TIRE IS RUBBING AGAINST FRONT PASSENGER'S RIM WHICH RESULTS IN A LOUD NOISE, AND MAY CAUSE A TIRE BLOWOUT. DEALER PLACED TALC POWDER IN TIRE SO IT WON'T MAKE NOISE, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, AND TIRE WAS STILL RUBBING AGAINST RIM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF PULSATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THAT WAS CORRECTED BUT STILL HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND THE PEDAL FEELS TOO LOW TO THE GROUND. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IN A REAL EMERGENCY THAT THE CAR COULD STOP IN TIME TO AVOID IMPACT. I'M CALLING THE DELEARSHIP TOMORROW TO HAVE FIXED BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *AK
