Suspension problem #1

We've put 21,000 miles on these tires in 3 years and have tire rumbles, vibration while driving and side wall is cracking and flaking away. Brought to the dealer where we got the tires from and they have no idea what's causing it. Seems to me that several people are having this issue. There needs to be a recall for these tires before someone gets hurt while driving.

Suspension problem #2

Was driving south on hwy77 when my Tahoe starting to bounce on the front end then starting fish tailing from white line to white line tried to correct and had no stering. Then went off the right side of road and hit a drieway and flip end over end then back over headed in the oposite way. There was a person watching the accident happend and he stated that the truck was bouncing going down the road then went out of control and fliped. Had Tahoe serviced in March for a poping noise at richard kay superstore in anderson south carolina where they stated they fixed the problem. Stated was a stering shaft. They replaced it. Callaway wrecker service stated that there was a problem in the front end that was very suspeious. With one of the wheels and where was connected to the frame. This would have been where the bouncing came from where the tire was turned side wasys .

Suspension problem #3

Factory installed hitch receiver is severely twisted. The issue has developed over the past 4 years but with very infrequent use. If the vehicle had done a lot of heavy towing this unit would have failed for sure. This could have caused a very serious accident if the failure were to have become catastrophic. I have come to discover that this is a common problem encountered by the majority of those who have used the vehicle for any intermediate towing.
