DRIVING RURAL ROAD @55 MPH. LEFT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. NO CONTACT WITH ROAD DEBRIS OR POTHOLES PREVIOUS. TPMS INDICATED 73 PSI IN UNLOADED VEHICLE. LOSS OF CONTROL WAS PROBABLE HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A CURVE OR WITH TRAFFIC OR RAIN. 3 OF 4 TIRES HAVE FAILED DUE BUBBLES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE NOBODIES LUCK IS THAT BAD.
DASHBOARD MADE A POPPING SOUND WHILE I WAS SITTING PARKED IN THE RUNNING VEHICLE. SMALL CRACK APPEARED JUST ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT TWO YEARS, THIS CRACK GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. AN ADDITIONAL CRACK HAS APPEARED IN THE FORWARD CORNER AROUND THE AIRBAG TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. BOTH OF THESE CRACKS ARE LARGE AND GETTING LARGER. THEY ARE IN THE SAME PLACE THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED CRACKS IN THESE VEHICLES. IT IS WOULD BE COME A HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE DASH WOULD MOST CERTAINLY CRACK FURTHER SENDING SHARDS OF PLASTIC THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE.
