Takata recall - I purchased my 2008 Kia Rondo ex at white bear Mitsubishi on Nov. 20. 2018. & drove it for two or three days. I was backing out og parking space & I heard a loud noise & a bang & my Kia stopped on the spot. I got out to look what happened & my front drivers side tire was completely flat. A friend tried to blow it up with air thing & no luck. Some guys came out to help me try to change tbe tire & thats when he descovered that the coul snapped in two different places & went through my tire completely. So my Kia has been parked ever since that day. I dont know what to do about this safety issue im having. Please help me out here.

Coming back from Wisconsin the left front coil spring busted and shredded the inside of the left front tire blowing it out traveling at 65 miles per hour. I had seen on the internet that hyundies and Kia were noted for there defectiive front coil spring breaking and causing damage to tires and possibly wrecks. I called the Kia dealership in quincy, Illinois and he told me the parts were no longer under warranty and I would have to pay for parts and labor to fix my vehicle. This has already cost me $240 for 2 new front tires on my vehicle. I feel this is unfair due to the fact that possibly these front coil springs were of defective weak foreign material and should be investigated for the sake of peoples lives

Driving car on freeway and a loud noise came from the left wheel. Slow down noise lower but not has stop. Repair man says I need wheel bearings. I wonder if there were a recall for the wheel bearings that I don't know about. Has there be an a tech service bulletin issued on this type of problem? I was also told my brakes wear unevenly so a get a shaking in the steering wheel.
