TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION X 3 TIMES. TIRES HAVE BEEN COMPUTER BALANCED LAST THURSDAY AND I TOOK SUBURBAN IN FOR A CHECK TODAY AFTER SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. I COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE VIBRATION WITH THE SERVICE FORMAN IN THE CAR. THE FRONT END VIBRATION HAS STOPPED NOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADJUSTMENT FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION SINCE IT IS A FIRESTONE TIRE THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN RECALLED LAST YEAR. MY TIRES DO NOT HAVE THE RECALLED SERIAL NUMBERS ON IT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH TERRY CULLEN CHEVEROLET SERVICE. BUT CONCERNED ABOUT THE VIBRATION IF IT RETURNS AGAIN. COULD THIS BE A NORMAL PROCESS FOR THESE TIRES?*AK

AT THE LAST RESORT STOP OPEN HOOD AND TAP ON WIPER MOTOR HOUSING NEXT TO WIRRING HARNESS WOULD CAUSE THE WIPERS TO RESUME WORKING. BUT YOU COULD NOT EVER BE SURE WHEN THEY WOULD STOP AGAIN, 60 SEC., 2 MIN., OR WORK FOR THE REST OF THE RAIN STORM.*AK
