I have a 2012 chev cruz with a tire that keeps losing pressure. The chev garage told me that it has several micro holes and recommended replacement at $250/tire and that I needed to buy 2 (because you can't just replace one). I asked the technician how this can happen and he said it's nothing I did and that michelin tires are known to have flaws such as this but no recall on my tires yet. Dot: b9mt 003x 0912 (p225 45r18) 91w (michelin pilot hx mxm4) (134388m) . Very frustrated as this is a new car.
I took my vehicle in complaining of a strange noise, almost like a "pop" when braking. When the dealership looked at it they told me it was the struts. They stated they were waiting on a recall from Chevrolet and that I should just continue to keep calling and checking on it. I called them each month since. Each time they assured me it would not affect my vehicle at all and that it would be fine. Obviously, a strut is a part of the car, it must be needed to function or it would not be on there. I have no idea how this is affecting my vehicle including my tire wear, brakes, and overall structure of the vehicle. There has still been no recall issued and the problem still exists.
When entering a curve vehicle shakes after about a hour of driving dealer could not duplicate so I took it to a friend of mine who is a race car mechanic for 30 years and he showed me the issue the tires they put on the chevy Cruze the 215-60-16 firestone fr710 is a s speed rated tire this should be a t or a h speed rated the Cruze will exceed the 112mph the tires are rated for and this could cause them to bust I actually had one pop off the rim and deflate this low grade of tire is not made for curvy roads which is what is causing the bumping people are experiencing during cornering.
