NHTSA Complaint #10222183 — 2004 KIA SEDONA EX

I HAVE A 2004 KIA SEDONA EX, AND WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION, WAS DRIVING ALONG AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE COME FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE, THE VAN STARTED SHAKING AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE, I STARTED APPLYING MY BRAKES TO PULL OVER, THEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, THE BACK CORNER WENT DOWN. OUT MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW I LOOKED AND SAW MY ENTIRE WHEEL FLYING THROUGH THE TREES ON FIRE. I HAD LITERALLY NO STOPPING POWER, LUCKILY I GOT MY VEHICLE STOPPED SAFELY BECAUSE I HAD MY FAMILY AND MOTHER IN LAW WITH ME AT THE TIME. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS SITUATION, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT IT, AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $2500 TO HAVE IT FIXED, THE SAME AMOUNT I PAID TO GO ON VACATION. *TR
