Wheel problem #1

Oil leak from engine constantly from front differential, rec cvt pump reseal with new trans seal, pump is leaking causing drips ; drain plug is also leaking. Need to replace front and rear pads & rotors at 35k miles which is unheard of. Accessed by suberu dealership.

Wheel problem #2

2021 Subaru Ascent with 15,735 miles on it with the factory falken tires. The tread and metal was showing and separating from the tires. 2 tires, original to the car off the lot. Tires should last 30-40-50 miles. The other 2 tires were labeled as a 4-5 category. The car did not steer to the left or right, no noise at all. If driving on the highway and 2 tires failed, I could have been injured, my passengers or another vehicle crash. This was very dangerous. In going to the Subaru website and seems hundreds of other customers had the same issue. Failing, inferior, defective falken tires and alignment issues. I hope these tires don't fail and cause someone to lose their life.
