| Description of the problem | Purchased 2011 toyota camry le new and the dealership serviced the tire maint. For 24k miles and it was cupping tires out at 15k they replaced them and 15k later cupped again they said it was out of alignment but they did alignment so what then, tried to file lawsuit and was turned down after toyota sent someone down to look at the car and said they found nothing wrong but since then every 15-20k miles new tires go on because they are cupped toyota said nothing was wrong now the car has 150k miles and i'm on my 7th set of tires, have used anything from a 80k miles yokohama down to the cheapest set of sumitomo tires and it doesn't make very much difference as to the mileage you get from a set, there have been over a dozen 4 wheel alighnments done and they have been balanced hundreds of times nothing helps. The car came from the factory with bridgestone turanza tires and they lasted 15k. On this set of tires that is on the car now i let the tire dealer take over the maint. And they roadforce balance and rotate every 5k miles and it hasn't helped any, the tires are cupped bad and they are at 20k miles now. I am changing all the struts and alignment again to see if this fixes the problem. |
