NHTSA complaint #10578807, filed 2014-04, 77,000 miles“I had notice trouble not too long after I purchased the car in jan 2012 due the cars shimmy.

It wasn't until my father told me I better get new tires because the treads were about shot & the tires were bulging. I took it to a very reputable tire business where the mechanic told me there was no way he could put tires back on the rims as 3 of them were bent to hell. …”
