Inside door handles. Vehicle was stationary. The chrome paint used on the inside door handles cracks forming razor sharp edges that has sliced my hands deep while opening doors twice. I have called to report this awhile back and was told it would be sent to higher. Have not heard any response to this day. I have had to put electrical tape around all door handles to prevent being cut while opening doors. I have read on kia forums where others have had this same problem. My question is, what are you (kia motors) going to do about this problem? my concern is that a child will if not already, be cut bad by this. It could be bad enough to require stitches as this is a razor sharp edge we are talking about. This should be put on a safety issue recall and fixed by Kia Motors just saying. At least use something different on future vehicles.

Approximately a year ago I purchased four (4) new firestone control plus tires. The thread belts are separating and you can see large cracks into the tires. The tires have approx. 75% thread life. I have never owned tires of this questionable quality. Hopefully, firestone does not want to be contributing to highway deaths? as a school teacher, this could make some of my student's sad. . . !.
