  DT: THE WHEELS ARE PREMIUM ALUMIUM THAT ARE CHROME PLATE. PUT NEW TIRES ON IT BECAUSE ONE KEPT GOING SOFT. THEN TWO OF THE TIRES DID THAT AGAIN. TOOK THEM OFF, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. HE SAID THE CHROME WAS BULBING UP UNDER THE TIRE AND LETTING THE AIR OUT. . NOTICED THIS ABOUT 5 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. CONTACTED GM THEY JUST SAY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

  WASHER AND NUT CAME OFF THE FRONT WHEEL WHILE CONSUMER WAS GOING 15MPH. ABS LIGHT CAME ON AS A WARNING, AND VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE. CONSUMER GOT HOME, AND FOUND CALIPER WAS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE WHEEL. PIN WAS NOT PUT IN DURING MANUFACTURING. CONSUMER STATES A FLAT WASHER AND FLAT NUT (NOT A LOCK NUT) WERE USED, ALSO THERE IS NOT A CROWN NUT, NOR A COTTER PIN INSTALLED. DEALER STATED THE BEARING HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE HUB AND FAILED, PROBABLY DUE TO INSUFFICIENT TORQUE ON THE FLAT WASHER AND NUT.
