Tire Sidewall Problems of Kia Motor Forte

With less than 40,000 miles on the car/tires, one of the front tires blew on the highway. Discovered it blew out on the side wall and metal was showing, took the car in and had the tire replaced. We did not keep that tire because we didn't realize it was not an isolated incident. About 2 weeks later the same thing happened to the other front tire. Took the car in to have the other 3 replaced and was informed that one of the rear tires was in the same condition and we are lucky it didn't blow out on us. The car has only been inspected by the tire shop and we kept the tires this time for inspection of anyone that can help file some sort of recall or claim. There is still a good amount of tread on the tires. This could very well have caused serious injury or death to my family!.

Three of the four oem tires that came on my vehicle have needed replacement due to damaged sidewalls. The oem tires are 16 inch nexen cp671 205/55r16 tires, and my vehicle currently has less than 23,000 miles on it. The first tire (front passenger) developed a weak external sidewall on or about 12/31/13, with 7,000 miles on the vehicle. I replaced this with a nexen cp671 205/55r16 oem tire. The second tire (rear driver side) developed a weak internal sidewall on or about August 15th, 2014, with 14,500 miles on the vehicle. I replaced this with a nexen cp671 205/55r16 oem tire. The third tire (rear passenger side) developed a weak external sidewall on or about February 25th, 2015, with 22,200 miles on the vehicle. This time, I replaced all four tires with a different brand.
