problem #1

May 262006

Rio 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 1,019 miles
After owning my brand new Kia Rio for only 2 weeks, I experienced a tire blowout on the freeway. Fortunately, I was not injured. This car is equipped with kumho tires. I do not feel safe driving this car. I have reported this incident to both Kia and kumho who are both wholly unconcerned with this product failure.
