2012 JEEP PATRIOT Wheels Problems

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY TIRE,ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WAS SEPARATING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FIRESTONE SO THAT MY TIRE COULD BE INSPECTED. ONCE INSPECTED BY ONSITE WORKERS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE HAD FAILED AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ONE. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES TO SHOW HOW MY TIRE SEPARATED. I STILL HAVE MY TIRE SO THAT I CAN SEND IT IN FOR FIRESTONE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE TIRE FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 50MPH AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO PUT TIN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT, IT DID NOT TURN OVER. I PUT IT IN PARK AND AFTER 3 TRIES IT STARTED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ON A SATURDAY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEY COULD NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG.

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE BOLT IN THE BALL JOINT BROKE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE AXLE ,BALL JOINT ,AND A-ARM. AFTER HAVING THE JEEP LOADED ON A FLAT BED AND TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR THE MECHANICS TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THAN ON THE BYPASS I HAD JUST DRIVEN AT WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70. IF IT HAD HAPPENED THERE IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEING THE JEEP WOULD HAVE BEEN UNCONTROLLABLE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY TALKS OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ? I AM HEARING THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS A LOT WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED PARTS BUT THE AFTER MARKET PARTS SEEM TO BE OK SO FAR. I AM SURE YOU ARE THINKING IT MUST BE MY DRIVING AND OFF ROADING BUT I ONLY DRIVE PAVED ROADS AND HAVE...

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I NOTICE THAT I HAD TO FILL UP THE GAS EVERY WEEK. AFTER A WHILE THE LOW AIR NOTIFICATION CAME ON. BASICALLY I FIND MYSELF ADDING AIR TO THE TIRES ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. SINCE I'VE DONE THAT I NOTICED I HAVE A LITTLE BETTER GAS MILEAGE. BUT I WANTED TO KNOW AM I ALONE WITH THE FAULTY TIRES OR ARE THEY LEAKING AND WHAT SHOULD I DO. DO I GO BACK TO THE DEALER? THEY ARE GOODYEAR BRAND OF TIRES. *TR
