Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BECAUSE I FELT SOME SHAKING IN MY TIRES. I FIGURED IT WAS JUST IN NEED OF A TIRE ROTATION & ALIGNMENT.. TURNS OUT ITS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SUSPENSION ARM BARS. CONVENIENTLY I AM 4000 OUT OF MY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. I HAVE A 3RD PARTY WARRANTY THROUGH AMERICAN AUTO AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT THIS IS A PRE-EXISTING PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. SO NOW I AM LEFT TO PAY $1200 OR RUN THE RISK OF MORE DAMAGE BECAUSE I AM STILL DRIVING MY CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR & @ ONLY 40,000 I AM HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. *TR
