| Description of the problem | I took my car to dealer due to excessive noise in front of car when driving. I thought it was a wheel bearing noise. Deal,er says noise is due to tire wear. Car only has 40,700 miles and there was a recall at around 12,000 miles when hyundai replaced all four tires with michelin tires "due to complaints of excessive road noise". My car has been regularly serviced at hyundai dealers. I told the dealer that it was impossible for michelin tires to wear out in less than 28,000 miles. I believe the car has a suspension design problem. The dealer refused to do anything about it. I called the hyundai factory line (dealer gave me phone number). Factory rep told me i would be contacted within a week by factory regional manager. I have not been contacted yet. I believe the car has a suspension geometry or design problem in the front end of car. No new car with less than 28,000 miles should wear out a set of tires unless something is wrong with the design or geometry. The fact that hyundai recalled the car when new (only 12,000 miles) to replace the tires tells me they know something is wrong. |
