2005 JAGUAR S-TYPE Tires Problems

VERY QUICK WEAR DOWN OF REAR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND REAR TIRES.

I PURCHASED 4 NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES FROM CHESAPEAKE JAGUAR IN COCKEYSVILLE MD. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES SEVERAL SINCE DAY 1. I WAS IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. [XXX] TOLD ME NOT COME BACK AND THAT CHESAPEAKE REFUSED TO SERVICE MY CAR. HE ALSO ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT PERFECTLY ROUND AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. IT'S NOW 11 MONTHS LATER AND I'VE HAD NO RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
