Was driving on the Florida turnpike in the miami area, under rush hour traffic, doing about 75-80 mph when the front left tire blew up from the side wall. Almost lost control of the car. The tire has a 4" opening on the sidewall close to the wheel. Called hankook, they sent me to a local distributor who said he couldn't do anything about it. Tires were about 2 years old with plenty of thread left. Last hankook tires for me, family and close friends. I am replacing all the tires on this car. Tire is a hankook ventus V12 evo.

The convertible top unlatched by itself while driving. The window at night cannot be seen through the convertible top window due to cracks and needs constant repairs. The suspension of the car has a cracking sound which the dealership hears but ignores, the windshield cracks all of the time it sounds like the car is going to split in half, the suspension makes a very loud metal cracking noises as if it is separating from the vehicle while driving.
