MY 2017 AWD JUKE HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY NEEDS THE FRONT TIRES REPLACED. THE BACK TIRES LOOK ALMOST NEW. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE TOO WORN TO ROTATE AND WOULD NEED TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE CAR WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES. IT IS PUSH BUTTON START.

IT IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN THE GARAG…
