Tire is about 1 year old, on the way to work this morning the tire blew out for no apparent reason. I had not hit a bump nor was I aware of running over any sharp objects. I pulled off the road and the tire has 5 different holes in it-all along the side wall, three holes in the front and two holes in the back. The tire still has plenty of thread on it and had no plugs. With regard to the rear window, the trim is pushed back and the corner end of the window is exposed. As if you are trying to open the window-you can see the top edge of the window. I am not sure of how to resolve-I am afraid to simply put sealant in crack-afraid window may fall into car or out of frame into people behind. Window was never hit, appears that seal is worn or window is falling.( dot number: tire size: 9225/60r16 )

The driver's front side electric power window had broken. Problem informed by mechanic. The lift plate was broken, it needed replacing. This has happened 4 different times. The part is not made anymore. Would need to buy entire window.
Defective fresh air defroster, causing air to gradually diminish until it becomes inoperative.this could result in a health hazard.
Air bag warning light illuminates, indicating a malfunction within the system. Also, when this occurs the power windows and the air conditioner become inoperable. Dealer cannot identify the problem. Please give any further details.
Was driving vehicle about 35-40mph, windows frosted up. Turned defroster switch on & nothing happened. Turned it off & then back on & still nothing. Took to dealer & the mechanic had to replace the evaporator. This happened 3 different times
During normal weather conditions, the defroster does not clear the lower 4-6 inches of the windshield, the air is directed too high onto the window.
Insufficient air vents to defrost windshield, causing poor visibility.
Windshield wipers ice up and do not clear the windshield.
