What owners wrote
Vehicle has experienced massive vibration with cause still unknown .after several tire changes and parts, such as bushings and steering rod. This vibration reoccurs always after each additional 500 miles. Firestone tires, size 5519515. Please describe details.
Continuous cupping of rear tires due to an engineering defect. Shims placed in rear of car. The cupping has continued causing dangerous wearing of the tires at one point, the tread was beginning to separate from the core after a highway trip. Saturn told me that they corrected the problem with the shims. The fourth set of tires in 90,000 miles is now placed on the car because on the continuing cupping.
