| Purchased my 05 in May, 2005. Right rear tire blew out (allegedly due to road hazard). Replaced tire. At 7500 mile maintenance, tires were rotated. Since then, the vehicle now seems to pull to slightly to the right while accelerating regardless of the speed. Dealer says nothing wrong with the vehicle. All they can do is to return the tires to their original positions (prior to the rotation). Any similar circumstances or suggestions ? |

Do I understand correctly that it pulls ONLY during acceleration? If so that does not seem like tires to me.
You can try replacing the wheels to their original position and see if that helps.
Did you check to see if the replacement tire was the same size as original?

| I would try a 4 wheel alignment. Especially after a tire blow out, which may of caused the alignment to go off. I went outside the dealer for the alignment for a 4 wheel computer alignment which alot of dealers don't have the machine or some send the vehicle out to another shop for the alignment |

| Yes, problem arises only during acceleration. Did not seem to notice veering prior to tire rotation. Dealer replaced tires rear to front on the same side for each tire. Replacement tire was the same Cross Terrain that came with the vehicle. Right rear tire blew out at about 6000-6500 miles. Dilemna is whether to wait and see, after a few hundred miles of wear, if the problem self corrects or have tires returned back to origiinal position (although I will have to have them rotated at 15k). Thanks for the input, guys. |
