| 2002 mercury grand marquis. consumer writes in regards to two sets of failed michelin hydroedge tires *tgw the consumer stated he as well as his passengers felt a slight shimmy in the car at low speeds. soon, afterwards the shimmy became percussively worse. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that at least one of the tires were separating and the vehicle was unsafe to drive. the repair shop stated the vehicle was properly maintained and that the tire wear was not normal. it was also stated that the tires were uneven around the circumference of the tires at the same distance in from the edge. the consumer also owns a 1995 mercury grand marquis with the same tire problem. *jb | |||
