Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING IN HUNTSVILLE, AL ON CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY WHEN I'M TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AND THE COLUMN APPEARS LOOSE. THE BRAKES ARE STICKING AND REQUIRES ME TO PUSH DOWN HARD TO STOP MY VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT LIGHTS AND BACK ENDS LIGHTS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO GO OUT FREQUENTLY. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES IN JUNE 2019 FROM BENTLEY HYUNDAI IN HUNTSVILLE, AL AND WHILE DRIVING THE TIRE TUBE POPPED AND DEFLATED. THERE WERE NO NAILS IN THE TIRE. THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TUBE. I ALMOST CRASHED.
