NHTSA complaint #11088939, filed 2018-04, 14,000 miles“6 alignments with tire balancing, untold tire balancing on other occasions. The car vibrates at high speeds, my first set of tires wore out through to the steel belts on the inside at 32000 miles with a a good 1/4 in of the tread on the outside left on the front two tires. I've complained the first week I had the car and multiple times since. Not hung vivible has been found. The tire alignments and balancing to the new tires didn't touch the vibration. My fear is it's a control arm or other front end suspension issue or failure that's not visible.”
