TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE CALIBER. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED OCCASIONALLY THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SWAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.

HOWEVER THE CONTACT IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AT 3000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 35600.

I TOOK MY CALIBER IN FOR SOME WARRANTY WORK. THEY FOUND THE LEFT STRUT WAS BAD. THEY ORDERED THE PART. I WENT BACK IN THE NEXT WEEK FOR THE STRUT AND ALIGNMENT. WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING BACK FROM THE ALIGNMENT PLACE, THEY HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY CAR. THEY FIXED IT. I HAVE SINCE THEN BROUGHT IT BACK TO A ROAR IN THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES WERE BAD. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT AND THEY SAID NO. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT, AGAIN NO. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ALIGN A CAR WITH BAD TIRES. THEY HAVE MADE NO DEAL FOR ME IN THIS MATTER. THE TIRES DID NOT GO BAD IN A MATTER OF A WEEK. *TR
