Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)MY TIRES KEEP GOING FLAT- 2002 MAZDA 626. THE FIRST FLAT TIRE WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE MECHANIC WHO CHANGED IT OUT FOR ME POINTED OUT THAT MY TIRE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE (NO HOLES) BUT ALSO LOOKED LIKE MY TIRES ARE LEANING "IN"- WHICH IS PUTTING THE WEAR/TEAR ON THE INSIDE THREADING, THUS WEARING OUT FASTER (ALL THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR LEANING ON EDGE OF TIRES). SECOND FLAT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THRID THIS WEEK, BEING TOLD THE SAME THING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ALIGNMENT. I DO NOT NEED AN ALIGNMENT. . HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP YET- AND REALLY DO NOT WANT TO AFTER THE MESS THEY PUT ME THROUGH WITH PURCHASING THE CAR. I DO NOT WANT MY TIRES REPLACED, BUT I DO WANT TO KNOW IF MY FRAME IS BUILT INCORRECTLY, OR ANY OTHER REASON THIS MAY HAPPEN. I ALSO HAVE THE SQUEAK NOISE WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL.*AK
