| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was in an accident six weeks after i purchased my montero. stuart lincoln-mercury, who is an authorized dealer, repaired my montero. my front end was supposed to be aligned. at 6400 miles, i had my tires rotated, and i saw that the tires on the passanger side were wearing as if they were out of alignment. i took my montero back to the shop to have it checked. i was told they aligned my front end while my vehicle was being repaired for the accident. i was told that mitisubishi uses cheap tires, and that is normal wear. i aso had tire kingdom, (a certified yokohama representitive) evaluate my tires. they said the front end must be out of alignment. again, i went back to mitsubishi, and again, i was told that there was nothing wrong with my alignment. i'm afraid, if this is true, i will have to be replacing my tires every 6400 to 10,000 miles. i was also told that they have seen this happen on these monteros. i believe, if my tires are going to wear like this, there has to be a more serious problem with my vehicle. please help me! *ak( dot number: fbefm43287 tire size: 265/70r15 ) |
