Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 saturn l300. around 34,000 i noticed noises coming from my tires. i took the car to the dealer, which is still under warranty and they told me i needed a four wheel alignment and four new tires. this would not be covered under the factory bumper to bumper warranty and would cost me over 700.00. i never had to get a four wheel alignment this early on a car and i take car of my cars. i think this is insane, i called saturn in tennessee complained, they stated that tires and alignments are preventative maintenance. well how about that. i even paid the extra fees, included in my payments to cover oil changes and alignments. if there was a problem, they should have caught it when the car was being serviced. anyway, while doing research online, there are other cases of this out there, lots of them. check out www.saturnfans.com, www.automotiveforums.com and even this site, www.nhtsa.dot.gov. so much for people first. i plan to post this information on other forums. please let me know if anyone else is having this problem. gravis346@aol.com *jb
