| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: It seems that the bridgestone tires size 225/45r-17 on my new bmw form flat spots on the tires when the vehicle is parked over night. it takes about 5 miles or more depending on how cold it is [75 degrees or less] outside to finely begin to perform properly. the car shimmies and vibrates to the point that it is hard to control until the tires warm up. i had complained about this since the 2nd day after purchase. [june '05] bmw tried to make repairs after many phone calls and certified letters but it hasn't been fixed. now they tell me that they do not warranty tire problems take your complaint to bridgestone. the bridgestone tire dealers have all told me that they do not warranty the problem and that it is a bmw problem. i have been put in the position of each company blaming the other and no one wanting to address the problem. i cannot be the only person with this problem. an unsafe condition exists as you drive and the car wobbles, bumps and shimmies for the first few miles or more, because of the flat spots that form after parking for a time. *nm |
