Glass in front of the moon roof exploded outward. Corners where collapsed inward. Traveling aprox. 50 mph. Clear sunny day. No traffic in front or behind. My first thought was flat tire. Glass was standing straight up with a 2 in gap in the center. The next one may completely leave the vehicle and cause an accident. Not looking for reimbursement. Paid by insurance. I think there was some sort of pressure on the glass to cause the damage making it a product defect.

275.35r19 96w Continental Procontact TX Between 12-15k miles I had my two front tires form sidewall bubbles. The first bubble resulted in a blowout. Now at about 24k miles I'm told by the dealer the tread on my rear tires is almost gone. One rear tire, also, loses air monthly. I drive mostly locally and my longest trips are not greater than 70miles. I park in my driveway rarely where anything can hit the sidewall. For four tires to fail at this mileage indicates to me there is a serious flaw with the manufacturing.

Whenever I make a prolonged right hand turn the steering wheel sticks in that position until it is MANUALLY returned to center. For example, taking an on-ramp than is a large ‘U’, the vehicle steering wheel ‘sticks’ in the turned position to the right. I can take my hand off the wheel and it stays there until it is forcibly turned back to center. This has been going on since I owned the vehicle, but it has never been unrecoverable. It’s happened every time I take the same on-ramp…every time.
