| 2001 | TIRES | I BOUGHT MY NEW KIA RIO IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, ITS ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES HAVE WORN TO THE STEEL ON THE INSIDE EDGE ONLY, NO SHIMMY NOR SHAKE, THAT WOULD MAKE ME THINK ITS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I CALLED HANKOOK THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE, THEY TOLD ME TO CALL KIA BUT SAID NO WARRANTY, KIA SAID THE SAME, I AM GETTING NO WHERE, THE TIRES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD UNTIL 36,000 MILES.? ALREADY I HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES AND NO PERCENTAGE OFF FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR DEALER? SEEMS LIKE THEY PUT AN ANYTHING TIRE ON HERE THAT LOOKS NICE, BUT NO QUALITY, THAT COULD BLOW AT ANYTIME. I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES, I CAN NOT DRIVE ON THESE. I FEEL THEY HAVE MADE A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM AND THEY HANKOOK, NOR KIA THE DEALER I BOUGHT THEM FROM WANTS TO HELP. THE SERVICE MANAGER, CHIP CARR, HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS AT KIA. THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: 13)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 13 ) |

SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE ON 2 OCCASIONS AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE. ALSO, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 5MPH AND UP, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT A WHINING SOUND. THE DEALER ADVISED THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21632. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. |
