Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving to maryland to visit my daughter, the right front end of my car began to vibrate so hard that i thought i had a flat tire. i was going about 65 mph and as soon as i could i pulled over to look at the car. there was no flat however, the vibration continued. it was vibrating so hard my glove compartment came open. i took the car to a dealership in maryland only to be told that my tires had dead spots in them and i should return them to the store. i have been driving on these tires for six months without a problem. when i returned home i went to the store where i purchased the tires. they examined them and said there was nothing wrong with the tires. i had the car completely checked out by the dealer before i took this trip. they told me there was nothing wrong with the car. the vibration continues but it is especially bad when driving a higher rates of speed. i am worried now about taking the car on trips. believe me, you do not want to have a sudden breakdown or control loss on the dc beltway. although the car is 4 years old i only have 29500 miles on it. i should not be having major problems with so few miles on the car. *jb
