Dealer states it may be due to needing alignment or defect in frame. Will not honor bumper to bumper 5 year 60,000 mi warranty. Refuses to pay for alignment or to see if it is a frame problem. Will not reimburse for tires, even though the tire dealer stated the measurements and how it was not right to have them that bald. Buying the car brand new-I now am afraid to drive it.
