1 Tire Blowout problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2014

I have had several issues with this car. For starters when driving it will all of a sudden stop going for no reason. The car didn't die it simply doesn't go. The rpm's stopped working on one occasion and the head light blew out all in the same night. Dealer said there was no connection, so I had to replace the head light for $100. They advised the ground wire was lose so they tightened it. I had my tire blow out for no reason just driving down the road and it blew. Now on occasions my automatic door locks aren't working. And still wont go when giving it gas. It sounds like there is some kind of electrical problem with this model vehicle. I love my car would want a new one. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle at the time until it is fixed. There are no recalls on the vehicle and my warranty is almost up with problems repeating. I don't know what else to do. I just wish Dodge would fix whatever problems there are.

Hit a pot hole at 65 miles per hour on a bridge and tire blew out. Same thing happened 3 months ago except it blew out the tire and tore the rim when a pot hole was hit. When I finished changing the tire I looked up , and another Dodge Dart was behind me with the same front drivers side tire blown out , except her rim was torn . Dodge told me the tires have no warranty . There kumho tires . Are pieces of crap . . Apparently . . I was told by my tire guy that they are cheap and have weak sidewalls . . There are many incidents of problems with these tires. I will call covert Dodge in austin tomorrow to complain. Ill get 4 new michelin tires put on tomorrow. The car has 4000 miles on it. My first and last Dodge. They don't care about the safety of there customers apparently !!!!.

3 Tire Blowout problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2014

Traveling 30 mph on road and noticed my right rear tire went flat. Tire store said it was a sidewall blowout and would have to replace it. I replaced it with same brand tire. 3 weeks later 2/16/2014 same exact thing happens to my right front tire. So being the car is new I wanted to keep the tires all the same brand. Tire store got me the same tire. The very next day that 1 day old tire sidewall blows out. These are kumho solus kh25 tires size m225/45/17. I called kuhmo USA and was told there is a recall on those exact tires with same dot numbers k2x5yal8 3411-2512. My dot numbers were k2x5yal8 with dates 4812, 0313, 0913. I was told that I didn't qualify for the recall and there was nothing they could do. I think there should be a recall on all of these kumho solus kh25 tires. They are junk! not even lasting 1 day! I will not be buying kumho ever again.
