general problems of the 2003 Kia Motor Sedona

On Feb. 25, 2018, we purchased a 2003 kia Sedona van from city start auto sales in paradise, CA. All four tires and the spare were goodyear integrity 215/70r15. The tires read max. Psi 44, but the van said to run at 35 psi. So, once a week on a cool morning (between 68-75 degrees outside without it have been driven), my wife or I would make sure the tires were 34-35 psi. During this 3 month period, we noticed nothing wrong with the tires. On may 31, 2018, I was driving from my house in magalia, CA to chico, CA. Just as I started to merge onto hwy 99 in chico, I heard a thumping sound, then a bang--twice. I immediately pulled over and saw 2 tires had completely blown out and one was seriously showing the metal belt. I had to pay to get a tow truck out and immediately purchase 4 new tires. We've had a little work done on the rear-left fender continued to have weird sounds coming from the left rear where the worst blow out happened. I just haven't had time to take it in yet. I know it was hotter in chico than at my home, but it was probably in the upper 80's at that time. I had no warning and if it happened when I was on the freeway, it would've been a disaster. The tire company showed us the spare, said we could use it as one for a short time, but even it is showing something wrong to the tire guy.

The contact owns a 2003 kia Sedona. The tires are bigo euro tour tires, size p212/70r15. While driving 60mph, the vehicle jerked. It appeared to be a flat tire; however, the tire fell off of the vehicle and rolled down the interstate. The contact was able to control the vehicle and it was towed to the dealer. They were unable to diagnose the failure. The current mileage was 48946 and the failure mileage was 48765.

The contact owns a 2003 kia Sedona equipped with bridgestone firestone fr380 tires, tire size p215/70/r15. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph, and the front end of the vehicle and steering wheel began to shake. The vehicle was taken to a tire center where the front driver side tire and both rear tires were replaced. The technician stated that the tire tread exhibited premature wear. The similar failure recurred one year and nine months after the replacement of the three tires. The contact planned to notify the tire center for the vehicle to be inspected and to determine which tire was defective. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000. The dot number was unknown.

I've had a number of problems with my 2003 kia Sedona. Initially one of the gaskets leaked and had to n be replaced. The windshield cracked overnight in the garage when there was no weather extremes. The wheel bearings went in the front tire. Recently the engine had to be replaced because it was leaking and after replacing all the gaskets it couldn't get pressure. The driver's door handle broke, the lumbar support stopped working. The hood wouldn't close properly. And on top of all those things I've had 2 blowouts to the front driver's tire in a 2 year period. The dealer says there is nothing wrong with the wheel but I'm not sure he even checked because of the engine problems he had to deal with.

My tire ripped off the rim when we driving about 60 mph like the ones did for firestone and it did damage to my van the company did not want to fix anything well we lucky no one got hurt. So I took it to the dealer and they said they never seen this happen I think you should look at these tires.
