Tires · reported Nov 14, 2022
Tire size 225/45 R 14 Purchased four tires April 22, 2019 and had to replace one tire on August 5, 2021 due to not keeping air, which I wasn't told why. Then I was having the same problem with another tire and this time was shown what the tire looked like, which is splitting, separating on the inside wall. On October 23, 2022 ordered a new tire and had them check the remaining two tires and they were both splitting, separating on the inside wall as well, which I had to order two more tires October 27, 2022 and I still have plenty of tread left.

Exterior Lighting · at 51,000 miles · reported Feb 2, 2021
Passenger headlight LED low beam stopped working at 3 yrs 11months post car purchase. Dealer replace headlamp assembly under warranty, LED ECM also found not working with new headlamp assy. Similarly the driver side high beam strted to fade and diagnostic from the dealer is that it will need to be replaced. These headlamps assembly are completely sealed, which means that if the LED fails the whole assembly needs to be replaced ( ~$1,100 ). My car is about to get the second headlamp replaced , this time not under warranty.
Service Brakes · reported Jan 15, 2021
The brakes are squeaking really badly. I got them checked out and everything looked good, they said there was some dirt and rust in there so they cleaned that up. They stopped squeaking for a day but now doing it again. I see others here with the similar issue.
