problem #1

Jan 112004

Neon 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles
Severe shimmy at speeds above 30 mph. Car is two years old with 18K and has only been serviced by the dealer. Was told by dealer that it needed tires rebalanced. Had tires rebalanced at 18,197 miles. 21K problem got worse, was told by dealer Goodyear tires were no good and needed brake rotors turned. Pads were fine, metallic pads cause rotor warpage in just a few miles. Repair estimate on a two year old car is $495. No warranty on brakes or factory tires.
