Tire Blowout Problems of Kia Motor RIO

After owning my brand new kia Rio for only 2 weeks, I experienced a tire blowout on the freeway. Fortunately, I was not injured. This car is equipped with kumho tires. I do not feel safe driving this car. I have reported this incident to both kia and kumho who are both wholly unconcerned with this product failure.
