NHTSA Complaint #743438 — 1994 CHEVROLET LUMINA

NOTED ON MAR7TH BY MECHNIC FLAT SPOT OR AS HE PUT IT THE TIRE WAS OUT OF ROUND AND WEARING VERY WRONG. HE STATED CAR WAS IN GOOD ALIGNMENT. SO HE RECOMMENDED WE TAKE IT BACK TO ORIGINAL DEAL WE HAD PUT ON THE TIRES. MAR.8TH TAKEN TO TIRE SHOP THEY ROTATED 3 FO THE TIRES AND LEFT THE BAD ONE IN PLACE. MAR 21ST BACK TO OUR MECHANIC WHO AGAIN CHECKED ALIGNMENT PER TIRE SHOPS SUGGESTION. OUR MECHANIC ALIGNED CAR BUT SAID THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. SO HE MOVED THE TIRE TO THE BACK AND PUT ON A CAM BOLT TO HELP KEEP IT RIDING AS SOOTHE AS HE COULD. MAR 22ND CALLED GOODYEAR IN CINNCINNATI AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM, THEY RECOMMENDED WE TAKE IT BACK TO TIRE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT AGAIN. THE Y SUGGETED THE TIRE SHOP CHECK ALIGNMENT AGAIN. APPT. SCHEDULED FOR MAR 26TH , APPT CANCELLED DUE TO DEATH IN FAMILY, RESCHEDULED FOR MAR 27TH. MAR.26TH RECEIVED A VERY RUDE PHONE CALL FROM CINNCINATTI STATING THEY HAD TALK IT OVER WITH TIRE SHOP AND WERE TOLD THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE EXCEPT THAT OUR CAR WAS INPOOR ALIGNMENT. I DON'T UNDERSSTAND THIS BECAUSE NOBODY AT THE TIRE SHOP MADE ANY THOUGHT OF THIS ON OUR FIRST VISIT TO THEM ON MAR8TH WHEN WE HAD ALREADY HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY OUR MECHANIC ON MAR 7TH AND NOTED THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. WE CANCELLED OUR APPT. FOR MAR 27TH IN ABSOLUTE DISGUST AND WE PUT ON MANY MILES ALREADY RUNNING BACK AND FORTH HAVING THIS CHECKED OUT. OUR HOMETOWN MECHANIC STILL BELIEVES THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO US.*AK (TIRESIZE: P205/60R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/60R16 )
