Hankook ventus s1 noble 2 tires that are on the explorer are faulty causing the thread to shred. This could have caused my tires to come sort while driving and possible collision & injury. There was only 12,995 miles on them. No extreme driving conditions etc. I had to replace today.

While operating the vehicle there is a constant odor of natural gas or exhaust like smell. The longer the period of time the vehicle is operated the more intense the odor becomes. If the windows are opened the odor dissipates but soon returns. A check of the exhaust system showed no visible signs of leakage. The odor is constant since the vehicle was owned.
