I AM NOW BUYING THE 3RD SET OF REAR TIRES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE INSIDE TREAD WEARS DOWN TO THE WIRES EVERY 13-16,000 MILES. THE VIN ON MY CAR FALLS WITHIN THE VIN'S LISTED ON GM TSB 8032, HOWEVER THIS CAR IS NOT A POLICE CAR. GM STATES THAT I MUST BE HITTING A POTHOLE CAUSING ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. I MUST BE HITTING THE SAME POTHOLE AT THE SAME MILEAGE ALL 3 TIMES AND IT ONLY AFFECTS THE REAR TIRES. THERE IS EXTENSIVE ANECDOTAL REFERENCES TO THIS PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES, INCLUDING NHTSA. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF GM IS ALLOWED TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. GM'S ONLY SOLUTION IS TO SELL ME ALIGNMENTS AND TIRES SINCE IT IS "MY FAULT" AND EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE NOTED BY GM IN TSB 8032, IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE RELATED SINCE THE OTHER IDENTICAL PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS ON POLICE AND GOVERNMENT CARS TO WHICH GM SELLS A LOT OF CARS. THE EVERYDAY INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT HAVE THE COMPLAINING POWER OF A LARGE BULK PURCHASER. *TR

THE DEALER SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE BRAND OF TIRE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS NONSENSE. *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.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL TANK IS MISSING THE ADHESIVE LAYER THAT BONDS THE BARRIER LAYER TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WITH THIS CONDITION, FUEL AND/OR FUEL VAPORS COULD SEEP OUT BETWEEN THE LAYERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
