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! *ak( 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!
Front end vibrates when driving at 65mph. Dealer contacted five times,. Stated normal driving condition, problem cannot be duplicated, problem still exists. Provide further information.
Vehicle shakes while driving.
Vehicle vibrates over 60 MPH. Two repair attempts have been made.
Due to non -tightening/missing of the lower ball joint nut by the manufacturer. While driving the vehicle the right wheel almost came off, causing loss of vehicle control, resulting in the consumer hitting a guardrail. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
