The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt equipped with nankang milestar bst radial tires (n/a). While driving approximately 40 mph, the front end of the vehicle began to violently shake. The vehicle was taken to and independent mechanic where he was informed that the belts within the tires were separating. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 68,000.
Driving at 70 miles an hour the front tire outer tread came off the tire throwing the tire that came out from the car, cracking the windshield and bending a fender and running board. Almost making me loose control of the vehicle. The tire brand was continental dot cpv9blc0707 notified gm of the damages and they said they would take a look.
On November 13th I felt something wrong when driving home. I stopped at sam's club and asked them to check the tire pressure. They stated it was at 40-42. The attendant let the air out to 29. He said the tires looked ok and suggested have the alignment checking. While on the freeway home, the tread separated from the tire. I thought I had hit something, pulled over and kicked each tire for damage (it was dark). There was air in all tires so I decided to go the last 5 miles home. Immediately driving a few feet I realized something was wrong. I called a tow and the operator said the tread separated. We had the car dropped off at garrett motors. The next morning we told them what happened. Later they called saying it would not be covered because the tire was underinflated and that was why it became separated. We told them we had proof that the tire pressure was at the correct level 20 minutes before, and that the tire felt it had air (garrett claimed it was 10psi-visual observation did not show that small amount of air). Garrett refused to honor the warranty citing it was operator error. They also said that all other tires needed replacement. Garrett refused to replace any of the tires or fix the body damage to the car due to the tire tread hitting the side of the vehicle.
Tires are bad on drivers side only and dealer wants to put on new tires and rims on front end. I have a warranty and they wont cover this.
Brand new car had to replace tires just under 30k miles.
