2001 Unknown Unknown Problems, complaints & recalls

I experienced two sidewall tire failures on my tow dolly which had nanco tires. One of the failures resulted in damage to my tow dolly and destruction of the wheel the tire was mounted on, and a grass fire on the expressway. These failures required replacement of both tires and one wheel after the second tire failed. I am concerned because wants the tire back to process the claim. *Tr

The multifunction switch must be pinched or bad in my monte, my turn signals only work when they want, my windows, radio, and four ways only work when they want too. I have owned a chevy since I started driving 20 plus years ago and I have never had anything like this happen it is very dangerous and I cannot afford to buy a new one, therefore I have decided to go with another manufacturer for another vehicle. I am very disappointed because I have always liked chevys, but I can`t take the safety risk. *Tr

I suffered a flat tire as a result of the defective tire. When I took it to be repaired, the repair person said that I was lucky to be alive because I could have had a blow out on the highway. The other two tires were also coming apart at the sidewalls. All of them were split and the rubber was coming off. I am thankful that I did not have a blowout because I have a small child who could have been badly hurt. I still have three of these tires. *Jb

Deer ran out in front of me and I applied my brakes. Brakes released on my vehicle causing me to hit the deer. I had asked about this problem before to the manufacturer when I noticed it done this. They said there was no recall and that there was no problem with the brakes. I took there word on this because I had just got the truck a few months before this and it very seldom done it so I figured it was just like anti release brakes to avoid skidding or something. This accident would have been avoided if the...

Dt*: the contact stated the valve stems on all five tires of the t.U.F. Industries trailer were disintegrating so badly, that the caps peeled off when the contact attempted to check the air pressure. Neither the trailer nor the tires were seen by a dealer. Updated 10/31/2006 - all 5 valve stems were cracked 360 degrees around the stem. The depth of the crack was all the way to the metal core holder. The spare tire had been stored in a garage out of sunlight, yet it was just as bad as the tires on the trailer. Since the tires were tubeless the valve stems may or may not have been of goodyear manufacturer (goodyear workhorse 7.50X16lt tubeless). *Nm

My 2001 suzuki engine is making noises that seems to come from the inside of the engine. Mechanic stated that was either the cam shaft or the timing chain. In 2003 I took the vehicle to the dealer for a recall (not related to the noise) and when I told them about it, they said it was normal. Now I found out that there are a lot of problems with the engines of my car.I want my car repair.*Ak

I struck a small pot hole and the rear drivers leaf spring broke. This caused the suspension to sag and the axle to sift to the rear. The tire rubbed on the fender resulting in burned paint. The tire deflated before a fire could occur. If the tire hadn't been cut down, a fire certainly would have occured. The spring broke through the locating bolt hole. By all appearances the hardware was still tight.*Ak
