| I was on vacation from fl and near savannah, georgia my tire went flat. i went to a kia dealer in savannah. they told me the tire could not be repaired and there was no warranty even tho the tire only had 21k miles on it. i purchased a new tire($192). approx 700 tiremiles later the new tire went flat. i went to another kia dealer, they told me i needed a new tire($174) and there was no warranty, they also said they didnt see any road hazard damage. kia refused to help and referred me to kumho tires. kumho blamed the dealerships for not following proper procedures. the dealerships referred me back to kia. | |||

| I was driving on the freeway approximately 70 mph when i heard a noise that sounded like a golf ball hitting the rear passenger side of the car, it was actually my tire popping. it went flat almost immediately. i took the flat in to be repaired and they couldn't repair it, i had to buy new one for $235, kia wouldn't warranty it. my car only has 5000 miles on it. i didn't run over anything or hit a pot hole or curb, it just popped. | |||

| I was driving 70mph on a 4 lane highway. i was changing lanes from the 2nd lane to the left most lane. the car infront on me decelerated at a quick pace, so i had to make my lane change a lot quicker. at this point, the driver-side front tire popped and i lost control of the car. it veered quickly left and bounced off the center divide. it then travelled all the way to the right most lane of the highway and came to a stop. i believe i did not touch the brakes or the accelerator during this entire endeavor. other cars did not hit me. the car is currently being fixed through my insurance company. | |||
