WHEELS
I BOUGHT 4 NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 225/35R17 TIRES ON AUGUST 08/2018 AT A LOCAL GOODYEAR STORE. ON 05/05/2019 MY GRANDDAUGHTER WITH HER ONE YEAR OLD BABY IN THE BACK CAR SEAT. WERE APPROACHING THE FREEWAY, WHILE STILL ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP THE FRONT TIRE TOTALLY BLEW OUT AND DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS LESS THAN 10% OF TIRE LEFT ON THE WHEEL. SHE PULLED OFF ONTO THE GRASS AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE HIGHWAY PATROL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE ALUMINUM RIMS, AS SHE DIDN'T DRIVE ANY FARTHER. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOWOUT DISINTEGRATE MORE THAN NINETY PERCENT OF THE TIRE. I AM NOT AN EXPERT, BUT THIS SURE LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT IN THE TIRE ITSELF. ONCE AGAIN ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO MY ALUMINUM RIM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY LURCHED/JERKED FORWARD FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS AT A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING OR EXPLANATION. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER DODGE OWNERS. SOME MENTIONING THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. I'M NOT A MECHANIC SO I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT IS OCCURRING. THIS LATEST OCCURRENCE CAUSED A MINOR SLOW SPEED 'BUMPER TAG' BUMP TO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME TO THE CAR AHEAD. MY DASHCAM CAPTURED THE INCIDENT. THE DASHCAM VIDEO IS *.MOV FORMAT BUT IS VERY CLEAR IN 1080P WITH SPEED, DATE, AND TIME STAMPED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT I WOULD NEED TO EMAIL THAT OTHER THAN THIS WEBSITE PLATFORM. YOU WILL SEE THE BUMPER COLLISION OCCURRED AT 3MPH. NO MARKS WERE LEFT ON EITHER VEHICLES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FAULTY TIPM. I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET. I HAD MY CELLPHONE CHARGING IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER PORT AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AT THE SAME TIME. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED FREEZING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDOW UNTIL I UNPLUGGED MY PHONE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. IT EVEN DOES IT WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITION. SOMETIMES WHEN I PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR, ALL 4 DOORS WILL LOCK. BTW, I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE, I JUST HAD A BRAND NEW ONE INSTALLED 1 MONTH AGO.
