2019 Buick Envision SUV AWD

All 4 Michelin Premier LTX 225 / 60 R 18 tires are worn down to (on 2 tires) and below (on 2 tires) the unsafe level, where the vehicle cannot even pass an insnspection, due to safety concerns. The mileage this occurred at is 26,175 miles. These tires are “rated” by Michelin for 60,000 miles. I say rated because they carry a 60,000 mile tread life warranty, in writing (and on their website) from Michelin, which they provide the vehicle manufacturer to be placed in the glovebox. The second page of fine print, however, states in the next to final bullet point, that the warranty does not apply to OEM tires provided on new vehicle purchases. After speaking with several dealerships, parts departments and stand alone tire stores (which sell this brand), they are all aware of not only this practice with Michelin, but knew which model of tire I was referring to, without me mentioning it. This HAS to be either misrepresentation by the tire manufacturer or a factory defect from the same. It has to be one or the other. There are no other options.

APRIL 7, 2020 I AM WRITING TO YOU TODAY TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON HOW DIRE A SITUATION GM BUICK HAS PUT ME IN WITH REGARD TO A LACK OF A RESOLUTION REGARDING MY 2019 BUICK. GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PRODUCE AN AIRBAG PART #84548108 FOR MY 2019 BUICK ENVISION PREMIUM SINCE NOVEMBER 27, 2019. MY CAR WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2019 BUICK BY ANOTHER DRIVER WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN ROAD. HE WAS ISSUED A TICKET FOR FAILURE TO YIELD. I AM A REGISTERED NURSE AT WESTCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER IN VALHALLA, NEW YORK. I CANNOT BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY AND GET TO MY JOB AS AN INTENSIVE CARE NURSE AT WMC IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY NEW YORK. FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS GM HAS USED THE UAW STRIKE AS AN EXCUSE FOR NOT HAVING THE AVAILABLE PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE. NOW THEY ARE USING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AS AN EXCUSE FOR NOT PRODUCING THE PART. NO ONE AT GM KNOWS MORE THAN I ABOUT HOW THE CORONAVIRUS HAS AFFECTED OUR DAILY LIVES. GM REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART OR A LOANER VEHICLE! THEY HAVE OFFERED A RENTAL CAR ARRANGEMENT WHERE I WOULD BE CHARGED $240.00 PER MONTH. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, THEY ARE TAKING FOOD OFF OF MY TABLE. IN ADDITION THEY REFUSE TO PUT A HOLD ON MY LOAN FROM GM FINANCIAL!. IT IS NOW 5 MONTHS THAT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY CAR REPAIRED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS DISMAL SITUATION ASAP. [XXX], RNC, BSN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL BETWEEN 35 TO 40 MPH, GOING UP A SMALL INCLINE, THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE RATTLES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT 5 TIMES BY DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO THE HIGHEST GEAR FOR FUEL ECONOMY. I DO NOT BELIEVE BUICK WOULD MAKE A VEHICLE THAT RATTLES AT 35 TO 40 MPH. GOING INTO MANUAL 5TH GEAR STOPS THE RATTLING, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE "BRAKE ASSIST" LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND HAD NO BRAKES, THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKES WHEN SLOWLY PUMPING THEN PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THAT WARNING WENT OFF AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE "BRAKE ASSIST" LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND HAD NO BRAKES, THEN HAD LIMITED BRAKES WHEN SLOWLY PUMPING THEN PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THAT WARNING WENT OFF AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON. I THEN HAD ABOUT 85% BRAKES.THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE DEALER AND GM CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. THE 2ND TIME I WAS ON A STREET IN TOWN AND THE 3RD TIME I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY IN A SUBDIVISION, AFTER THE CAR HAD NOT MOVED FROM FRIDAY TO SUNDAY.
