car alignment problem or not?

[vdo]

well, i bought a used car about 3 weeks ago...
i didnt really notice the car was pulling to the right in the beginnign.. well now it is apparaent that hte car pulls to the right.. esp at high speeds...

i had the dealer align the car twice.. and they said the alignment is ok and that the tire is producing a "radial pull" which is y it is thrown off...

at this point WHAT CAN I DO??? are tires under warranty? the sheet doesnt mention it.... i have directional tires so i can't swap em to see if they pull on the other side...

is the dealer responsbile for fixing this or can they neglect responsibility?

no warranty? Does the car have any warranty? tires? if none, then oh well.

car is under warranty... but are dealers liable for tires too??? the dealer is saying that they are not liable for tires... and at this point its just the mechnics that is saying that the tire is bad... i really have no idea if that is really the case...

you have to look at the warranty WORD FOR WORD. If it looks like it excludes tires, then out of luck. If it is vague, it can be reasonably to include everything.

I say get the better business bureau and department of consumer affairs involved and see what happens.
