Wheel problem #1

My vehicles did not indicate that the tire pressure was low and it should tell me since it is certified used. There was no light indicator or anything and 2 of my tires were low. As a new car owner I had no idea and if it hadn't been for my partner I would have not known. This poses as a safety hazard and if the dealership knowingly did not check for this problem then that is negligent knowing this was a problem for this year make and model. It was stationary however I commute evey day.

Wheel problem #2

I was driving down the road and the tire blew out causing me to hit the center divider on the 101 on the driver side front tire which caused the cars ass end to also get scuffed up as will.

Wheel problem #4

Takata recall I have had my car for over 1 yr. I noticed that the driver's side front tire goes flat faster than the rest. One day when I was making a u-turn there was a noise and I could feel the car shake. I cannot to this day make a quick left u-turn. This loud noise has caused me to park and check on the car itself. My sister was in the car when it happened one day. She can attest to the noise. I took the car to the dealership here at hilltop and they drove the car and diagnosed it as fine. It is not fine.
