“Dealership moved without notice, no dealer for an hour. Tire exploded while driving wheel seperated from vehicle while driving windshield wipers stopped working while car was in operation under heavy rain at all speed settings. I got rid of the vehicle as it scared me when the incident had occurred with my children with me. Don't know what was wrong with the wipers.”
