Tires · at 56,000 miles · reported Jan 24, 2011
The contact owns a 2001 chevrolet express 1500 equipped with tbc sigma shadow tires, size p235/75/r15. While driving 60 MPH, the left rear side tire began making noises and there was a loud tug.

Seats · at 15,638 miles · reported Jan 4, 2010
The driver's seat base continues to separate from the seat riser frame. The seat base has been replaced 7 or 8 times by the dealer since 2004. It is now broken again and has been for at least a year. I have only 048409 miles on this van and I AM the only driver since new. I weigh only 200 lbs. And I don't think it is my fat ass causing the seat to come apart. After giving a friend a ride into town a few weeks ago, he told me the front passenger seat didn't feel right. He was correct, the passenger seat is in the same shape as the driver's seat, broken! I need help please.
Steering · at 111,000 miles · reported Jun 15, 2009
