DASHBOARD TOP IS SEPARATING AND BUCKLING IN AREA BETWEEN STEERING WHEEL AND WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED SLOWLY WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE WITH TIME. WHILE RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. I'M WORRIED THAT AS THE DASHBOARD SEPARATION GETS WORSE, IT WILL AFFECT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND/OR VEHICLE ELECTRONICS IN THE DASHBOARD AREA LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HANKOOK OPTIMO H727 TIRES WERE INSTALLED ALL THE WAY AROUND IN MID 2012. AFTER ABOUT 15,000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO WOBBLE/VIBRATE NOTICEABLY AT SPEEDS OVER ABOUT 45 MPH. TIRES HAD BEEN REGULARLY ROTATED, AND THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE THE WOBBLE BEGAN. AT THE LAST ROTATION, THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE "CHOPPING" AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE VIBRATION/WOBBLE. *TR

BATTERY WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE. HAD A NEW COMPUTER PUT IN. DID NOT HELP. HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED. DID NOT HELP. CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE. FIRE MARSHALL SAID THE FUSE BOX SHORTED AND CAUGHT THE INSULATION ON FIRE WHICH BURNED THE FUEL LINE INTO. CAR IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM. TOTALLY GONE. FIRE WAS SO INTENSE IT MELTED THE ENGINE. *TR
