| Wheel problems |
Vehicle cannot be safely driven – structural / suspension defect suspected – dealer claims “repair completed” despite unequal wheelbase my vehicle is currently unsafe to operate, due to the following critical issues: ? 1. Left–right wheelbase inconsistency the front and rear wheelbase measurements are not equal side-to-side. This is a strong indicator of structural deviation, such •subframe misalignment •control arm mounting point displacement •deformed suspension components •manufacturing or assembly error in chassis geometry ? 2. Front caster angles remain abnormal •left caster: 3. 9° •right caster: 4. 9° •cross-caster difference: 1. 0° a 1° difference exceeds manufacturer tolerances and causes: •vehicle drifting •poor straight-line stability •uneven steering return •potential instability during emergency braking this is a safety-related steering geometry defect. ? 3. Real-world driving confirms unsafe behavior the vehicle cannot maintain straight-line travel, the steering wheel is off-center, and the car exhibits instability at normal speeds. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. ? 4. Despite these unresolved issues, the dealership insists the vehicle is “repaired” and demands that I pick it up. They refused to provide frame measurement reports or explanation for the unequal wheelbase. Returning a vehicle with unresolved steering and chassis geometry defects constitutes unsafe vehicle delivery. ? conclusion based on unequal wheelbase, abnormal caster geometry, and inability to drive safely, this vehicle likely contains a structural or assembly defect. I formally request investigation, suspension geometry verification, and required action from the manufacturer, as this is a matter of public road safety.
