THE FRONT TIRES REPEATLY (EVERY 3-4 MONTHS) LOOSE AIR AND GO FLAT. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIRES OF THE SAME TYPE DO THIS. ACCORDING TO SEARS AND SUBARU, THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE TYPE THAT FITS A JUSTY. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED ONE RIM. SEARS AND SUBARU HAVE LOOKED AT FLATS AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. WE SIMPLY REPAIR WITH FIX-A FLAT, CHECK AIR PRESSURE AND THEN THE TIRE IS GOOD FOR MONTHS. RECENTLY A TIRE WENT FLAT IN A TUNNEL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE TIRE WILL INSTANTLY LOOSE ALL AIR. WE THINK IT COULD BE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE WHEELS ARE TURNED INTO A CURB ON A HILL AND THEN WHEN YOU DRIVE THE TIRE GOES FLAT SEVERAL MILES DONW THE ROAD (POSSIBLY THE TIRE HAS LOST SOME AIR ALREADY BY BEING PARKED AGAINST THE CURB). (TIRESIZE: P165/65R13)

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
