TIRES:SIDEWALL
Potential Consequences:
P225 / 50 R 18 On 8/28/2021, I noticed my front drivers tired looked weird. Upon inspection, it looked like dry rot. I do have a picture of the tire. I immediately went to Tire Kingdom and purchased a set of of 4 new tires. Tire Kingdom confirmed that the tire looked defective. Still plenty of tread, but the side was separating causing it to not be safe. There was no warning on the car system as the tire had not yet completely separated.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
This vehicle currently has about 55,000 miles on it. I recently had to replace the battery which seems premature for a vehicle just over three years old (at 48865 miles). I have recently been made aware that it is alleged that this Subaru model is defective in such a way to precipitate early battery failure. I want my experience added to that of others. I have documentation of this battery replacement which I could supply upon request.

TAKING A PICTURE IS TOO HARD TO SEE "ALL" THE SMALL CHIPS. I HAVEN'T REPLACED IT YET, HOPING A RECALL WOULD HAPPEN, OR SOMEONE WANTS TO LOOK AT ALL THE NICKS, SINCE I'VE OWNED IT NEW FROM 2018.
