My car notified me that i had a low tire. I put air in it. A few days later i would get another notification my tire was low I had a slow leak in my tire. Took tire into tire shop and was told my rim was cracked on the inside. I am still under factory warranty. I called the dealership and was told to bring the rim/tire and the vehicle in so they could take pictures of the crack in the rim, the car and the vin #. The service tech submitted everything to GM. GM denied the claim and said it was not a defect on their end. The dealership offered to order a new rim at our cost of $938.50 and would be available the next day.

The spare tire from the factory doesn’t clear the brake caliper on the front hub. Was on a major highway in the rain and at nighttime with a flat tire. I went to put the spare on and it didn’t fit over the caliber. Had to put the flat back on then take the tire off the rear and put the spare on the rear and use the good rear tire to put on the front because the spare didn’t fit. I called GM they put a case together and I had the car looked at from the dealership with now outcome as of the date of this complaint.

WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRES FELT LIKE THEY WERE BEING LOCKED UP TO KEEP FROM FISHTAILING EVEN THOUGH ROADS WERE CLEAR AND DRY WITH NORMAL ACCELERATION. AFTER DRIVING, PARKED VEHICLE AND SAT IN IT FOR AN HOUR. AFTERWARDS, TURNED VEHICLE ON AND THE SCREEN STATED TO SERVICE ESC. STABILITRAK, LANE ASSIST, AND PARKING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS WITH THE VEHICLE OFF AND DROVE A BLOCK, THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND BECAME NORMAL. THEN AFTER AN HOUR OF THE VEHICLE SITTING AND TURNED OFF FOR AN HOUR, WE BEGAN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING, THE SCREEN STATED TO SERVICE ESC AGAIN. STABILITRAK, LANE ASSIST, AND PARKING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN.
