Consumer Description

2001 SATURN L200 - HEAVY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION/NOISE AND SEVERE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND MANY TIMES NOTHING WAS EVEN DONE, THERE HAVE BEEN 3 BRAND NEW SETS OF TIRES PUT ON BY THE DEALER OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AS WELL AS NEW FRONT END COMPONENTS AND 2 SETS OF ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. THE NEW TIRES ONLY LASTED APPROX. 5-6MOS BEFORE NEW ONES WERE NEEDED WITH THE TIRE BRAND BEING FIRESTONE. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE. A FOURTH SET OF TIRES WERE PUT ON WITH 1/2 PAID BY DEALER AND 1/2 PAID BY ME (PRO-RATED USE) ALONG WITH ANOTHER NEW SET OF ALIGNMENT SPECS. SO FAR IT APPEARS TO BE GOOD. HOWEVER, IT APPEARED AS SUCH EVERY OTHER TIME AND ALL THE WHILE THE WARRANTY CLOCK IS TICKING. *AK
