Description of the problem | I noticed that there was excessive tire wear on rear tires. At 20k miles the rear tires are almost bald 2/32 of tread left. There appears to be an alignment issue that dealer would not cover under warranty. I was told that alignment is only covered for first 12k miles. The front was aligned under warranty after a bad tire was found at scheduled service. It is so bad now that when you his a bump in the road the rear of the car jumps to one side. |
