Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle had a severe vibration problem when delivered in april. a wheel alignment was performed at 125 miles. now, at 3750 miles the problem returned but much more pronounced. at 45 mph it felt like a flat tire or a wheel was loose. the dealer informed me that the two front tires were defective and had to be replaced. on my way home i experienced a slight vibration and noticed the car pulling to the right. i returned to the dealer and they swapped tires from right to left. how will this impact my vehicle when i next rotate my tires? the vibration problem still exists. i am fearful that this vehicle is unsafe and, once again, will return to my dealer for a solution. tires are continental p235-55r17 which the nhtsa site does not have as an option when filling out the "component" section of this report. *nm
