Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 LR3 LANDROVER THAT IS PERPETUALLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE OF THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF THE CAR. THIS DEFECT CAUSES MY TIRES TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY FAST AND HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE COMPLETELY BALD TIRES ON THE INNER HALVES OF ALL FOUR TIRES. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE. THIS DECEMBER ANOTHER SET OF TIRES WAS BADLY WORN AND THE DEALERSHIP REALIGNED THE CAR MAKING IT MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM CAN VISUALLY BE SEEN BY LOOKING AT THE CAR. THE CAR WEARS THROUGH TIRES APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15,000 MILES. MY DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT FIX THE CAR. THERE IS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR INJURY DUE TO THE CAR NEVER STAYING IN ALIGNMENT AND THE EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE TIRES. *TR
