I was in an accident six weeks after I purchased my Montero. Stuart Lincoln-Mercury, who is an authorized dealer, repaired my Montero. My front end was supposed to be aligned. At 6400 miles, I had my tires rotated, and I saw that the tires on the passanger side were wearing as if they were out of alignment. I took my Montero back to the shop to have it checked. I was told they aligned my front end while my vehicle was being repaired for the accident. I was told that mitisubishi uses cheap tires, and that is normal wear. I aso had tire kingdom, (a certified yokohama representitive) evaluate my tires. They said the front end must be out of alignment. Again, I went back to Mitsubishi, and again, I was told that there was nothing wrong with my alignment. I'm afraid, if this is true, I will have to be replacing my tires every 6400 to 10,000 miles. I was also told that they have seen this happen on these Monteros. I believe, if my tires are going to wear like this, there has to be a more serious problem with my vehicle. Please help me!( dot number: Fbefm43287 tire size: 265/70R15 )

From the outset, I have experienced constant, continued vibration from the front end of this vehicle, the dealer has balanced the wheels but refuses to try changing the wheels themselves...this is a safety issue as the vibration is rapidly and excessively wearing the front tires, and the vibration is worst between 50-60 miles per hour, a different dealer admitted to wife that the company knows of the wheel/suspension defect but will not handle the matter- help please!
