Defective Product
We, husband and wife, purchased rims, tires, and warranty from the Sears Auto Service Center. After a couple of months, the tires started forming bubbles on the side. We were told about a better tire, paid the difference related to wear, and got the recommended tires. A few months later a tire started going flat. It appeared to have a slow leak because even though we put air in it, it would go flat a few days later. We took the tire back and were told that they couldn't find anything wrong. The tire was re-inflated and we were told that it should be fine. A few months later, the tire started going flat again. We toook the tire back and was told the there was trash in the bead. The tire was re-inflated and we were told that it was fixed. A few months later, the tire started going flat again. We took the tire back. When the service employees found out the problem, one of them said, "Oh, this free." Even though we purchased the warranty, it seemed like it was worthless. They weren't going to make any more money off of us so it wasn't important. We were then told that the rims were bent and there was nothing that they could do for us. We were told that there was no manager available. We went back the next day and spoke to the store manager. We left the car and waited on a call. When we didn't receive a call, we just went back to the store and we were told that the manager had left for the day. They gave us the keys and we asked if the tire was fixed. We were told that the manager said that there was rust in the rim, he filed it down and the tire was re-inflated. They told us that they think that it was fixed. A month or less later, the tire started going flat again. It takes a lot of time out of the day, time off from work, and effort to keep coming back to a store only to find out that the problem is still there. Each time, I hope they have found the problem only to be disappointed months later. I depend on my car to transport my two year old daughter and to get to work. I have had to leave my car at home to go to work because of a flat tire. We can't feel safe driving around town yet alone out of town. I made a complaint to another on line department and was responded to that the store manager would call us in two days. It has been a week and we still have not heard from him. This is not the service and quality that I had grown to know from Sears. We were faithful customers of Sears because we believed that the service, quality, and customer service was good. I purchased windows for my home, appliances, clothing, lawn equipment, household items, etc. from Sears. Now I am being treated as though my satisfaction means nothing. Can I please receive a response from someone that is going to help me.
