NHTSA Complaint #10722420 — 2008 KIA RONDO

COMING BACK FROM WISCONSIN THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BUSTED AND SHREDDED THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLOWING IT OUT TRAVELING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD SEEN ON THE INTERNET THAT HYUNDIES AND KIA WERE NOTED FOR THERE DEFECTIIVE FRONT COIL SPRING BREAKING AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO TIRES AND POSSIBLY WRECKS. I CALLED THE KIA DEALERSHIP IN QUINCY, ILLINOIS AND HE TOLD ME THE PARTS WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS ALREADY COST ME $240.00 FOR 2 NEW FRONT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR DUE TO THE FACT THAT POSSIBLY THESE FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE OF DEFECTIVE WEAK FOREIGN MATERIAL AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAKE OF PEOPLES LIVES
