| Description of the problem | One year and one month after buying the car new, all four tires were dangerously bald. Had to stop at the nearest tire store where i was told if i had run over a dime i probably would have had a blow out. These defective tires were the original tires on the car. I don't have a record of the tires and was given no warranty from the dealership at the time of the purchase. This experience cost me $ 434. Mileage on that day was 15,297 miles. *jb |
