My tires were black when i bought them at wittlins in menomonee falls, wisconsin in 2020. They have been continualy turning brown on the outside of tire. Now they are a beige color on the outside of tire. It seems the tires are aging terribly. I complained to wittlins a few times about tires discoloration and the manager keeps telling me the tires are wearing fine and said discoloration is normal. Maybe a little discoloration but not like this and i do not even live in a warm climate. 235/50r18/sl (tires)

2016 Buick REGAL
  • Date of Incident: Dec-13, 2021
  • Date complaint filed: May-19, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I purchased the 2016 buick regal used in 2021 with 40,000 miles. , it now has close to 70,000 miles. It’s still in well cared for mint condition, except for the driver side headlight. Condensation appeared and has been getting worse, dealership says the only option is buying another complete headlight assembly for $1200. 00. The led part of that headlight has stopped working. , it’s inevitable that the bulbs themselves with fail also. This is a safety issue. It’s absurdly cost prohibitive for me and most everybody else to spend that kind of money to fix a headlight.. , and $1200. 00 is the cost of the part alone, we’d be adding labor to that. This is a manufacturer defect that so many people are suffering with. They say we’re getting no relief from this because not enough people have filed complaints to the nhtsa. Gm should be compelled to provide this part to us at a much more reasonable price. I’m just a poor widower dad with a daughter in college. Thank you.
