THE FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING EVERY 3,000 MILES. DEALER HAS CHECKED ALIGNMENT, ROTATED THE TIRES AND REPLACED THEM FOR FREE 4 TIMES WITH 2 DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES. I NOW HAVE 30,000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE WORN OUT AGAIN AND THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS AND TO STOP COMING TO THEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN QUITE RAINY WHERE I LIVE AND I FEEL THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE IS NOW PUTTING ME AT RISK. THE ABILITY OF THE TIRES TO PERFORM IN RAIN SOAKED ROADS HAS DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL WEARING AND I FEEL THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER. I REALLY HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. SINCE THE TIRES ARE SO BADLY WORN ON THE OUTER EDGES THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEEMS QUITE UNSTABLE. ANY LITTLE BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK VIOLENTLY. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WORN TIRES OR AN INHERENT DESIGN FLAW IN THE FRONT END. I KNOW FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

EQUIPMENT
AIR CONDITIONING/VENTILATION SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. EXTREME HEAT BEHIND THE AC CONTROL PANEL, DETERMINED BY TOUCH, AND AC SYSTEM SHUTDOWN AS WELL AS THE VENTILATION/FAN SYSTEM. TRIED TO CORRECT BY SHUTTING THE SYSTEM OFF, TRYING BOTH AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL SETTINGS, BUT DID NOT WORK. EVEN WITH THE AC OFF THE FAN/VENTILATION SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK EITHER.ONLY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF WOULD THE SYSTEM WORK AGAIN. IT MUST RESET AN OVERHEAT SENSOR SOMEPLACE. DEALER TOOK THE PANEL APART AND INSPECTED ALL WIRING AND FOUND NOTHING. STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN THIS FAILURE OCCURRING TWICE IN 10 MONTHS.
