“I noticed a vibration between 25-40 MPH. Dealer found belt separation and cracking. There are 5 or 6 other incidents of this on 1998 and 1999 Volvo cars at this dealership. This is a factory defect and safety issue and I am unhappy that continental made me pay a pro-rata amount of $25 for each tire they replaced. (DOT number: lmpdaxub tiresize: 205/65/15)”
