The night of purchase , The sales team ,finance & Service Dept allowed me to leave dealership with low tire pressure .

Then while going to a DR. Appointment ,the tire went flat had to have it fixed.

Dealer told me they put sh*tty tires on new cars any more.

problem #1

Nov 082014

Optima LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,600 miles

On my second oil change, 6 months after purchase of my OPTIMA, the service noted again that the front tires were wearing down. Each time I went for an oil change, more wear and they always marked my tires as having a problem. I noted that the tires were wearing more than usual so finally, I went out and purchased tires.

My son blessed me out, because he said that the tires were still under warranty and that the serviceman should have told me that. Now he's the parent and I am the child. Guess I'm the dummy for not asking about replacement for my tires. It should also be noted that the Optima does not come with a spare tire of any kind, not even a jack. Instead you get a little bag (Mobility kit) with a can of fix-a-flat. I need to get out of this KIA.
