No, but I could feel that something wasn't right. I did not have a blowout but could continue to drive (18" wheels in NY are a good idea). I am very sensitive to wheel imbalance or anything like that. This did not feel like wheel imbalance, but I knew something was off. I thought the alignment had been knocked out of adjustment. The dealer thought so too, until they tried to realign and could not get it to align in specs. Then they examined more carefully and found the bent component. Your situation sounds way different, and your dealer way different. If the SA was outright lying, that sounds like fraud. At some point you may have to go into detail (not here).
