“Factory steel wheel split at weld and was replaced under warranty near 30,000 mi. Since then one other has been replaced at my expense and the two remaining factory wheels have developed slow leaks but are still on the vehicle. The rear air controll failed and was replaced under warranty at about 33,000 mi. It has failed again just over 75,000 mile limit of the extended warranty we purchased. We have had an ongoing problem with the A/C from the day we drove it home. …”
