Description of the problem | In year 2013 bought a brand new chrysler 300c 2013 zero mile for $45,000, i took the car to a chrysler dealer service center on daytona beach for oil change and i got told i need to replace all 4 tires. I ask them how can a 15,000 miles car will need new tires and they told me firestone don't give any kind warranty to the tires the sell to chrysler manufacture for brand new car and those was less quality to the tires they sell on the tires centers. We called the firestone and they told me the same thing no warranty on those new tires because the tires they sell to car's manufacture are less quality. And if i buy the firestone tires from any tire center i will get 50,000 miles warranty. Now i have to buy new tires but for sure will not be firestone and pay for on my new car with 15,000 miles only, yes i never saw new tires last 15,000 miles only. That is why i want to report this because don't know what kind tires chrysler is buying for new car with less quality what should have, chrysler and firestone are saving money giving to the consumer less quality of tires what can be danger because for a tire only last 15,000 have to be really bad quality material hey are using.. I'm sure those tires are not safe for no one. Thank you |
