Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 KIA RIO, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. AT 32000 MILES THE LEFT FRONT RIM CRACKED, AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD THE RIGHT FRONT CRACK AT 62000 MILES. KIA DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT, SO I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW RIM FOR 98.00, AND HAVE IT MOUNTED AT ADDITIONAL COST. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER, AND KIA DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. KIA'S RESPONSE WAS SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD ONLY COVER MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. THE 13 INCH STEEL RIM HAS NO DAMAGE WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE TEAR IN THE STEEL; CIRCUMFERENCE WITH THE LUG BOLT HOLES. *NLM
