Lancer

  • 7,500 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. In rainy weather conditions, the contact noticed water entering the vehicle through the driver side cabin. Also, the tires have premature tread wear. He took the vehicle to the dealer and a technician replaced all four tires and performed a wheel alignment. Several months later, the tire tread displayed abnormal wear again. He took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that they would have to realign the tires and replace all four again. The vehicle has not been repaired because the dealer cannot identify the cause of the failures. The failure mileage was 7,500 and current mileage was 19,000.
