Sorento 2200

Every time I have asked the garage to repair the fault they tell me it is the tires and that I need new ones! Well, have got new ones and no change with the jerky ride. They also said they all need to be the same and if I got a puncture in one, which couldn't be repaired, I would have to get 4 new matching ones to stop the fault! If this is the case I can't see anyone buying this car.

I have been a mechanic all my working life and to my mind it is the sensor which tells the car when to go into 4 wheel drive that is faulty as the car is trying and failing so causing the bumpy ride. The garage has never suggested this as a remedy and seems fixed on it being the tires. I have reported it three times and only the very last time did the mechanic take the vehicle out to feel the fault for himself The ride is getting so bad it is making my wife car sick if we do any long journeys.
