Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 TIRES

Tire pressure monitoring system was problematic for years. the display would light and message center would indicate all tires were low when none were by check of accurate gauge. this problem has finally been addressed at least temporarily. check engine lights stay on. vehicle has been to shop and dealer on multiple occasions. tests have been run and the codes reset, to no avail. the check engine light is on and vehicle performance seems normal, however, the warning light remains useless for any "real" problem. please consider the low mileage (currently 18,224) when considering problems. *tr

We went on vacation and got a hole in the tread of the front passenger side tire on june 3, 2008. we got it replaced, and blew out the front driver's side tire on june 5, 2008. we got two new tires and put them on the rear and moved the old tires to the front. on june 18, 2008 we got another hole in the driver's side tire. we got rid of the first two tires, but still have the two we moved to the front. *tr

No crashes or injuries. on the indicated date i had the engine turned off with the keys in the ignition, listening to the radio. after a short time approximately 10 minutes, i discovered that the car battery was completely drained. i have been careful not let these incidents occur again but it has repeated at least 6 times. the most recent time was when i had a flat tire replaced and the tire service tech attempted to reprogram the tire pressure monitor system at which time, the battery was drained immediately. the reprogramming was impossible because the battery would not provide electricity to complete the tpms. i followed the owner's manual's instructions' and had the same results, a dead battery and unsuccessful attempt. i now have a useless tpms and the danger of getting stranded with a dead battery. the dealership offers to attempt to fix the problem starting at $99.00 +. a new vehicle should be free of these types of defects. i should not be paying for the repair. *tr

The treadwalls on the outside of the tire at the top slits and loss air. this is unrepairable. this is the 2nd of 4 tires with the same issue. the 1st we were standing outside and the truck was parked and we heard a pop and then heard air coming from the tire. this time we were traveling and the instrument panel sensed the loss of air and alerted me and we pulled off the interstate just in time to avoid an unforeseen accident. i had 8 people including myself in the vehicle at this time. *tr
