Holden Captiva 2011: Poor wheel alignment

Having read the complaints on Captiva wheel alignment I thought I would add my experience. In 45,000 km I went through two full sets of front and rear tyres, they were all scrubbed out on the inside. My Captiva pulled left as I drove out of showroom and warranty wheel alignments were only a temporary fix. Eventually all four wheels were visibly tilting inwards at the top, making it hard for Holden to deny there was a major problem. The company then fitted longer camber adjusting bolts to all four suspension points, but this still wasn't the solution and over time the top of all four wheels could again be seen tilting inwards. In my experience, the Captiva has a suspension design fault and Holden should be aware of it.

We have certainly had a lot of complaints about the Captiva pulling to the left and wearing tyres out prematurely. We have taken the issue up with Holden before, but will do so again now that we have had so many complaints.
