The speed at blowout was 80mph. 2 inches of the bottom of the tire was still attached to the rim but no other sidewall remained. There was several seconds of vibration before the car suddenly swerved to the left and then the right before gaining control. This tire was manufactured 19/18 in Portugal and is not part of the tire sidewall blowout recall. Dot AF A6 WD60. The tires were properly inflated with only 19,652 miles since installation.
The rear wheel cracked and I had to have it repaired, and the vehicle has been making a ticking noise for 3 years and the Dealer in Colorado Springs told me don’t worry about it , it was a common noise, that was 2020. Now I have found out that the tension pulley and/or the timing tension pulley is bad . How is this a common problem? They want to replace my engine. Not to mention the problem that all KIA’S have the steering coupler that is going out. How are these not all recall problems as I have found on your site multiple complaints of the same nature.
