Since I've had my car the main screen with maps, weather, radio, etc. Has shut off randomly, my speakers have turned up to the max they could go all by themselves without letting me turn anything off, the weather constantly pops up after I've cleared it. All of this was fixed with replacing the whole screen. But then after the system would not save my setting for the first 5 times I started it back up. I had to keep saving them. It has had multiple issues, I've had to get different tires replaced at least 3-4 times and air leaks, the last being because the belt broke in them. I have an appointment to get my front usb replaced because it randomly stopped working. I've had to get other parts replaced that control my driving and now it won't start. The lights, radio, gauges, etc. All work but the gauges make a tick sound but the engine won't start. There has been two times that it says my car is running but the engine isn't on. I've had my side lights that come on when I turn randomly not work but I'm not sure if that is something I'm doing. I have to read the manual more.

Bridgestone firehawk tire. These factory tires are defective. The tire belts in all 4 of my tires have shifted causing an excessive humming noise. My tire treads are currently at 5/32 and according to tread is nowhere near replacing, however due to the tire belts shifting in all 4 tires, I must replace them in order to avoid a more serious issue with my vehicle.
