“2004 Volvo S60 r with 18 tires. Inside driver tire contacts inside driver tire wall. Wear will cause premature tire failure. Dealer has always maintained that this rubbing is not a problem. I have complained multiple times. I have photos of the tire damage. The side wall and corner tread is worn through to the steel belt and cord. I have been told that this is not due to alignment, but matches up with the rubbing of the tire well wall.”
NHTSA complaint #10182906, filed 2007-02, 27,250 miles“Late last summer, upon starting up my car, I noticed a hissing noise coming from the center panel on the dashboard.
