| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car was delivered on june 4th 2000. from the time i drove off the lot the vehicle slightly steered towards the right. i was told by different dealer service departments it was either the tire pressure or the crowning in the roads. i asked ogner motors in woodland hills to rotate the tires and perform further evaluation. they found one of my tires to be defective. apparently the sidewall of the tire in question failed. they are awaiting a replacement tire form the manufacturer...i am concerned about the other three tires on the vehicle considering i have heard numerous report via audiworld.com that these tires are extremely sucseptible to sidewall (bubbles) failure.*ak (tiresize: 225/45/17)( dot number: tire size: 225/45/17 ) |
