| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving home from school on a major hig way when i heard an aweful noise coming from under my car, it sounded as if i was dragging something. i got off at the next exit and lookedf under my car but there was nothing there so i continued home. when i was back on the highway the noise started up again but this time my steering started to go. i immediatly brought it to the shop where they put it on a lift. the mechanics started to check shake each tire, when he got to the front drivers side the tire was very loose. according to the the threading on the bults that hold the rim on were stripped and the damage would run me about 200 per tire. one top of the new bults i needed new rims. they said my rims were to bent up. i have had my car for 3 years and have had my rims banged back into shape several times already. the shop says they are very weak rims and i need new ones, but that costs over a thousand. there was another incident with my rims as well. several months ago i was losing steering power so i got my car checked out, i needed to have my rims cut and shaved because there was to much wear on them. |
