Complaint Description: there was a vibration and brake pulsation. the front rotors were inspected and were found warped. the dealer replaced the two front tires to eliminate the vibration in which the problem remained. the tires were changed 11 times in less than a year. the vibration remained and was most noticeable when the vehicle accelerated or on bends and remained throughout the range of driving speeds. the drive train was thought to be the problem per conrad's(service dealer). there also were dangerous fumes when the vehicle was started inside the passenger compartment, the fuel gauge had become inoperative, and there was premature rusting in the seams of the engine. *scc .
