIRE AND POSSIBLY A 2ND FLAT TIRE BUT WHEN WE HAD THE 3RD FLAT TIRE WE SUSPECT A DEFECT. WE WROTE TO MICHELIN AND THEY SENT US TO A TIRE DEALER TO CHECK THE REMAINING TIRE. THE TIRE MANAGER PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND SAID HE AGREED THAT THE TIRE WAS GOOD - GOOD TREAD AND NO WEAR. BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID OF MORE FLATS HE REMOVED THE TIRES FROM THE RIMS - CLEANED THEM OUT - REPLACED THE STEMS AND PUT THEM BACK ON THE CAR. EACH FLAT THAT WE BROUGHT IN (3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS) THE SHOP SAID THE TIRE WAS GOOD , THERE SEEMED TO BE A "BUBBLE" WHICH THEY SAID COULD BE A STEM PROBLEM. I AM WRITING BECAUSE OF A TV STORY ON THE BOSTON CHANNEL ON FAULTY STEMS MADE IN CHINA. IF THERE ARE FAULTY STEMS OUT THERE THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATHS. (IT WAS NO FUN PULLED OVER ON RT 95 WHILE CARS WERE WHIZZING BY - IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS.) WE SIMPLY HAVE NO OTHER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES IN 2 YEARS ON "GOOD TIRES". NO SIGN OF WEAR - GOOD TREAD - NO NAILS, GLASS - NOTHING. WHY ARE WE GETTING FLATS??WE ARE AVAILABLE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT US. 508-240-1939 OR 772-834-6695 ROSEANN MAZJANIS . PS - AS I PROCEEDED WITH THIS REPORT THERE WERE 3 OPTIONS FOR MY KIND OF TIRE - I COULD NOT FIND THOSE NUMBERS ON THE TIRE SO JUST PICKED THE FIRST ONE - THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE ACTUAL TIRE THAT I HAVE BUT YOUR SITE JUST GAVE ME 3 OPTIONS. *TR

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES CONTAIN DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER LAP AND/OR SHOULDER BELT RETRACTORS THAT MAY NOT REMAIN LOCKED UP AS DESIGNED DURING A CRASH IN WHICH THE BELT PRETENSIONERS DEPLOY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN SUCH A CRASH, THIS COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN INJURY FOR THAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RETAINER KIT IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 31, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SEDANS, HEARSE, AND LIMOUSINE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACT." THESE VEHICLES HAVE SUNVISOR CENTER SUPPORTS WITH CERTAIN RADII LESS THAN THE 3.2MM REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: RADII LESS THAN 3.2MM CAN INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF CERTAIN TYPES OF INJURIES, LIKE LACERATIONS, IF AN OCCUPANT CONTACTS THE SUPPORT DURING A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUNVISOR CENTER SUPPORTS WITH REDESIGNED SUPPORTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 28, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, HEARSE, AND LIMOUSINES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES." THESE VEHICLES HAVE SEAT BELTS THAT MAY NOT MEET THE 30-POUND PUSH BUTTON RELEASE EFFORT REQUIREMENT OF THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: HIGH RELEASE EFFORTS COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR A CRASH VICTIM TO RELEASE THE BELT AND EXIT THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT BELTS AND, IF NECESSARY, MODIFY THE LATCH PLATES OR REPLACE THE RETRACTOR. DEALERS WILL ALSO ADD "SNAP ON" LATCH CLIPS TO ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL OF INVERTED LATCH PLATE INSERTION. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS BEING CONDUCTED IN PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE BEGAN MAY 29, 2001, AND THE SECOND PHASE BEGAN JULY 6, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006.
