In July 2008 we purchased a new chevy Cobalt ss from c. Weaver Chevrolet in yorkville, NY. We were having a problem with a noise in the rear and brought it in for service at 12,400 miles. We were told that it was in need of rear brakes and also that the front tires were in need of replacement. The front tires were removed in the winter for snow tires and have only been on the car for about 7,00 miles. It was our opinion that there were defects with the tires and brakes but the dealership, (carbone GMC,pontiac, Buick), in yorkville, NY refused to perform the repairs under warranty citing drivers use as the reason for the wear on the brakes and tires.

The contact leased a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. The vehicle has continental touringcontact as tires, size 195/60/r15 (na). While driving between 55-60 mph, the contact heard a loud noise outside of the vehicle. She immediately pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. She observed that the front driver's side tire lost an excessive amount of pressure. Roadside assistance was called to the scene and they replaced the tire with a spare. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the front driver's side tire exhibited severe tread separation. The tire was replaced with a new one. The failure mileage was 31,322 and current mileage was 32,300.
