TIRES
MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM HAS 11,000KM ON IT AND THE TIRES ARE DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER (CONTINENTAL) WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE ATTENTION BY BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE ALREADY 42 COMPLAINT FILES ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND IT SHOULD WARRANT A CLOSER LOOK. *NM
