Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a bmw 330i in may 2006. shortly after purchase the tires were making noise. initially, the noise wasn't terribly objectionable, but it continued to worsen. i took the car to hendricks bmw in charlotte, nc ,and was told that the tires were cupping or feathering. they offered a 50% discount on the purchase of 4 new tires at 11,500 miles. i called bmw consumer affairs, and was told to contact bridgestone for a resolution of this problem. later, on the web i found bmw technical service bulletin sib 36 06 06 which addressed this specific problem. however, the information in this bulletin was not made available to consumers that purchased a vehicle with bridgestone turanza el 42 rft tires. bmw was still researching the problem. however, i am not optimistic they will address it.*ak |
