1993 GMC Sierra

TIRE DEVELOPED A LARGE EGG SHAPED BUBBLE ON RIGHT, OUTSIDE HALF OF TREAD AREA. NOT ON SIDEWALL BUT DIRECTLY ON THE THREAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROCK VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING THE RIGHT FRONT END TO DIP AND RISE RAPIDLY. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND OBSERVED THIS BUBBLE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES. AT 10 MPH. WHEN I ARIVED HOME THE TIRE THEN DEFLATED BUT IT DID NOT BURST. THE TIRE IS FLAT BUT INTACT. IS THIS A TIRE YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN TESTING OR CHECKING OUT? PLEASE ADVISE. I CAN SEE FROM MY EXPERIENCE HOW THE CAR COULD OVER TURN DUE TO THIS INCREASING VIOLENT RISING AND DIPPING OF THE FRONT END. IF THIS OCCURRED ON A DIP AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED I BELIEVE IT WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER VERY QUICKLY. THANKS JOHN. *AK

THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM-94-C-62(B). SINCE THE RECALL I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN THE DEALERS SHOP 3 TIMES. THEY'VE REPLACED THE SAME SEAT BOLTS EACH TIME. THEY EVEN REPLACED THE SEAT THE SECOND TIME IN THE SHOP. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK OVER A MONTH AND DEALING WITH 3 GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE TO GET GM TO PAY FOR IT. WHICH AT THAT TIME GM STATED THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR ANY FURTHER SEAT REPAIRS. THIS SEAT FEELS LIKE IT MIGHT BE GETTING LOOSE AGAIN. AS THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ARE THEY ONLY OBLIGATED TO REPAIR IT AS LONG AS THEY WANT? ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN? EACH TIME IT BREAKS, IT DOES SO WHILE DRIVING. IS THIS JUST AN ISOLATED EVENT OR ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM? GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY REOCCURING PROBLEM IS THE ONLY ONE THEY HAVE HEARD OF RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THE DEALER THAT DID THE RECALL WORK IS ROYAL MOORE BUICK/GMC IN HILLSBORO OR.*AK
