Consumer Description

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. *KB
