April 2005, notified of tire deterioration - 12,000 miles on new vehicle. July 2005, dead battery with car. August 2005, car shut itself down while on interstate 80. Unable to use any automatic equipment. August 2005 notified of tire deterioration again, 18,000 miles. This is a lot of problems both mechanical and with the tires in a relatively short period. Tires and mechanical problem I believe to be a manufactures defect.
