A complaint, kind of long but maybe I will feel better after typing.
So I bought a WRX recently (2 months ago) that now has 5000 miles. Anyway from when I first got it I noticed some vibration. The dealer intially changed the front axles, seemed to help a bit but then vibrated in the floor more than wheel. They rebalanced the tires under warranty and it did nothing. Next I take it back and they say it vibrates at 75 MPH+ but they cannot balance at that speed. Finally they tell me to take to a place with a Hunter Road force machine. Basically checks if rim and tire have emitting a force even though in balance.
The tire is considered bad by machine no adjustment possible. I call Subaru they say call Bridgestone. I ask the tire place I am at if they can address since they sell bridgestone, they are not authorized dealer.
Now off tomorrow morning to a Bridgestone dealer, and they do have the same thing done likely on the Hunter Machine Probably have to pay again although I did get a rotation "free" out of it. Hopefully a non-vibrating tire emerges, it drives me crazy everyday speeding at 70-75 mph on my commute.
