| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle is extremely sensitive to "tire steer". two of the original equipment tires (bridgestone) were replaced at 3000 miles, but the problem recurred. the entire set of tires were replaced with bf goodrich tires, but the same problem recurred. rotating the tires becomes problematic because the wrong switch exacerbartes the problem. the resulting "pull" indiactes the need for a wheel alignment when that is not the problem, or obscures the need at other times. the need to fight the wheel causes driver fatigue and could result in loss of control.*ak |
