Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Have owned a 2005 chrysler t&c for 7 months since may 2006 and the bridgestone turanza el42 tires have experienced abnormal outside edge tire wear as well as severe abnormal vibration when accelerating. vibration is felt in gas pedal, seat and steering wheel. had tires rotated/balanced/alignment check and 5 separate service garages look at vibration issue but no solution. chrysler dealer told me back in july 2006 they did not feel the vibration but every other person that has driven vehicle feels the abnormal vibration and this is a serious safety issue. tires also have had "indentations/lines" in all tires since i bought the vehicle new with less than 200 miles on it. i now have 8,200 miles on vehicle and am concerned about reports of dozens of other complaints about tire failure/blow out as valid registered complaints. i would like to replace these tires with another brand but not at my expense since it should be a tire manufacturer safety issue. tire size is 215/65r16 even though the pull down box did not let me select my correct size. *nm
