MASTERCRAFT GLACIER GRIP II TIRES 4 225 65 R16 INSTALLED 10/27/2016. LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON TIRES AND 2 TIRES ON HAD TREAD SEPARATION. MINOR CRACK FRACTURES THAT LEAKED AIR OUT. I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING AIR IN TIRE. ONCE PUMPED UP TO TIRE SPECS HOLD AIR. SO DEALER DIDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG TILL IT KEPT HAPPENING AND I MADE THEN DISMOUNT AND CHECK INSIDE AND OUT AND ALL AROUND. FOUND FROM INSIDE MICRO CRACKS IN TIRE TREAD. PER DEALER MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 DART SXT SINCE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENED WAS THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE COMING OFF - MORE THAN ONCE - AND HAVING TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME IT WAS "FIXED" AND THEN THE HANDLE WOULD COME OFF AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THE HANDLE CAME OFF, I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOW I JUST HAVE A PASSENGER DOOR WITH NO HANDLE UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THAT FIXED. AS FAR AS THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD: THE DASH DISPLAY GOES COMPLETELY DARK AND RESETS ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING - ESPECIALLY IF THE WEATHER CHANGES; MY TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY; MY HEAT/AC TURNS ON OR UP WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT (AT RANDOM) AND I'VE FREQUENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. MY REMOTE START STOPPED WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT BECAUSE I FIRST HAD MY ELECTRIC WORKED ON AT FRANK FLETCHER DODGE, AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WEREN'T FIXED, I STOPPED TRYING. ANY OTHER PLACE I'VE TAKEN MY CAR ALWAYS SUGGESTS I GO BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WORK STARTED BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE PROBLEMS GET WORSE EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED. MY DASH/CLOCK RESETS AT COMPLETE RANDOM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND HIT POT HOLES ON THE STREET AND BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT MADE THE WHOLE SYSTEM RESET WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. EVEN THIS MONDAY, I STARTED MY CAR AT THE END OF MY WORKDAY ONLY TO FIND THAT MY CLOCK AND AUDIO SETTINGS WERE RESET AGAIN. I WAS TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF THE SERVICE RECORDS FROM FRANK FLETCHER DODGE AND OTHERS BUT MAY HAVE LOST SOME FROM ALL OF THE TIMES I HAVE HAD TO CALL THEM IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE BEEN EXPECTING SOME SORT OF RECALL OR BUY BACK DUE TO THE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED, BUT NO LUCK.

SO WHY DRIVING THIS 07 NITRO IMEDITALY YOU GET A CHIME FROM THE AIRBAG LIGHT IT VERY SCARY KNOWING THAT YOU GET IN ACCIDENT AND LOOSE YOUR LIFE THINKING AIR BAGS WONT DEPLOY DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER GOING AWAY AND WHEN IT DOES NOT LONG AND IT RIGHT BACK ONI FEEL THIS BE A RECALL ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH ANY VEHICLE OUT IN THE WORLD
