Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: From the outset, i have experienced constant, continued vibration from the front end of this vehicle, the dealer has balanced the wheels but refuses to try changing the wheels themselves...this is a safety issue as the vibration is rapidly and excessively wearing the front tires, and the vibration is worst between 50-60 miles per hour, a different dealer admitted to wife that the company knows of the wheel/suspension defect but will not handle the matter- help please!
