Some years ago, during their recovery phase, they were allegedly trying hard to be helpful. My wife's new Dodge wore out the front wheel bearings at 17K miles. They actually had the nerve to tell us "wheel bearings should average 60K, but some go early". To their credit, they picked up the cost of replacing the bearings under warranty, which in those days was only 12K miles. However, the front tires were hosed (the reason she had gone in in the first place... odd wear) and they said " we don't warrant tires, call the tire manufacturer". The tire manufacturer (of course) said "it's a mechanical issue, there was nothing wrong with the tires themselves". Catch-22, we ended up paying a couple of hundred dollars for new tires when it was entirely their fault. Bob
