Consumer Description

WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN CAR STARTED TO FLOAT SIDE TO SIDE. SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT SO I SLOWED DOWN. IT SEEMED TO BE MANAGEABLE BUT STILL FELT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. WE PULLED OFF TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD BEEN CHEWED UP AND WAS NOW FLAT. THE LEFT TIRE ALSO HAD SLIGHT WEAR MARKS. THIS WAS UPSETTING SINCE THE TIRES WERE ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD AND I HAD THE DEALERSHIP DO A FULL ALIGNMENT. WHEN TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, HE INFORMED US THAT WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE IT WAS ON THE LIFT HE SHOWED US THAT ONE SECTION OF THE SUB-FRAME (ENGINE CARRIAGE) WAS TOTALLY SEVERED.
