Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I BOUGHT A NEW KIA RIO, AFTER JUST 300 KILOMETERS OF USE A TIRE EXPLOTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, I WENT TO KIA DEALER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT, AFTER DAYS THE KIA ANSWER WAS THAT IT WAS MY FAULT MAYBE BEACUSE I DROVE WITH LOW PRESSURE IN THAT TIRE OR I HIT AN EDGE OR I HIT A HOLE BUT NONE OF THOSE THREE THINGS HAPPENED. IN THE PICTURES YOU CAN SEE HOW THE CUT OF THE EXPLOTION IS ALIGNED WITH A METALLIC PART INSTALLED IN THE WHEEL. WHEN EXPLOTION OF TIRE OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGHWAY, THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MY SAFETY WAS IN RISK. TIRE INFORMATION: BRAND: NEXEN, MODEL: NBLUE HD, SERIAL: DOT 8ELX LABR 4619, CODE: NEXOE306, DESCRIPTION: 185/65R15 88H NBLUE HD
