I HAD TAKEN MY 2003 H2 HUMMER TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED AND 2 NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE FRONT . I COMPLAINED TO THE TIRE DEALERSHIP THE MOMENT I HAD DRIVEN MY VEHICLE MAYBE 10 MILES OF IT NOT DRIVING RIGHT . I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF IT NOT DRIVING RIGHT. THINKING MAYBE THEY DID NOT TIGHTENED SOMETHING BACK UP WHEN THEY DID THE ALIGNMENT . I HAD ONLY DRIVEN MY VEHICLE APPROX. 5 TIMES (4 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLAINTS)AND THE 5TH TIME I DROVE IT . I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT I LOST ALL CONTROL AND MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED . IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NITTO GRAPPER HAS RECALLED TIRES AND THIS WAS THE BRAND OF TIRES THAT WAS PUT ON MY VEHICLE . THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT AFTER THE CRASH AN THIS IS ONE OF THE REASON THE TIRES ARE BEING RECALLED . I BELIEVE IT WAS EITHER THE TIRES OR THE ALIGNMENT NOT PROPERLY BEING DONE THAT CAUSED MY CRASH . *TR
