Unhappy

Dude, the exact same thing happened to me but I suspect the problem was there before I took possession of the car from the dealer.

I got a low pressure warning the day I took the car out of the dealer and told them about it right away. I brought the car back & they say they pulled a nail from the rear right tire. The warning light continued to show up even after the repair.

I took it back and they told me they patched the same tire. Despite this the tire continued to loose air. I took the car to a different dealer and they told me that the leak was coming from that same patch & the tire should be replaced because of low thread.

I'm kind of pissed cuz, I shouldn't have had this problem from day 1 & now after only having the car for 4 months I need to replace the rear right tire? This is some BS. This now means I have to replace both rear tires.

Granted the car had 8k on it when I picked it up & I added another 8k to it. I only use it for highway driving to work twice a week & weekend driving, No track racing yet .... should this tire have gone low so quickly? I am going to the dealer later today regarding this.. I believe that tire was defective from day 1. Now I am forced to replaced both tires because of this. I feel the dealer should replace that least 1 tire.. ( I will pay for the other) Do u guys think I have a case?
