this problem? History: Been aligned plenty of times, Factory installed tires wore out in 5k miles. Put new ones with harder rubber-wore out in 6k miles. No one can find the problem.
The dealer is saying it's my driving that is doing it-stop and go (newspaper delivery) But I had another vehicle in which it never did this.
The other independant shop that has been been helping me-says it has to be something else and found on the TSB board the Aveo has 3 differant settings for the alignment-dependant on the load I carry.
The dealer is still holding strong-I believe I have a lemon-so now I am going to another dealer to get a third opinion.
Does anyone have any insight why this would happen so quickly and what might be the problem except an alignment problem-becasue it seems always to be in alignment.
Ok- the tire wear rate is not the same-Back end is fine-it's the LT front 1rst then RT front. It doesn't pull to the side. From what I hear-no camber/Caster adjustments. Haven't hit any curbs. I will have the shop look at the bolts and I don't believe a shop has done that diagnostic-I will have them check. Also when the brakes get hot-it pulls to the left side.
If Dodgeman, Kcsakary, and Rsqur look at this question-Please contact me
Thank you
Tire pressure is fine-Been filled with Nitrogen (doesn't have a heat factor or air leakage)
I don't hot rod around-I take very good care of it.
Both were front wheel drive-1 a van and this is a car. I drive very carefully.
The big guys at Chevy have been notifies and that is why I have the question on here to get possibly some answers to give to the dealers repair shop and to see if I am the only one havin the problem (which I see I am not.
