| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2002 s-60 awd in the fall of 2002, less than 90 days later i developed a vibration. the dealer could find nothing wrong. i took it to a reputable tire dealer and had an alignment as well as the pirelli tires balanced. i have had the vehicle aligned twice since purchase. i have had the tires balanced approx. 10 times. i have had two blow-outs, destroying one wheel. both blow-outs required a new tire. during all of this the vibration could not be corrected by either the local tire company nor the dealer. i was instructed to purchase new tires as one of the pirellis had sidewall separation and one had a bubble, the other two tires were relatively new as i had to purchase them after the blow-outs, my vehicle had less than 20,000 miles. i replaced the pirelli tires with top of the line nokians, the vibration was still there. i was then told my problem was the new tires!! i'm currently using a loaner s-60 and do not have final results yet.*ak |
