general problems of the 2000 Buick Lesabre

Complete tire separation from steel belts of tire construction while car was being driven on interstate highway. Tire had high amount of tread life remaining beforehand and this happened with absolutely no warning. Very dangerous to occupants and caused physical and aesthetic damage to vehicle. Do not know what the cost of the repair will be at this time.

: the contact stated the vehicle vibrated badly at any speed. The dealership aligned the front end, balanced the tires, and rotated the tires three times to correct the vibration, but the problem persisted. The dealership determined the left front tire's belt was broken and replaced the tire. On June 10, 2006, the tread on the left front tire detached and caused extensive damage to the vehicle.

Tires made in 4 sections, have hard heavy spots, tires can not be balanced, causing bad viabrations at all speeds and grossly effect steering, to the loss of control of vehicle. (dot number: none show tiresize: p215/70/15).

Since ownership of vehicle consumer noticed that the front tires were not balanced, vehicle would vibrate at 60 mph, consumer was advised by dealership that they would not try to balance tires until the vehicle had at least 1000 miles on it, once vehicle obtained the miles consumer took vehicle back to dealership and was then advised that the two front tires could not be balanced because they were defective, the rear tires were balanced but would not be satisfactory to transfer to the front as they would probably shake, consumer has replaced all four (general tires) and is now requesting reimbursement.

Two front tires out of round, causing vibration at highway speed, dealer would not replace with another brand, but offered to replace with more firestones (dot number: w2x0aac080 tiresize: p225/60r16).

Driver's side tire was leaking air. Consumer had it replaced. According to consumer, dealership wanted a sealant on the tire, and in consumer's home town with a temperature of 118 degrees, sealant would melt. Owner had wheel replaced at own cost, because he believed it to be porous and leaking air. Buick reimbursed owner for replacement cost.

The general tires are faulty causing the vehicle to pull to the left while passing other vehicles, alignments and rotations have been performed but the problems still exist, the tires have 1800 miles on them. Nlm.

Tire thread was disbonding, dealer would not do anything had to find a firestone store had to find one in another town( dot number: tire size: p225/60r16 ).

Two days after purchase of vehicle right rear tire exploded while driving at 65 mph. Cause of the failure was undetermined.
