| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have run flat tires on my 2005 sienna (purchased october 2004). i also bought a set of winter tires & rims) in december 2004 and since then i am alternating them 6 months of the year. have currently 21,000 miles on my vehicle. the dunlop tires are almost worn out, although i probably put on them mo more than 12-13,000 miles. part of the reason i believe is that when i bought the car(even when i test drove it) i noticed a rough ride and a pull to the left, but could not wait for the dealer to order another car, so i took it home (i bought it from a dealer out of town). also i was blaming the tire thread geometry for the rough ride, and the dealership offered me to change the tires for the cheaper ones bridgestone, but i had to pay like $80 for the operation, so i decided not to. the rough drive continued until i decided to take it to my local dealership who found out that it was misaligned. the did a free alignment but the car would still pull to the left. this, i was told, was normal, since the tires had been worn unevenly, so now they had to get the normal wear again. now the car no longer pulls, but this comes a the cost of having excessively worn tires. i see that this is not an unique case. *nm |
