A FEW DAYS LATER, SHE FELT A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE TIRE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS. IN MARCH OF 2008, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A TUNE-UP AND NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO THE TIRE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED TWO MORE OF THE TIRES. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, THE TIRE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL DRIVE "ROUGHLY" DUE TO THE ROAD.
