Tires wore out prematurely due to a faulty suspension on the rear. I have consistently had to replace tires early, costing me at least $2000 extra over the life of the car. I nearly crashed a few weeks ago on relatively new tires that had to be replaced again. Dealer said there was no fix and no problem. I have since learned they were lying to me, but the car is well out of warranty now.
At under 18,000 my vehicle is vibrating and I hear loud tire noise at highway speeds. Took my car to dealership and was informed that all 4 tires have excessive inner tire wear (cupping).
