| Description of the problem | The car has been noisy since day 1. Dealer said it was not abnormal. Tire dealer said they saw no problem, except it appeared that the tires were feathering. On certain type roads, the car is just darned too noisy. I believe it to be the kumho, 17" tires that the limited model comes equipped with. I have almost 8,000 miles on it, now, since bought new in april, and it is not getting any better, only worse. Unendurable, actually. *tt |
