CLINTON After only two days our brand new car had to be towed back to the dealer with a front wheel at a 45 -degree angle. They said it needed a wheel alignment and this was looked after. All was well for three weeks, when, once againthe wheel was at the same 45 -degree angle, so this time they replaced a badly bent tire rim. The final straw was in early June when a hole was blown in the engine. This happened on the 401 and I had it towed to the dealer once more. He has replaced the engine but won't honour the towing charge. Why should I be stuck with this when ;if was through no fault of mine? • The dealership contacted the marlfac- turer and they have agreed to pay/for the tow. Ball & Match 1 LTD.

When the items arrived, the dresser was damaged. The replacement they sent was also damaged. So was the replacement for the replacement. The store assured me the next dresser would be inspected before it was shipped. The bill stated it had been, but it arrived looking as though it had been dropped. The right corner was splintered and the drawers couldn't be shut. Also, this dresser is un- finished, and we had ordered a painted one. The service charges are mounting while we still haven't received what we ordered. The fifth try succeeded. Our reader now has the dresser she wanted and is quite pleased with it. As for the service charges they've been dropped.
