Tire Blowout Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, my wife took our granddaughter shopping. After dropping her off at home, my wife proceeded to drive ~30 miles home. On the way she noted a thumping sound coming from the front passenger side tire. She stopped at a gas station about halfway home to call me and ask that I come out to change the tire. At that time she noted a blister in the tire sidewall. Moments later there was a loud bang and the tire blew out while sitting at the gas station. The following day I took the vehicle back to the firestone dealer where the tires where purchased in the fall of 2010. After listening to a litany of excuses for the failure, including; she (my wife) must have hit a pot hole, tires were under inflated, front wheels were not aligned, tires had not been rotated, finally the salesperson conceded that the tire should not have blown out. The bad tire was replaced at minimum expense to me, but I paid for most of the other front tire, in order to have two tires with similar wear on the front of the vehicle.

The day I purchased my 2005 kia Sedona the radio stopped working. That was replaced, then the lighter went. Again the radio and then within the first three weeks the brakes and front end which has been the ongoing problems and concern to date. With numerous trips up until 9/05 and my taking it to yet another dealer 9/05-1/06 leading to it blowing out a tire and now them telling me all along of course that nothing is outside of "normal" or their fault etc. However buying this vehicle new and it sounding and like something I've never heard before (and I've driven for 20 years many types of cars new and very old!) let alone the way it shakes. . Yet they always led me to believe I was nuts. They did replaced the rotors finally only after I took it to someone else who documented it needed it and I took it back with the paper work and that wasn't until August (I bought it in may) and they'd blown me off for two months. I've called kia main office who also is making it not their problem it's a "normal" wear issue. There is no car that sounds and feels like this upon braking. Reading your site at least I know I'm not alone finally which is what *they* want you to think!.

While driving 60 to 65 mph the rear right passenger tire blew out. The consumer knows he did not run over any object in the road. The manufacturer of the tire was contacted and ask the consumer to send the tire back for further check up. The manufacturer called him back to let him know that the tire had been check and indicated that it was a side impact. Consumer does not agree with the findings.
