Consumer Description

THERE ARE 3 MEMBERS OF THIS FAMILY, USUALLY ONLY 2 ARE IN THE CAR AT ALL TIMES. THIS TIME, WE HAD 2 EXTRA PASSENGERS IN THE BACK PLUS THEIR CAR TIRE THAT NEEDED REPAIR IN THE TRUNK. WE WERE DRIVING AND HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD, NOT A BIG ONE, AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE RUBBED AGAINST THE CAR. IT IS NOT THE SHOCKS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HOLD UP THE CAR, ONLY TO ABSORB THE SHOCK. THE TIRE HAS MARKINGS LEFT BEHIND WHERE IT RUBBED. THAT IS A SUSPENSION ISSUE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 4 WEEKS. THE SALESMAN TRIED TO CONVINCE ME IT IS A NORMAL THING ON ALL VEHICLES. I WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY. *TR
