Tire problem #1

The problem with the window was reported yesterday 11/12/1999. I forgot to add that it may not cause safety problems now but months down the line and depending on the temperatures, the seepage of the sealant can cause the seal around the window to be ineffective and ultimately cause water to enter through the cabin area. When that happens it could cause shortage and risk to major components. The problem with the tires are that they showed pre-mature uneven wearing on the outer treads of all tires at approximately 1,500 miles. This wearing can be hazardous during wet driving conditions as the grip of the tires to adhered to the road can be limited. I reported 3 tires/failures because I had to replace one original because of a flat that was unrepairable. ( dot number: 284 tire size: p15580r13 ).

Tire problem #2

Original tires fail prematurely/flat, premature wear showed at 1,500 miles. Yh.
