2015 Hyundai Sonata Tires & Wheels Problems

We have had issues with tires not wearing equally and tears on the inner tire/s shortly after replacing. This has happened twice so far. This has lead to air loss, severe vibration, and pulling while driving. Most recently, both back tires were losing air with one back tire having a structural issue on the inner portion of the tire making it unsafe to drive. We had just put on new tires in 1/2024 and had to replace one of those before this issue because of a tear on the inner portion. Both back tires were replaced and rotated. Severe vibration and pulling occurred. We took it in to have balancing and an alignment done only to find out that all 4 rims are bent to varying degrees on the inner lip that meets with the tire. All 4 tires were wobbling significantly during the service to balance resulting in the inability to balance the tires. As there hasn’t been any occurrence that would have caused all 4 rims to bend in the exact same place, and reading about the defects of the coating on the rims as well as other wheel related issues, we felt it necessary to file a complaint. Living in a state where there is salt put on the roads as well as salt in the snow itself, peeling and premature wear to the rims due to the lack of a safe and sufficient coating, exposes the metal to the elements and excessive salt during the winter months. This in turn weakens the metal making it susceptible to bend and sustain damage it would not otherwise sustain. We now have to replace all 4 rims to eliminate the vibration and alignment issues.

215/55 R 17 My right rear tire has been losing air for at least 6 months. My tire pressure light is constantly on. I had my tire inspected and was told all 4 tires are compromised. The mechanic told me that my tires were wavy??? and that the tread inside my tires were damaged and I needed to replace all 4 tires. He also said my car would not pass inspection because of this defect in the tires. I feel my safety is at risk because of the inconsistent pressure that the tires may blow at any time.

THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM CARMAX, IT WAS BROUGH TO MY ATTENTION THAT THESES BEEN A RECALL REQUEST ON THE VEHICLE'S PARKING BREAK SYSTEM. I'D LIKE TO GET THAT CHECKED OUT. ALSO, IT SEEMS AS THO MY LEFT REAR TIRE RUNS OUT OF PRESSURE QUITE FREQUENTLY, AS I'VE HAD TO FILL IT UP TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS (IT GOT DOWN TO 24 FOR A DAY.) THESE ARE IMMEDIATE RISKS THAT I NEED TAKEN CARE OF ASAP. THANK YOU FR YOUR TIME

TIRES ON 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA SPORT. AT 9000 MI. DURING SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES COULD NOT BE ROTATED DUE TO A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES. I REPLACED THIS TIRE WITH A NEW ONE OF SAME MAKE AND MODEL. AT APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MI. I WAS AGAIN INFORMED (DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE) THAT THE TIRES COULD NOT BE ROTATED DUE TO A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES. IN 43 YEARS OF DRIVING, I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TIRE DEVELOPING A BLISTER IN THE SIDE WALL...UNTIL NOW. TWO TIRES IN 14 MONTHS. I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE.
