Carrier/rack Problems of Kia Motor RIO

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. . . !.

Certain passenger vehicles may have a manufacturing flaw that could cause the wheels to crack under long term driving fatigue. If cracks occur, wheel noise and vibration will result and become progressively worse over time. Campaign number: 05v159000 - called kia to see if my car was under this recall and they said only cars built in 2000. What I would like to know is if we got all the cars becouse my 2001 Rio is doing the same thing that is listed above?.
