Recently reported Tire problems of the 2008 Saturn Astra

The Tire problem

I bought a Saturn Astra -- brand new. I recently found out that the tires had plugs in them -- at least two tires with two plugs. The tires were not new and are damaged. I called gm, filed a complaint, took the car into the dealer, and was told that the tires were damaged.   Read details...

The Tire Bulge problem

My tires are frequently getting sidewall bulges. This happened on a new 2008 Saturn Astra after it was about 6 months old. The first time it happened the dealer told me that it was a safety issue so I purchased a new tire. Then it happened again. The tires are hankook p225/45r17.   Read details...

The Tire Valve problem

The low tire pressure light would come on frequently and I have taken the vehicle in multiple times to the dealer. The dealer would say that there was no issue and they just put air into tire. This has been going on for years. This month I had to buy two new tires due to bulges and tires going flat.   Read details...
