THE FRONTIER 2012 (NEW CAR) START LOOSING THE ALIGNMENT, THE DEALER WORKED THREE TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, CHANGES THE ORIGINAL TIRES FOR A NEW 4 TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. IN 17 MONTHS THE CAR DAMAGE 6 NEW TIRES CHANGED BY THE DEALER DUE MY COMPLAINTS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO ATTEND MY CAR ANYMORE NO MATTER THE WARRANTY CAR.
