| Description of the problem | Excessive premature tire wear on a 2006 bmw 330i. I have made numerous complaints to the dealer and they say they are working on a fix or a tire replacement but that i should continue to drive. This has been going on for 2,000 miles and it has progressively gotten worse. I drive my 3 year old son to day care and i really would like to feel safe while driving him. Having given the dealership over 2 months to correct the problem i feel it is time to look into other avenues to get a resolution. *jb |
