I NOTICED THINGS ABOUT MY CAR BUT IGNORED THEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT, THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I WOULD NOTICE THAT MY CAR WOULD SLIDE A LOT WHEN THERE WAS SNOW/ICE/RAIN ON THE GROUND. AS IF IT WASN'T SITTING ON THE GROUND PROPERLY. I WOULD LOOK AT IT FROM THE REAR AT A DISTANCE AND IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO SLANT/DROOP AT AN ANGLE. ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF OF OWNERSHIP WHILE GETTING MY OIL CHANGED A SERVICE TECH FROM AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I HAD EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND STATED THAT I NEEDED ALL NEW TIRES. NOTE HE NEVER STATED THAT I NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT OR THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL NOTICE THAT WE COULD FIX WHILE YOUR CAR IS STILL UNDER. HE JUST WANTED TO SELL ME TIRES. FROM DOING MY RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT ALONE WITH THE ISSUE OF EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. LOOKS LIKE GM IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A GM BULLETIN 08032 BUT GM ONLY STATES THAT GOVERNMENT CARS ARE AFFECTED. I KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WORK ON GM ASSEMBLY LINES AND THEY WILL STATE THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR GM TO KNOWING KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS NOT CORRECT ON THESE CARS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOW MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST OR HAVE TO BE LOST FOR GM TO CALL A RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE ON THESE CARS. UPDATE 2/22/2012: I HAVE GOTTEN THE "NEEDED" "SPECIAL" WHEEL ALIGNMENT BUT AM STILL CONSTANTLY REPLACING TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN ON MY CAR NOT EVEN A YEAR. WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. NOT REPUTABLE AND DOING THE RIGHT THING WHICH IS TO CORRECTLY FIX OVER 400,000 CARS. *TR
