Had coolant/oil leaking from valve cover/ intake manifold. Dealer replaced all 5 gaskets, oil and coolant. Only have 31,000 miles on the car. Also had resistor for fan control changed. Blower would not operate in position 1 or 2. One month ago in january, had transmission cooling leak. Dealer said it was "transmission internal wiring harness connector" leaking when I told them it was cooling line. Invoice shows changed harness, which I couldnt tell it was new because it was dirty, and changed gasket in cooling line. At same time had A/C blower control unit replaced. Ive had probelms with this vehicle since I bought it. Tires were "cupped" after first rotation. Dearler replaced 2 front tires under warranty. Now I have a problem with tires/wheels after each rotation when rear wheels are put up front. Said problem might be alignment, which is not covered under warranty. Also have had horn repaired due to inop. Dealer found wiring harness wasn't connected. Had control switch changed on power drivers seat. Drivers seat moves back/forth slightly when braking/accelerating. Passenger-side airbag was replaced due to "squeaking" when hitting bumps in the road. Had battery replaced due to acid leak eating off positive terminal. Had to leave car overnight at work brakes are due replacement due to "brake fade". Car is total disapointment. Would trade it in, but I owe more than vehicle is worth.
The tires are coming apart in different areas of the threads. I have owned several vehicles and never had this kind of a problem with tires before. Are they on the recall list? The first flat tire was the left rear, I'm not sure if the tire # is the same as the one I listed for the most recent flat on the right front. I cannot afford to keep buying tires. Please advise. Thank you. *ak (tiresize: p215/60r15)

When pressing the button to turn on air conditioner there's a light that comes on at the same time. Light has started to go out on its own. When it does, air conditioner goes off. Consumer has contacted dealer. *ak the manufacturer was unwilling to fix the defective A/C. The four firestone tires had to be replaced because they were all dry rotting. (p215/6-r15)
The tires are cracking and splitting abnormally. The ones that are under 3 yrs/36,000 we have been taking to dealerships. Several dealerships have not been willing to replace these defective tires under warranty. Firestone is only replacing them by prorating the tires.*ak (tiresize: 9215/60r15)
