Took car in several rimes due to tire wearing on the right side. Had tire changed 3 times in less than 30;000 miles. They couldn’t find anything wrong with it until warranty was up and now all of a sudden it’s a manufacturer defect. Horrible the way the dealership did us. By the way warranty was u…

[image] Rculpepper: manufacturer defect. Elevate to corporate as detailed in your owners manual. If the dealership had a service bull item on the defect before the warranty ran out, I would think it would be GMs responsibility.

The dealer’s not off the hook. You have what’s called an on-going warranty issue. What this means is, if you bring a vehicle to the dealer for a warranty issue repeated times, and that issue wasn’t resolved under the warranty, but the warranty expires, the dealer is still responsible to do that re…

[image] Tester: You have what’s called an on-going warranty issue Yes, yes, and yes. Dealerships don’t get to run out the clock by pretending the warranty issue isn’t real until 5 minutes after the warranty ends. OP, follow @Tester 's excellent advice and don’t let these jokers rip you off.

[image] ok4450: it sounds like an accident is involved; meaning wreck, curb strike, pothole, etc. If so, that is not a warrantable repair. I’d agree, but assuming OP is not leaving stuff out, this sentence is the sticking point: [image] Rculpepper: They couldn’t find anything wrong with …

I think the dealer told him its a manufacturer defect an the warranty is up.

It could be tire wear due to suspension geometry issues. Worn bushings? Less then perfect camber? It has irs so I assume the wheels do move a lot vs a solid axle?

There is a service bulletin that provides part numbers for rear suspension alignment shims to correct camber and caster. However adjustments (wheel alignment) are only covered by the warranty for 7500 miles, that expired more than 2 weeks ago.

As Nevada noted, there is a service bulletin to correct wear in the inside edge of the rear tire. But that TSB came out 3.5 years ago in Jan 2018. @Rculpepper : Was your tire wear on the inside edge of the rear tires? That TSB can be seen at: MC-10139257-9999.pdf 1280.80 KB …
