The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Uplander. The contact took her vehicle to a local tire shop for routine inspection and was informed that the tire tread was defective. The authorized dealer stated that they would not assume financial responsibility because the warranty had expired on her tires. In addition, because the vehicle was not driven frequently, the failure recurred. The tires have not been replaced. The failure and current mileages were 13,300.
