I have only had my 08 STA for about 2 weeks. Since day 1 there has been a vibration that sometimes becomes violent at the front end. I picked it up in Arkansas and drove it to California. When I arrived here I put on aftermarket wheels and tires.
Yesterday I took the truck into the dealership and explained to them the whole story. 2 weeks old. Always vibrates. Wheels are (obviously, look at the them) new.
They sit on it for 2 days and then call me up and say that its not likely anything that needs to be replaced will be covered under warranty because all the suspension up front is negatively affected by my aftermarket wheels. Seriously? At 75 MPH and above, the truck shakes so bad that its almost impossible to control. Common sense shows the rims and tires are brand new. The truck only has 18000 miles in the first place.
I didnt want to argue with the guy on the phone, I guess its still possible that it will be covered but he called as a bearer of bad news. And to make it worse, his initial reaction to my question about the tranny bump in first gear "probably the wheels as well".
WTF MAN?????
