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.

My heater blows cold air out of three of the four vents when the heater is turned on. For one year there was a clicking sound behind the dashboard at randoms times during the day and night if the car was on or off it didn't matter the clicking could be heard inside and outside of the car. At this time when the heater was in use, cold air would blow out of the 2 passenger vents only. As time goes on the vents are being affected one by one. I now have only one vent that blows warm air when the heat is on and the others blow cold air.

My heater is not blowing out hot air. I was told that casting sand was in the cooling reservoir that's causing the heater to not blow out hot air and that the casting sand will cause sludge in my cooling system. Even though this is no fault of my making and this happened at the manufacturing plant dodge will not fix their mistake nor is it covered by my lifetime added care plus warranty.

The heat in my vehicle works only on the driver side. The middle and passenger side vents blow out cool or cold air when the heat is on. The heat only works when accelerating on the highway. I have replaced tubing and both thermostats and the issue is not resolved.

The heater in the car now only blows out hot air on the drivers side. Which in turn only clears off half of the windshield, making the visibility of the road difficult. During the changes in the temperature outside and the humidity levels it is impossible to get a clear view of the road. This condition is happening all the time, the car can be in park idling or in motion. The passenger side of the car can only blow out cold air and does not change with the temperature dial.
