The central locking and keyless proximity systems suffered a catastrophic electronic malfunction. The vehicle completely auto-locked itself from the outside while the vehicle's smart keys, the driver's mobile phone, and a [XXX] child were all inside the cabin.

Original tires, when I pointed out the issue, the sealer said it was normal on those vehicles. The tires are 500 treadwear. This is not supposed to wear that soon. My vehicle sideswipped (3 times I had to put it back in the right position until it finally gained stability) on I-95 and I was able to safe it, despite it repeatedly tried to loose control on a wet pavement. That is why I inspected the car thoroughly. It looks like this tires do not match to that vehicle.
