NHTSA Complaint #11564122 — 2024 KIA CARNIVAL

I hit a piece of 4X4 in the road that fell off of the vehicle in front of me. In doing so, I thought I busted my front driver’s side tire, but later found out at the dealership that my rim is completely split. I'm baffled at the fact that the wheel failed as severely as it did, so were the technicians who witnessed the damage. I was driving 50mph when it happened & I'm worried about major safety issues & the integrity of the other wheels. I was told by the service advisor that a new wheel could be ordered for $1,100.00 however, the delivery is backdated with no delivery date in sight. I'm currently driving on a spare tire that is only good for driving 50 miles. I drive approximately 68 miles per day to get my children to & from school & to & from work & I have been driving on this spare tire since the incident occurred. I feel this is a safety hazard to not only myself & my family, but other drivers on the road. I am concerned that other Carnival drivers could hit a pot hole or speed bump just right & have the same thing happen to them or cause them to lose control of the vehicle. **I would like to upload a photo but that feature does not appear to be working from the button below, please contact me if you wish to have the photo.**
