Consumer Description

I WENT THROUGH 3 SUPPOSEDLY NEW ALTERNATORS WITHIN ONE MONTH. DEALERSHIPS IN BOTH TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA DENIED ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATORS AND REFUSED TO REPAIR/REPLACE THEM AT NO CHARGE. I PAID FOR THREE ALTERNATORS IN ONE MONTH!!!! DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. ALSO, THE FIRST REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEW (I WAS CHARGED OVER $500 FOR IT) BUT AFTER IT FAILED AND WAS INSPECTED, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A REBUILT ALTERNATOR. WHY DID THE DEALERSHIP CHARGE ME FOR A NEW ONE, AND WHY WASN'T I REFUNDED ANY MONEY?!?! ALSO, I HAVE WILDERNESS HT P225/10/R15 TIRES. THEY ALWAYS SQUEAL WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS OR OVER SPEED BUMPS, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I AM GOING. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM? I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM. THANKS FOR THE HELP. *LA
