General grabber hts belt slipped while traveling at normal highway speeds on aug 23, 2020. This is the 5th tire failure (Slipped belt) or this exact tire for this vehicle. This tire had 6,721 miles on it. General has a major problem with their 10 ply tires. Were it not for my understanding of how to detect a slipped belt, a severe accident could have occurred! Nhsta should perform a thorough investigation; as an engineer with excellent documentation, I could contribute valuable data.

1 of many issues with this van. 62000 miles. Rear brake line blew, luckily in my driveway. Upon inspection all the lines in the rear need replaced. Funny thing is the bottomside of the van is as clean as can be. I bought this van 2 years old with 24000 miles, I'm extremely picky about my vehicles and AM a maintenance nut. Always garaged, waxed numerous time a year, synthetic fluids..... Here is a list of what I remember has gone wrong with this van. Intake gaskets, twice. Front bumper reinforcement rotted out 40,000 miles, rear chrome bumper rotted 40,000 miles, AC line corroded thru…
