| Description of the problem | I leased this vehicle end of september 2016 but have replaced tires 6 times within last two years due to bubble in side of the tires. I don't think it is issue with tires since i have 2016 bmw with same tires without any issues. It could the rim size or the suspension on this vehicle cause tires to bubble up. I have been leasing cars for 30 years and never had issues like this. Numerous time i have asked the dealer to find out the root cause for it but no luck so far. The issue here is it putting myself and my family danger of our life because it is happening without even going thru a pot hole. Each time when it happened, it is causing me to spend 350 to replace each tire. The transmission also failed last week while i was driving on a highway but lucky i was able to pull to a side without getting hit by another car. The transmission should not fail when the car only have 37,000. 00 miles. I am not sure if any other complains was files regarding the same issues. I want benz to replace these tires at free of cost till they find out the issue and fix it. |
