MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER'S DOOR HANDLE OPEN AND STAYS IN THE UP POSITION AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND UPON TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE HANDLE LIFTED AND WAS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. IT HAS NOT LATCHED SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.

4 HIGH QUALITY TIRES FROM GOODYEAR: 2 SOLD IN 2016 AND 2 SOLD IN 2017 FOR THE SAME VEHICLE FOUND TO HAVE THE RUBBER COMPOUND CRACKING AND SHOWING PREMATURE AGEING. ALL 4 TITRES SOLD, BALANCED AND INSTALLED BY GOODYEAR OUTLETS. TIRE 1) PURCHASED 03/12/2016 DOT#DAVRCUER PRODUCTION DATE 0515 (WEEK 5 OF 2015) TIRE 2) PURCHASED 03/12/2016 DOT# DAVRCUER PRODUCTION DATE 4314 (WEEK 43 OF 2014) TIRE 3) PURCHASED 01/15/2017 DOT# DAV8CUER PRODUCTION DATE 1715 !WEEK 17 OF 2015 TIRE 4) PURCHASED 01/15/2017 DOT# DAV8CUER PRODUCTION DATE 3814 (WEEK 38 OF 2014 THE TIRE MODEL IS 99H SL EAGLE LS2 VSB AND WERE MOUNTED ON A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FOR FAMILY USE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL GOODYEAR DEALER CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE SUFFERING FROM PREMATURE WEAR AND SHOULD BE CHANGED.THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THEM WAS TO CHANGE THE TIRE AFTER 4 YEARS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE THE TIRES WERE ALREADY 2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF BEING PURCHASED AS PREMIUM NEW TIRES AT A TOTAL COST OF $667.45. SO AFTER JUST 2 YEARS OF USE WE ARE FACED WITH THE CRACKING AND PREMATURE WEAR OF THE RUBBER COMPOUND CAUSING THE TIRE TO BECOME UNRELIABLE AND SUBJECT TO A PREMATURE FAILURE. WE ARE NOW REQUIRED FOR OUR OWN SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHER ROAD USERS TO PURCHASE 4 REPLACEMENT TIRES AT A COST OF $640.00 WHY ARE MAJOR TIRE MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR RETAILERS ALLOWED TO SELL TO THE PUBLIC OLD TIRES AS "NEW" ?.

THE REAR CENTER "RACETRACK' LIGHTS ARE TAKING ON LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. THE LEFT LOWER SIDE OF THE LIGHT PANEL IS NOW INOPERABLE AND LEAVES A DARK SPOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE ILLUMINATED. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BURN OUT LIGHTS AND EVENTUALLY MAKE THE REAR LIGHTING INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NO DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR.

PART # 68105583AF WAS LEAKING ENGINE OIL. THE OIL WAS COLLECTING BETWEEN THE HEADS. DEALER REPLACE THE PART BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IMFORMATION FROM DODGE IF THE PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED OIL COLLECTING BETWEEN THE HEADS COULD CAUSE A FIRE THE OIL LEAKS WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING
