| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: From the day we bought the truck there was a loud noise coming from one pair of our tires. as we rotated them at each 5k mile intravels the noise would move with them. we took the truck to the frontier toyota dealer in valencia for service on 7/13/00. they charged us for a tire rotation and balance and alignment. afterwards the noise was unbearable and the truck developed a extreme vibration and shimmy. the tires were on the verge of disintegrating. we again returned the truck to frontier toyota who replaced the two (2) subject tires. the problem disappered. our truck is currently running smoother than when we originaly purchased it. all of the associated squeaks and noises from the vibration has also disappeared. we are displeased that the dealer should have known about the tire recall for similar tires and yet chose to charge us for an unneccesary alignment. we believe that there are serious defects in many more tire sizes than have been recalled and ask that you investigate the entire product line of tires from firestone.( dot number: w29v tire size: p265/75r15 ) |
