NHTSA Complaint #10537579 — 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA

UPPER CONTROL ARMS FAILED & WERE REPLACED 9/27/2012. THIS REQUIRED ANOTHER DEALER ALIGNMENT. FRONT TIRES THEN WORE OUT 6,200 MILES LATER. TIRES WORE DOWN TO METAL BELT CORE; COULD HAVE EASILY BLOWN OUT. I HAD 3 PREVIOUS DEALER ALIGNMENTS AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER IN APRIL 2013 THERE IS NO MORE CAMBER/CASTER ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE, MY CAR IS "OUT OF SPECS", THAT I NEED A $650 AFTERMARKET CAMBER ADJUSTMENT KIT. DEALER TOLD ME TO ROTATE TIRES EVERY 3,500 MILES WHICH IS MUCH SOONER THEN THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED 7,500 MILES. I WAS TOLD TIRES WILL LOSE 50% OR MORE OF TREAD LIFE. MY APRIL 17, 2013 DEALER ALIGNMENT FAILED, COULD NOT BE DONE. I HAD DEALER ALIGNMENTS SEPT 26, 2012 (WITH NEW UPPER CONTROL ARMS), JAN 22, 2010, JULY 29, 2010, JULY 29, 2009. I HAVE GOOD PHOTOS OF THE SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE, STEEL BELTING CLEARLY VISIBLE. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE DETAILED REPAIR RECORDS FROM THE DEALER. *TR
