| Description of the problem | Bought new toyota matrix 2 wheel drive in 2006. All four tires are worn excessively on the inside part of tire. Dealership says i drove the car therefore not their problem. Toyota says tires not their problem. Neither organization seems to think the car may have a manufacturing defect. After searching the internet i have found others reporting same troubles. I know am faced with buying 4 new tires having to get an alignment. And still not convinced the problem will go away. The problem may have been their when i bought the car. Both dealership and toyota want to blame me and the tire company. *nm |
