At this point the mileage said tire was 7700. As of yet the tire warranty has not been confirmed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11432499, filed 2021-09“The driver rear tire may be leaking air and the pressure monitoring system shows the pressure is 27-28.

I have taken the car into the dealership twice about the tire (second time was on 20 May 2021) and they keep saying they don't fix tires and it may have a slow leak. I find this unacceptable and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of (I'm a senior citizen). I plan on driving to another state and I want to ensure the safety of myself and passengers. …”
