“The car shuts off while driving. This has happened to me at least 5 times in the past month so far usually in the middle of a turn. I have to put the car in park and turn the key in order to start it up again. It starts up and I'm on my way again. The issue is there is no warning like the car slowing down or vibrating or a dashboard warning light before it shuts down. I'm afraid the driver behind me will run in to me because of this. I've had a diagnostic test done today and the repair shop could not tell me what is wrong because they see no history of any codes coming up. They would need to see it happen. That would be hard to do.”Owner report · Engine · Sep 2015
“Drivers rear tire suddenly lost air pressure while on the freeway, went to gas station and while attempting to place air in the tire it blew in my face, inner sidewall separated at seam with 18 inch gash. The tires were on my car less the 5 months & had less than 2,000 miles. Looking at your site I see multiple complaints of same thing happening to others. The tire is not available nation wide and per michelin customer service on back order with no production date available. I have 3 more of these tires on my car and do not feel safe driving on these tires after reviewing the complaints on your site.”Owner report · Tires · Aug 2015
