JULY 18, 2015 RETURNING FROM A 350 MILE TRIP TO MIAMI FROM ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. ON I-75N, EXPERIENCED A HARROWING DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE EXPLOSION IN ALLIGATOR ALLEY ABOUT 11:30AM. HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS NO SPARE TIRE ON A LEASED CAR. TIRES ARE HANKOOK OMNIPRO H-426. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR TIRES AFTER RESEARCHING. MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 10K MILES AND CAR IS ONLY 2 YRS. OLD AND WAS LEASED BRAND NEW. HAVE 'HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THAT ONLY TOWS TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP', PER CSR AFTER CALL TO REPORT,REQUIRING A TRIP BACK 30 MILES. AFTER EXPLAINING ORDEAL, TIRE EXPLOSION, REAR BUMPER TORN OFF, BACK LIGHT DAMAGE FROM TIRE BEING COMPLETELY RIPPED APART AND MAJOR BACKSIDE DAMAGE FROM SAID INCIDENT, DAVIE FLORIDA HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DID CHANGE AND REPLACE TIRE THAT I HAD TO PURCHASE. THEY ASSURED US THAT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. RECEIPT SHOWED MULTI-POINT INSPECTION PROVIDED AS WELL AS WHEEL BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT. BACK ON ROAD AT APPROX. 3:30PM, I-75N ALMOST TO SAME SPOT, (ALLIGATOR ALLEY) SECOND TIRE EXPLODES ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT MAKING CAR INOPERABLE; WAITED FOR 2ND TOW(8PM) ALL THE WAY HOME, ARRIVED ABOUT 12 MIDNIGHT. I AM CURRENTLY TERRIFIED OF DRIVING WITH OTHER TWO TIRES ON PASSENGER SIDE. WAITING TO HEAR FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT RESOLUTION,

I HAVE A SET OF 4 PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING II TIRES ON MY CARD, TWO OF WHICH FAILED DUE TO THE PRIOR RECALL ISSUE ON THE INSIDE LOWER SIDEWALK. MY TIRES ARE NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL, HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS IDENTICAL. I PURCHASED TWO NEW TIRES TODAY AS THE OTHERS FAILED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON I95 IN DUVAL COUNTY, FL . I WILL PURCHASE TWO ADDITIONAL TIRES THIS WEEKEND AS I DO NOT WANT THE TIRES ON THE CAR TO FAIL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR WORSE. WHAT IS GITI TIRE AND/OR CONTINENTAL TIRE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. 2 YEARS OLD. DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE (AND PASSENGER'S SIDE, BUT NOT AS MUCH) STARTS THUMPING WHEN DRIVEN OVER 60 MPH, OR WILL INCONSISTENTLY START THUMPING RANDOMLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. FEELS VERY UNSAFE AS IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A FLAT TIRE. EACH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK IF I ACTUALLY HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT DID NOT. FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DISMISSED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS JUST A BUMPY HIGHWAY, AS THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AFTER EXITING. FROM THERE ON, THE CAR DROVE SMOOTHLY UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. I DID NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE THUMPING STARTED HAPPENING RANDOMLY ON ROADS THAT I DROVE SMOOTH ON BEFORE, SO I KNEW IT WAS NOT A BAD ROAD ISSUE. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL AS IT IS ALREADY CAUSING ME LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS ONLY AT 2 YEARS OLD. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH BRAKES AND STEERING, BUT THEY APPEAR MINOR TO THE TIRE PROBLEM.

THE TIRE ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE EXPLODED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A 70MPH SPEED LIMIT. A WEEK AND HALF AFTER THAT TIRE WAS REPLACED THE FRONT TIRE IN THE FRONT SIDE OF THE DRIVER HAD ITS TREAD SEPARATING FROM THE CASING. THIS COULD HAVE HAD A BLOWOUT AND POTENTIALLY BEEN HARMING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TIRE (NEXEN CP671, MODEL NUMBER P21545R17) EXPERIENCED A DOUBLE BLOW OUT (FRONT AND REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRES). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. ADDITIONAL TIRE DETAILS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
