That doesn't sound good. I will bear this in mind. Thank you for the advice.

I went to the garage today to check the alignment as the first step. Unfortunately, I had to go to the same garage (reputable and privately owned) as there are no other options around me. They stated that there is no issue and provided me with a report, all work FOC. They mentioned that the problem might be related to the high suspension or somethink like this, but they couldn't determine it as they do not provide this type of diagnoses. I found it a bit suspicious that the car was there for quite a while, and I'm sure something was done because the car handles slightly differently, meaning better.

Around the same time last year, I contacted the authorized dealer as I thought the back suspension was not as it should be, slightly swinging, after diagnose etc they couldn't find anything.

I presume there were some issues with the DS suspension, as per the previous post. Is this a recall or would it be covered under warranty? or simply those models like that. I am not happy to change tires every 3 months.

Nothing mentioned apart fromt he shaling issue which requires checks and new hubs and the like I already mentioned in one of trhese trhreads, and the specific rear wheel tyre wear for E-tense versions with 19" wheels, but nothing listed under your DS7.
