 Description of the problemThe vehicle has not been in a accident as far as i know and i bought it new with approximately 15 miles on the odometer. I am the only owner. Since the day i drove it off the lot there has been a slight to severe shimmy in the steering wheel. Every time i brought it in they would balance the wheels and add half a wheel circumference of lead to one or more of the wheels. Two different service departments have told me there is nothing they can do it is what it is. It causes my tires to wear prematurely which the dealership blames on poor tire psi. I changed out the aftermarket 20" bbs wheels the dealership put on and put 18" wheels on thinking it may help and it didn't. I took it back to the dealership and they told me they cannot help since i put aftermarket wheels on which i responded bbs are aftermarket wheels. They agreed and said but we modify the suspension to work with the 20" bbs wheels. I've been getting this run around since i took delivery and all i want is to get the shimmy to stop and extend the life of my tires.
