My left front tire is completely thread bare, and my mechanic tells me the remaining three are in dire need of replacement as well. This is the second pair of these tires to be replaced on this car. The first pair was at 2,000 miles. I have read of many complaints about this manufacturer's tires in the NHTSA data base. Most of the reports for the Kia Sephia did not mention the make and manufacturer of the tire. I would like for this tire to be investigated before someone is seriously injured. Had I not had my car in to have it serviced and the tires rotated I would not have been aware of the severity of the ware problem and could have been involved in an accident. In reference to the transmission on the Kia Sephia I have had two transmissions installed in this car since April of this year and the previous owner had returned the car to the manufacturer to have a new transmission installed. Why is Kia permitted to continue to provide defective materials for these vehicles?
