| Description of the problem | I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when i noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire. That is when i noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire. Air would not fill back into the tire. I even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either. I just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal. Needless to say i am very frustrated with this. Especially since i had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem! I am hoping to have this problem rectified... Don't even no where to start! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
