Consumer Description

TOYO VERSADO LX FOR 2003 FORD TAURUS. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I HAD THEM INSTALLED. THE SHAKE STARTED OFF SLIGHT, AND OVER TIME HAS PROGRESSED TO DANGEROUS LEVELS WHERE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO 5 DIFFERENT FRONT END SHOPS SEARCHING FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE FOURTH FINALLY PIN POINTED THE TIRES. I WENT BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES, AND NEITHER THE SHOP OR TOYO WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE SHAKE IS NOW SO EXTENSIVE I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO FEAR OF DAMAGING THE STEERING OR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN IN, A ROAD FORCE BALANCE IS PERFORMED, BUT DOES NOT COMPLETELY REMEDY THE PROBLEM. EVEN THE SO CALL FRONT END "EXPERT" SAID IT WAS THE TIRES. THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL I SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY NEW TIRES. *TR
