I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH LOW TIRES. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING LOW/FLAT. ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO I HAD ONE TIRE COME COMPLETELY OFF MY RIM. FROM WHAT I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE RIMS HAVE TO BE SHAVED DOWN AND THEN RE SEALED. I JUST BOUGHT NEW TIRES LESS THEN A YEAR AGO AND ALREADY IN NEED OF NEW ONES BECAUSE THE TREAD IS WORN OUT FOR HAVING INCONSISTANT AIR IN THEM WITH THEM CONTINUALLY GOING LOW! IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS BUT MORE FREQUENTLY WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

WHILE ENTERING ACCESS RAMP TO HIGHWAY, AT APPROX 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER RISE TO 4000RPM AND STAY AT THAT LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT. I DID MANAGE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY BUT THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD GARNER WAS 55MPH ALL THE WHILE THE TACH STAYED AT 4-5000 RPM AND CONTINUED TO RACE. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE NOTICED LEAKING FLUIDS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.
