I noticed 1 of the original tires that came on my new Subaru Legacy had a sidewall bulge. When looking at the wheel you could not see any makes to indicate I hit a pot hole or curb. About a month later I noticed another tire had the same issue. The dealership looked at the first tire and offered to replace it for free since it was under warranty when I reported it. Unfortunately when I saw the second tire the warranty had lapsed. While waiting for the tires to come in I did notice one of the bulges had doubled in size. In the time I saw it for the first time and replacing it I put no more than 300 miles on the car.
After purchasing my vehicle in November, my steering felt off in December. A couple weeks later my tire pressure light came on. I took my car in for service and there was a nail in my tire. Subaru repaired the tired. Upon leaving Subaru, steering continued to feel off. Pulling to one side constantly. I took the car in to Subaru again for a wheel alignment on January 23rd. They confirmed it was out of alignment and fixed it. The car drove great for 2 weeks and again it is off. Car is extremely hard to keep in the lane; if it is windy it is even worse. No matter if I am going under 30 or on the highway. The steering wheel does not align with the wheels again. I have driven the same route to work each day M-F for 5 years. There are no pot holes. It is a short commute however I am starting to feel unsafe driving. Do I take in the car again? I love the car but either the tire is bad or the alignment/steering is bad.
