SUSPENSION
FROM TIME OF PURCHASE , MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING THAT HER VEHICLE IS WOBBLING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX, BUT THEY SEEM AT A LOSS AS TO WHATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. OUR 6TH TRIP TO THE DEALER WILL BE THIS MONDAY, JUNE 28,1999. I SPOKE WITH DENNIS TAGGE, SERVICE MANAGER AT PALM AUTO MALL, HE STATED THAT THE TIRES MAY BE SLIPPING ON THE RIMS AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. HE HAS DECIDED THAT SANDING THE RIMS AND\OR ADDING SOME FORM OF NONSLIP COMPOUND MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I 'M NOT AS CONFIDENT AS HE THAT THIS WILL RESOLVE IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. EACH TIME WE TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE DEALER, THEY REBALANCED THE WHEELS IN HOPES THIS PROBLEM WOULD DISSAPPEAR. WE ARE ON OUR SECOND AND A HALF SET OF TIRES AND YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO THEM THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE WHEELS THEMSELVES AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY SEEM RELUCTANT TO DO THIS. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALOT MORE OF THIS, PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 30X9.5R15 )
