Equipment problem #1

Driving at 70mph, thread from tire blew. . That was in July, I went and purchased another tire from bob king GMC wilmington, nc. The first tire that blew was now discontinued so I purchased another good year . On Friday I noticed that another tire on my truck had a bubble along the threads again. It was also getting ready to blow like the first tire. I went to the dealer and they told me the tire I purchased (good year) was also discontinued. . . Please look into this matter. . They have faulty tires and this matter could have turned out with a death. . It isn't the dealers fault it is good year . . . . I have also read on line this isn't the first time people are complaining about the threads coming apart. . . .

Equipment problem #2

I have a 2018 GMC sierra duramax quad-cab and when it is connected to either my boat, stock trailer, or cargo trailer the lights and electric trailer brakes on the trailers do not work. And the chime from the "service trailer brake" indicator sounds and doesn't stop until I unplug my trailer harness from my truck making it a distraction and an unsafe situation when trying to navigate through traffic(changing lanes, stopping, and other functions needed when hauling trailers). The dealership said it was a module and specified which one and so I elected to replace it myself and it wasn't the issue. I choose to do the work myself as they quoted me a price of $700. 00+ to repair the problem.
